WHAT DOES BITUMEN MEAN IN SPANISH?

Bitumen

Betún

Bitumen is a highly viscous, black, sticky organic liquid blend, completely soluble in carbon disulfide and composed mainly of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Bitumen is the residual fraction resulting from the fractional distillation of petroleum. It is the heaviest fraction and the one with the highest boiling point. It should not be confused with asphalt or tar. These mixtures of bituminous materials were used in constructions of roads and masonry, in Mesopotamia and the Indus Valley. In addition, in Egypt, bitumen was used in mummification, until 3000 BC. It is also a mixture of tow, lime, oil and slag or ground glass, used to cover the joints of the bowls in the water pipes and for other hydraulic works. Most of the bitumens contain sulfur and several heavy metals like nickel, vanadium, Lead, chromium, mercury and also arsenic, selenium and other toxic elements. Bitumens can achieve a good conservation of plants and animals, which form fossils in the rocks.

El betún o bitumen es una mezcla de líquidos orgánicos altamente viscosa, negra, pegajosa, completamente soluble en disulfuro de carbono y compuesta principalmente por hidrocarburos aromáticos policíclicos. El betún es la fracción residual resultante de la destilación fraccionada del petróleo. Es la fracción más pesada y la que tiene el punto de ebullición más elevado. No debe ser confundido con el asfalto ni con el alquitrán. Estas mezclas de materiales bituminosos eran utilizadas en construcciones de caminos y albañileria, en Mesopotamia y el Valle del Indo. Además, en Egipto, el bitumen fue empleado en momificaciones, hasta el año 3000 a.C. También es una mezcla de estopa, cal, aceite y escorias o vidrios molidos, utilizada para tapar las juntas de los arcaduces en las cañerías de aguas y para otras obras hidráulicas La mayoría de los betunes contienen azufre y varios metales pesados como níquel, vanadio, plomo, cromo, mercurio y también arsénico, selenio y otros elementos tóxicos. Los betunes pueden lograr una buena conservación de plantas y animales, que forman fósiles en las rocas.
