Efficient demulsification is vital for the application of emulsified asphalt in road construction. In this paper, the effects of the main chemical components of the aggregates (CaCO3, MgO, Fe2O3, SiO2, Al2O3) on the demulsification process of emulsified asphalt were studied by experiment and simulation using a Gompertz model. The findings indicate that the surface energy, specific surface area, and pH of the chemical components of the aggregates are the most important factors influencing the demulsification speed of the emulsified asphalt. The choice of the aggregate’s main chemical components can accelerate demulsification speed, with the acceleration effect of Al2O3 on anionic (SDBS) emulsified asphalt and MgO on cationic (STAC) emulsified asphalt both reaching 60%. The fit between the Gompertz model and the experimental viscosity curve is greater than 0.93, which verifies the utility of using the Gompertz approach for studying emulsified asphalt-aggregate mortar viscosity changes. A demulsification evaluation function φ(t) of emulsified asphalt is proposed based on the parameters of the Gompertz model. When φ(t) is close to 1, the emulsified asphalt-aggregate mortar is fully demulsified, and setting φ(t)=1 allows the demulsification time of the emulsified asphalt-aggregate mortar to be calculated from the Gompertz model parameters.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were frequently found in sediment and were primarily treated through microbial degradation. Thus, efficient management of PAH pollution requires exploring the molecular degradation mechanisms of PAHs and expanding the pool of available microbial resources. A fungus (identified as Sarocladium terricola strain RCEF778 ) with the remarkable ability to degrade pyrene was screened from sediment near a petrochemical plant, and its growth and pyrene degradation characteristics were comprehensively investigated. The results showed that the fungus exhibited great effectiveness in pyrene degradation, with a degradation ratio of 88.97% at 21 days at the conditions: 35 °C, pH 7, 10 mg L −1 initially pyrene concentration, 3% supplementary salt, and glucose supplementation. The generation and concentration variation of the intermediate products were identified, and the results revealed that the fungus degraded pyrene through two pathways: by salicylic acid and by phthalic acid. Three sediments (M1, M2, M3), each exhibiting different levels of PAH pollution, were employed to examine the effectiveness of fungal degradation of PAHs in practical sediment samples. These data showed that with the fungus, the degradation ratios ranged from 13.64% to 23.50% for 2–3 rings PAHs, 40.93%–49.41% for 4 rings PAHs, and 39.59%–48.07% for 5–6 rings PAHs, which were significantly higher than those for the sediment without the fungus and confirmed the excellent performance of the fungal. Moreover, the Gompertz model was employed to analyze the degradation kinetics of 4-rings and 5–6 rings PAHs in these sediments, and the results demonstrated that the addition of the fungus could significantly increase the maximum degradation ratio, degradation start-up rate and maximum degradation rate of 4-rings and 5–6 rings PAHs and shorten the time required to reach the maximum degradation rate. This study not only supplied fungal materials but also established crucial theoretical foundations for the development of bioremediation technologies aimed at high molecular weight PAH-contaminated sediments.
