Analysis of the current research status of road snow removal technology
This article summarizes and analyzes the current research status of highway snow removal technology from two aspects that new snow melting agents and self melting ice pavement.In order to reduce the corrosiveness of traditional snow melting agents,the research and development of new snow melting agents mainly involves adding corrosion inhibitors to chlorinated snow melting agents and conducting research and development of chlorine free snow melting agents.Self melting ice pavement mainly involves adding low freezing point materials to asphalt mixtures or laying self heating elements in pavement structural layers.In addition,research has been conducted on the new idea of using super hydrophobic pavement components to achieve active ice melting on the pavement.
