The largest natural asphalt deposit in the world is located in Buton Island( Indonesia) which is around 677 million tons. sweats in exercising the Asbuton gemstone to produce asphalt as the relief of petroleum asphalt have been carried out by other experimenters, but they only produced a conventional type of asphalt. Also in general, the system that was used is relatively precious. The conventional asphalt in road pavement is unfit to repel business loads and inordinate temperatures, performing in distortion. This exploration is about making nano asphalt from Asbuton gemstone with using a combination of microemulsion fashion and sonication. The advantage of this fashion is the effectiveness of the process in producing the nano asphalt that's by rooting the asphalt from the pores of Asbuton gemstone contemporaneously forming( in- situ) the nanoparticles. Experimental variables that are varied in this study are the temperature, oil painting bit, type of detergent, flyspeck size, and type of surfactant( HLB). To find the optimum Yield of nano asphalt, the involved variables are dissembled and optimized by using Factorial Design, Pareto Diagram, and Response face styles.
The comprehensive results from the simulation are presented in this report including the significant variables which were optimized to produce the optimum Yield of nano asphalt. The optimum Yield of nano asphalt theoretically generated from Response face ranged between 80 –99.90. The results of confirmation with trials using optimized variables show the similarity between the optimum Yields and the simulated Yields value. The produced nano asphalt was delved by Transmission Electron Microscopy( TEM), Scanning Electron Microscopy( SEM), Infrared Spectrophotometer( IR) andX-Ray Diffraction( XRD) to prove the quality of nano asphalt.
