Abstract: A recovered asphalt binder with improved solubility and characteristics for use as filler to extend grade of base/virgin asphalt and related methods are described. A recovered asphalt binder with improved solubility, stiffening or softening, and performance-enhancing characteristics for use as modifier to upgrade base/virgin asphalt and related methods are described. Recovered asphalt binder with improved solubility, stiffening or softening, performance-enhancing and elastic characteristics for use as modifier to upgrade base/virgin asphalt and/or reduce polymer requirements and related methods are described. A recovered asphalt binder intermediately blended with one or more additives for use as filler to extend grade of base/virgin asphalt and related methods are described. Modified asphalt products made using a recovered asphalt binder and related methods are described.

Abstract: A method of treatment for inhibiting sulfur-based corrosion or scaling or for removing scaling from a surface including inhibiting corrosion caused by sulfur-containing materials, reducing corrosion caused by sulfur-containing materials, inhibiting scaling caused by sulfur-containing and sulfur-containing materials in gas, liquid or solid phase or any combination of multiple phases of materials, reducing scaling caused by sulfur-containing and sulfur-containing materials, and removing scaling caused by sulfur-containing and sulfur-containing materials. The method involves contacting sulfur-containing materials with a composition containing a turpentine liquid. The method also involves contacting corrodible surfaces or surfaces prone to scaling with a composition containing a turpentine liquid.
