Abstract
Asphalt deposits are distributed in many areas on earth and released natural asphalt of various chemical composition. Rheological properties of natural asphalt are usually improved by the addition of synthetic additives to convert it into a useful material for various industrial applications. In this work, the chemical composition of natural asphalt obtained from Al-Qayyarah/Iraq was analysed to detect its alluvial system using column chromatography and infrared spectrophotometer. Moreover, Natural asphalt was then treated by the addition of food waste product particularly eggshell powder (ESP) and commercially available low density polyethylene (LDP) in different ratios. The asphalt was separated into four main parts using column chromatography in a manner called SARA. The relative amounts of the paraffin compounds (28.58%), aromatic (29.34%), resins (19.88%) and asphalt (20.04%) determined the quality of …
