Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This paper represents and discusses the results of quantitative determination for fragmentary composition of road bitumen of grade BND 100/130 and its components (asphaltenes, resins and oils) by NMR spectroscopy method. Group chemical composition of the bitumen has been determined by adsorption chromatography method. It has been identified that the bitumen and its components consist only of aromatic and aliphatic protons, which account for 2.4‒10.2% and 9.8‒97.6% respectively. Availability of olefinic elements in them has not been identified. The most part (79‒81%) of nuclei of carbon atoms relates to quaternary carbon atoms of saturated compounds. Primary carbon atoms at methylene group (CH2) are contained in the least quantity: bitumen ‒ 1.32%; asphaltenes – 0.6%; resins – 3.24% and oils – 2.11%. Primary carbon atoms, linked with CH-group or aromatic nucleus, occupy an intermediate position and are contained in the quantity of 17‒20%.
