Abstract:To
understand the thermal characteristics, nonisothermal kinetic
models, and volatile constituents during the energy conversion of
bituminous materials at the fraction level, differential scanning
calorimetry–mass spectrometry tests were performed on bituminous
four fractions, including saturates, aromatics, resins, and asphaltenes
(SARA). Then, three-dimensional (3D) nonisothermal kinetic models
of SARA fractions were established and volatile constituents of SARA
fractions were discussed. Results indicate tha… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
