Abstract

Bitumen is an important organic liquid in the nature. The main characteristics which are highly viscous, black, sticky make bitumen are the suitable to use in paving road .This is a major application for bitumen otherwise also use as an intermediate product for roof surfacing, waterproof boats and others. By emulsifying process, bitumen emulsion was creating to reduce the viscosity and get lower temperature for spraying or mixing purposes. But in bitumen emulsion industries, packaging maintenance is a major problem. High cost in packaging because of only drum and large tank is suitable to use for commercialized. For this research, the problem will be solving by converting bitumen emulsion to bitumen powder. Silicon dioxide was used as an additive to produce bitumen powder from bitumen emulsion. The trade name of silicon dioxide is SIPERNAT an is use as a powdering agent for manufacturing fine-particle powders with good dispersion characteristics In previous invention silicon dioxide is used as a additive to convert liquid bitumen to powder To remove the water from bitumen emulsion drying method was applied by using spray dryer.
