About Bitumen

Bitumen is a black or dark-colored material that exists in various forms, including solid, semi-solid, and viscous states. It is amorphous in nature and serves as a crucial component in construction and road paving. Bitumen can be found in different forms, such as rock asphalt, natural bitumen, tar, and petroleum-derived bitumen.

Global Usage

Bitumen plays a significant role in road construction worldwide. In fact, most of the world's roads are paved with bitumen. The global demand for bitumen exceeds 100 million tons annually, which is roughly equivalent to 700 million barrels consumed each year.

Terminology

The terminology for bitumen can vary by region. In Europe, bitumen often refers to the liquid binder used in road construction. In contrast, North America commonly uses the term "asphalt" or "asphalt cement" for the liquid binder.

Bituminous Materials

The term "bituminous materials" encompasses substances that either contain bitumen or can be derived from it. These materials typically consist of bitumens and tars.

Natural Forms

Bitumen can be found in nature in various forms. There are hard and easily crumbled bitumens present in rock asphalt. In contrast, softer and more viscous forms of bitumen are found in tar sands and asphalt lakes.

Petroleum Processing

Another significant source of bitumen is through petroleum processing. In this process, bitumen is essentially the residue obtained through the distillation of petroleum. Although natural sources of bitumen exist, the world primarily relies on petroleum-derived bitumen for various purposes.
