Changes of South-East Anatolian Bitumens and Their Main Fractions Under Vajious Oxidative Conditions

Abstract

Fractional analysis of South-East Anatolian bitumens were made by means of J. Marcusson’s method and changes in fractional compositions and in functional groups under oxidative conditions were investigated. A more detailed study was carried out on the asphalticresins fraction of the bitumen having Mağrip origin, since thisbitumenpro- ved to be the most susceptible one to oxidative conditions among others
