Gasoline is produced in oil refineries, also called petroleum refineries. Other products made there are diesel fuel, asphalt base, heating oil, kerosene, and liquefied petroleum gas.
Cold Mix Asphalt is a mixture of aggregate and asphalt. Cutback asphalt is a liquid asphalt. Cold Mix Asphalt is a mixture of Aggregate and Asphalt. The Asphalt is usually am emulsion asphalt or a cutback asphalt. An emulsion asphalt is asphalt cement blended with water. Cutback asphalt is asphalt cement blended with a fuel oil, kerosene, or a naptha. The water, fuel oil, kerosene or Naphta evaporates and leaves the asphalt.

The cost to recycle asphalt shingles is rather low. Sometimes free. Your biggest cost will be the transportation cost to haul them to your local paving contractor. A cost that the contractor would have is the shredding of the shingles to make them usable in hot mix asphalt. With the percentage of asphalt binder usually around 17-18% in asphalt shingles, most paving contractors will either take them off your hands for free or buy them from you. Asphalt binder is what is left over after gasoline, diesel, kerosene, and other volatiles are distilled off of crude oil. With the rising oil prices, all asphalt paving contractors are looking for ways to increase the amount of recycled asphalt pavement or shingles they use in their mix designs. I am in the Asphalt Recycling business as we speak. I am involved with this through out the U.S. and the answer above is wrong. No one in the U.S. is paying for asphalt shingles at this time! You will receive a discounted tipping fee at the asphalt shingle recycling center. I was just at the National Asphalt conference in Chicago, were everyone who is someone in the asphalt business, or is associated with the Asphalt Recycling end were at. There is no talk of the Asphalt producers paying for them because part of the business plan is to collect those fees. Paying for asphalt shingles to be dumped at your site is about 10-20 years away.
Asphalt is the correct spelling.
Use asphalt as a noun. I fell on the asphalt and hurt my knee.
An air-blown asphalt is a form of asphalt produced by blowing air through molten asphalt to raise its softening point.
It's called refining the petroleum (occurring at refineries). This process is used in order to separate the crude oil into products such as diesel fuel, heating oil, liquified petroleum gas, kerosene, gasoline, or asphalt base.
The main asphalt paving product is hot mix asphalt, in which asphalt cement is used to bind a mixture of stone, sand, and gravel.
An asphalt road is considered heterogeneous. This is because the asphalt in the road is not uniform or constant in structure.
For the density of compacted asphalt pavements: 1,75-2,4 g/cm3. For liquid asphalt: approx. 1 g/cm3.
AC is an abbreviation for asphalt. The terms "asphalt (or asphaltic) concrete", "bituminous asphalt concrete" and the abbreviation "AC" are typically used only in engineering and construction documents and literature. ASPH or AP is the abbreviation of Asphalt.
