The disclosure provides bio-asphalt, bio-asphalt compositions and a method for preparing them. It belongs to the technical field of asphalt material. The method of the disclosure uses bio-oil as the raw material, adopts a combination of extraction process and oxidation process to prepare bio-asphalt, and modifies the product obtained from bio-oil by extraction process or bio-asphalt with ordinary petroleum asphalt and/or aromatic hydrocarbon oil and a macromolecular material to obtain a bio-asphalt composition.

Pitch products produced by systems and processes utilizing coal tar or decant oil for coal or petroleum based pitch are disclosed. Total pitch production yields are increased by heat treating distillate fractions from the pitch production process. A heat treatment system, process and products produced thereby are disclosed. The heaviest distillates having the highest molecular weights are subjected to heat treatment, though other embodiments contemplate heat treating a variety of combined distillate fractions. The heat treatment systems require heat soaking the distillate(s) at elevated temperatures of 459-535 C. at a near-constant temperature with near-uniform flow. A fraction of the heat-treated distillate may be reintroduced to the pitch production system as part of a continuous process.
