A method for repairing an aged asphalt pavement is provided. The method involves passing an emitter over the aged asphalt pavement, wherein the emitter generates electromagnetic radiation having a wavelength of from 20 microns to 1 mm that penetrates into the pavement to a depth of at least 2 inches
A method for repairing an aged asphalt pavement is provided. The method involves passing an emitter over the aged asphalt pavement, wherein the emitter generates electromagnetic radiation having a wavelength of from 20 microns to 1 mm that penetrates into the pavement to a depth of at least 2 inches. The asphalt pavement is repaired by disturbing voids and interstices in the damaged pavement without dehydrogenation of the asphalt, such that oligomers present in the aged asphalt are linked together into longer polymer chains to improve ductility of the aged asphalt.

A method for repairing an asphalt pavement, comprising: passing an emitter over an asphalt pavement comprising asphalt that is aged, wherein the emitter generates electromagnetic radiation having a wavelength of from 20 nm to 2 mm, the radiation penetrating into the asphalt pavement to a depth of
1. A method for repairing an asphalt pavement, comprising: passing an emitter over an asphalt pavement comprising asphalt that is aged, wherein the emitter generates electromagnetic radiation having a wavelength of from 20 nm to 2 mm, the radiation penetrating into the asphalt pavement to a depth of at least 2 inches, wherein a temperature differential throughout a top two inches of asphalt pavement is 100° F. or less, wherein a highest temperature in the top two inches of asphalt pavement does not exceed 300° F., and wherein a minimum temperature in the top two inches of asphalt pavement is at least 200° F., whereby voids and interstices in the asphalt pavement are disturbed without dehydrogenation of the asphalt, and whereby oligomers present in the asphalt are linked together into longer polymer chains, whereby ductility of the asphalt is improved. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the emitter produces electromagnetic radiation with a power density of from 0.47 to 2.33 W/cm2 or from 133 to 664 (ft·lbf/min)/in2. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the emitter is a panel comprising a serpentine wire and a micaceous material through which the electromagnetic radiation generated by the emitter passes. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the emitter comprises at least one emitter panel, wherein each emitter panel comprises: a frame having a high-density ceramic liner;a sheet of a micaceous material exhibiting biaxial birefringence; anda serpentine wire positioned between the high-density ceramic liner and the sheet of the micaceous material. 5. The method of claim 4, wherein the emitter comprises a hood having a cavity therein, wherein the frame is attached to reels on the outside of the hood, to permit adjustment of the at least one emitter panel within the cavity, wherein the emitter panel is configured to be adjusted such that a distance of an emitter surface to an asphalt pavement surface is from a quarter of an inch to an inch, wherein the emitter further comprises a sheath of stainless steel configured to protect the micaceous material from being damaged. 6. The method of claim 5, wherein the emitter further comprises a power source configured to supply electrical power to the at least one emitter panel, wherein the power source is a portable generator. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the asphalt pavement is a standard road or highway traffic lane including an associated shoulder, and wherein the emitter is sized so as to irradiate the standard road or highway traffic lane including an associated shoulder. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the asphalt pavement is a two lane road, and wherein the emitter is sized so as to irradiate a full width of the two lane road. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein the emitter comprises a plurality of emitter panels, and wherein the plurality of emitter panels are arranged in an array wherein each emitter panel abuts an adjacent emitter panel. 10. A method for repairing an asphalt pavement, comprising: passing an emitter over an asphalt pavement comprising asphalt that is aged, wherein the emitter generates electromagnetic radiation having a wavelength of from 2 mm to 5 mm, the radiation penetrating into the asphalt pavement to a depth of at least 2 inches, wherein a temperature differential throughout a top two inches of asphalt pavement is 100° F. or less, wherein a highest temperature in the top two inches of asphalt pavement does not exceed 300° F., and wherein a minimum temperature in the top two inches of asphalt pavement is at least 200° F., whereby voids and interstices in the asphalt pavement are disturbed without dehydrogenation of the asphalt, and whereby oligomers present in the asphalt are linked together into longer polymer chains, whereby ductility of the asphalt is improved. 11.

The method of claim 10, wherein the emitter is a panel comprising a serpentine wire and a micaceous material through which the electromagnetic radiation generated by the emitter passes. 13. The method of claim 10, wherein the emitter comprises at least one emitter panel, wherein each emitter panel comprises: a frame having a high-density ceramic liner;a sheet of a micaceous material exhibiting biaxial birefringence; anda serpentine wire positioned between the high-density ceramic liner and the sheet of the micaceous material. 14. The method of claim 13, wherein the emitter comprises a hood having a cavity therein, wherein the frame is attached to reels on the outside of the hood, to permit adjustment of the at least one emitter panel within the cavity, wherein the emitter panel is configured to be adjusted such that a distance of an emitter surface to an asphalt pavement surface is from a quarter of an inch to an inch, wherein the emitter further comprises a sheath of stainless steel configured to protect the micaceous material from being damaged. 15. The method of claim 14, wherein the emitter further comprises a power source configured to supply electrical power to the at least one emitter panel, wherein the power source is a portable generator. 16. The method of claim 10, wherein the asphalt pavement is a standard road or highway traffic lane including an associated shoulder, and wherein the emitter is sized so as to irradiate the standard road or highway traffic lane including an associated shoulder. 17. The method of claim 10, wherein the asphalt pavement is a two lane road, and wherein the emitter is sized so as to irradiate a full width of the two lane road. 18. The method of claim 10, wherein the emitter comprises a plurality of emitter panels, and wherein the plurality of emitter panels are arranged in an array wherein each emitter panel abuts an adjacent emitter panel.
