Effect of ultrasound irradiation on asphaltene aggregation and implications to rheological behavior of bitumen

The present work investigates the contribution of asphaltene aggregation to bitumen viscosity subject to ultrasound irradiation. A West-African bitumen with a viscosity of 12043 cP at room temperature was sonicated at low (38 kHz) and mild frequency (200 kHz) under controlled gas environment includi...
