  • Patent number: 8664281
    Abstract: A method for handling asphalt emulsion is provided. The method includes providing the asphalt emulsion. The method also includes employing a first set of diaphragm pumps to transfer the asphalt emulsion from a first container to a second container. The second container represents a first storage tank if the first container is a colloidal mill. The second container represents a transportation tank if the first container is the first storage tank. The second container represents a second storage tank at a job site if the first container is the transportation tank. The second container represents a slurry machine if the first container is the second storage tank at the job site.

  • Patent number: 8664284
    Abstract: A method of depolymerizing formulated rubbers and polymer solids is described. The method utilizes a solvent at or above the solvent's critical pressure and critical temperature with a low ratio of solvent to the solid material. The resulting depolymerized material in either substantially solid or highly viscous liquid form can be repolymerized with the addition of more monomer.
