Certified and substandard paving bituments of Kirishi Petroleum Processing
Plant were studied by H-1 and C-13 NMR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction.
The differences in the aromaticity degree of asphaltenes and malthenes of t
hese bitumens were revealed. The parameters of layered-block stacks of the
asphaltenes were measured.
