Abstract
A natural and a petroleum asphalt were examined with respect to elemen tal, functional group, minor, and trace element composition. Bitumen-i norganic and bitumen-mineral associations are reported. The affinity o f specific functional groups for inorganic elements has been character ized, thus making it possible to predict the type of interactions that will occur based on compositional analyses of both the bitumen and mi neral.
