The chemical characteristics of bitumen influence its industrial values and its physical characteristics for road construction. There are vast deposits of bitumen in Agbabu and Loda in Odigbo and Irele area in Ondo State, Nigeria, for years unutilized. The evaluation of their chemical constituents with the imported bitumen, Raynolds Construction Company (RCC)... Continue here
