  • Patent number: 10527547
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and to a device for determining a material property, in particular the aging state or the aging resistance, of a bitumen material, comprising the steps: applying a substantially monochromatic first excitation radiation of a first excitation wavelength to the bitumen material; measuring the intensity of a first fluorescence radiation, excited by the first excitation radiation, at a measurement wavelength; applying a substantially monochromatic second excitation radiation of a first excitation wavelength to the bitumen material; measuring the intensity of a second fluorescence radiation, excited by the second excitation radiation, at the measurement wavelength; determining a first key figure for the material property of the bitumen material from the ratio between the intensity of the second fluorescence radiation to the intensity of the first fluorescence radiation.

  • Publication number: 20110041733
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing an aggregate for the production of building materials, wherein a starting material containing at least one fibre-containing waste fraction has had heavy materials removed and been comminuted in order to obtain a substantially free-flowing aggregate. Improved product properties can be achieved in such a way that the fibre content is set between 3% and 45%, preferably between 5% and 25%, and more preferably between 7% and 12%, and a mass fraction of between 2% and 25%, preferably between 2% and 10%, and more preferably between 3% and 8%, of a fine-grain inorganic additive is set. The invention further relates to an aggregate produced according to this method, and to asphalt or concrete.
