Rotary Evaporator

A rotary evaporator is used to recover bitumen from an asphalt mixture, either from a plant mix sample or a pavement sample. 

The method is intended for the recovery of bitumen and can also be used for polymer-modified bitumen.
The method may also be adapted for the recovery of soft bitumen.
