Abstract: A process for making a bituminous binder emulsion is described.  The process involves: a) preparing a concentrated primary emulsion containing a surfactant and at least 65 wt.% in the case of an anionic emulsion, respectively at least 70 wt.% in the case of other emulsions, of bituminous binder, by mixing an initial aqueous phase and a liquid bituminous phase under the effect of a shearing mechanical energy and in the presence of the surfactant; and b) adding a diluting aqueous phase to the primary emulsion.
