The selling price of gilsonite rock in Iran and other producers of this mineral is very reasonable, so people can apply for it. Sales of gilsonite are growing significantly around the world because it is the most widely used metal. A noteworthy point in relation to stone is that this metal has a very affordable price and can be found in abundance in certain parts of the country. And all consumers can take action according to their needs.
What Is Gilsonite Lump ?
Gilsonite pile is the local term, Gilsonite used by miners and warehousemen in Kermanshah and Ilam. Gilsonite pile is a natural hydrocarbon, 99% + pure, high asphaltene (70%) and nitrogen compounds (3%) and ‘perfectly compatible with asphalt. This product mixes easily with hot water. This product is used as a modifier and increases temperature resistance, endurance and tensile strength. Also, high concentrations of asphaltene increase the viscosity of bitumen. Typically, 5 to 15% is used as a viscosifier for bitumen. Consumption of this glysonite greatly increases the fatigue life of asphalt and therefore is the most used in road construction and the reason for its use is more because of its natural availability and cheap It is.
How Gilsonite Lump Turns in to Different Grades?
Gilsonite, or bitumen, Natural bitumen lump hydrocarbon found in some countries, such as Iran, Iraq, and the United States. Natural agglomerates, like petroleum asphalts, have been hard, commonly referred to as natural asphalt, asphalt, and asphalt. Gilsonite is like asphalt Petroleum is dissolved in aromatic and aliphatic solvents and due to its similar properties, bitumen with a higher softening point is mentioned. Gilsonite is a black mass, like some glossy minerals, and easily turns into a brown or black powdergilsonite lump of coal is the name of a black mineral that is composed of the remnants of ancient geological plant materials and is used as fuel as a raw material for some chemical industries to produce gas, coke, oil, tar, etc. However, some geologists believe that coal is a mineral. is not. A large part of the mass of coal is carbon. Other constituents of coal include hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur. Types of coal have been formed in different geological periods and under different conditions. Peat is the first stage of coal formation. After that, lignite, semi-bituminous coal, bituminous coal and anthracite coal with different degrees of content are in the constituent materials, respectively. Coal is formed by compression and heat tolerance of some plants. It is from the fern plant.
How Gilsonite Lump Products Manufactured in to Gilsonite?
Gilsonite is a natural hydrocarbon that is physically and chemically specific in the area between refinery bitumen and coal. It was performed on the sample and its ash content was calculated to be 31.5%. In order to reduce the impurities of heavy intermediate tests in different granulations and flotation at different water temperatures, it was performed on the existing samples. Crushing of Gilsonite of this mine to less than 5 cm Dimensions larger than 1 mm with 23.3% ash at a density of 1.4 gr / cm3 can be recovered by heavy intermediate method and also dimensions smaller than 1 mm with 22.5% ash can be recovered using flotation method. Be.
Gilsonite can be added as a free or dry stream or granular solid granules. It can also be added in weights by melting plastic bags or in bulk or by rotating feeders. In the most important method, gilsonite is added directly to the refinery bitumen tank. The temperature of the refinery bitumen is approximately 170 ° C and there is a constant circulating motion to create uniformity throughout the tank, as well as gilsonite is added from the top of the tank. This product is easily dissolved by mechanical mitigating agents. To solve it faster, you can use a powerful stirrer that has a rotary generator with a vortex mode. Gilsonite is easily compatible with hot compounds and mixtures and does not require specialized equipment in the addition operation.
