Abstract:This paper investigates hydrophobic
and self-regenerative characteristics
of sulfur blooms at the surface of bituminous composites. It further
examines the implication of sulfur blooms in the sustainability of
outdoor construction elements containing bituminous composites. The
occurrence of the abovementioned sulfur blooms is reported for the
first time in this paper. The recent restriction on gaseous emissions
from marine fuels has led refineries to remove sulfur from marine
fuels resulting in a significant s… Show more
