In this work, for the development of oil bitumens, the high-tar oil of the Karazhanbas field, which is economically unprofitable for processing, is used as an additive to the tar of a mixture of oils of Martyshi + Mangystau. As a modifying and plasticizing agent, a technogenic modifier – elemental sulfur (waste from the Tengiz oil and gas processing complex) was used, and various induction moments were introduced, which are an additional source of structure formation of the oxidized feedstock. The Karazhanbas oil field, although economically unprofitable for processing, is unique in its component composition. It contains a large number of high-molecular and resinous-asphaltene components (resins 24,18% and asphaltenes 4,85%) prone toassociative interactions and structure formation. Asphaltenes, in turn, are stabilizers of molecular weight growth, and, in general, make a significant contribution to improving the technological parameters of the target product-bitumen. The mechanism of action of elemental sulfur is that when dispersed with a reaction mixture, there is an increase in the release of acid gases, such as: H2S, CO, SO2, which is explained by an increase in the rates of polycondensation and compaction reactions. This increases the rate of reaction of bitumen sulphurization in the reaction system. Over time, the intensity of gas release decreases due to a gradual decrease in the rates and further cessation of compaction and polycondensation reactions. The structure of the bitumen stabilizes. Induction moments were used as an additional object of the structure builder. The creation of the induction factors increased the amount of reactive monocularity and bicyclogermacrene hydrocarbons (as confirmed by the indicators of instrumental analysis) that accelerate the formation of high molecular compounds, which leads to increased molecular weight of oxidizable starting material, thereby improving the technological parameters of the resulting bitumen. Technogenic sulfur and induction moments in tandem have a combined effect on the physical and mechanical characteristics of the developed bitumen. Summarizing the above results of experimental work, it should be noted that by choosing the calculated amount of raw materials, additives and varying various induction moments, you can get bitumen of the BN 80/120 brand, and this makes it possible to dispose of man-made waste, which is economically and environmentally appropriate.
