consisting of three things, (i.e. water + Emulsion + Bitumen) where
droplets of bitumen are suspended in water.

The production of bitumen emulsion consists of two primary steps.

In the 1st step water is mixed with appropriate emulsifying agent and
other chemicals. The type of emulsifier to be used depends upon the ionic 1 friend likes this
nature of the mix.
The 2nd step is the addition of bitumen with the water-emulsifier mix.
This is done in a colloidal mill. Depending upon the use, the amount of
bitumen to be added with water may range from 40 to 70%. Water-
emulsifier mix and bitumen is pumped to a colloidal mill. The colloidal
mill breaks the bitumen into tiny droplets. The average diameter of these
tiny droplets of bitumen is about 2 micron. Here comes the role of
emulsifier. Emulsifier creates a coating of surface charge around the
bitumen droplets that helps to keep these tiny particles away from each
other. It also helps to keep these particles in a dispersed form.
After completion of the 2nd step, the bitumen emulsion is pumped into
storage tank.
Note: Here the word “setting” should not mean attainment of strength;
rather it means the time taken by the bitumen to separate from water.
