Bayer Red Mud

In this work, related performances of asphalt binders with Bayer red mud powder (RMP) were studied. RMP replaced the traditional limestone powder (LSP) as a filler in asphalt binder. The replacement rates were 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%, respectively. In this study, seven F/A (filler-to-asphalt, weight/weight) ratios for each of the fillers were selected: 0.3, 0.6, 0.9, 1.2, 1.5, 1.8, and 2.1. Penetration, softening point, rotational viscosity (RV), dynamic shear rheometry (DSR), and bending beam rheometry (BBR) tests were used to evaluate the properties of the asphalt binder. Penetration into the asphalt binder decreases linearly with increasing F/A ratio. Moreover, penetration of binder with RMP is lower than that of asphalt binder with LSP (RMP0), and among the five fillers tested, RMP100 showed most significant influence on penetration of the asphalt binder. The addition of RMP increases the softening point of the binder. DSR results show that the improvement in the high temperature performance is most significant after replacing 75% of the LSP with Bayer RMP. BBR results show that with increasing substitution of RMP for LSP, the creep stiffness (S) increased while the rate of change of S (m-value) declined. The low temperature performance of every asphalt binder was not enough to meet the Superpave requirements. In order to meet the Superpave requirements for S and m-values, the maximum F/A ratios of the five replacements corresponding to the fillers with 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% RMP, were 1.3, 1.2, 1.1, 1.0 and 0.9, respectively. At 135 °C, rotational viscosity showed that RMP75 and RMP100 with a maximum F/A ratio of 1.1 are the best choices for asphalt binders, considering economic and construction requirements.

Polyphosphric acid (PPA) modified asphalt binders were produced in the laboratory using one base asphalt and four levels of PPA contents (0.6%, 1.0%, 1.5% and 2.0% by weight of base asphalt). Penetration test, softening point test, rotation viscosity test, creep test with bending beam rheometer (BBR) and four components test were carried out to study the performance of PPA modified asphalt binders and possible modification mechanism. The results indicate that the high-temperature performance of PPA modified asphalt binders are obviously improved and temperature susceptibility are decreased, but the low-temperature performance slightly decline compared with base asphalt. The PPA content has a very significant effect on softening point whereas it has no significant influence on low-temperature performance according to variance analysis (ANOVA). Finally, four components test reveals that the primary modification mechanism of PPA is the change of chemical composition of asphalt binder.

Sustainable materials in the field of road pavement have become a research direction in recent years. In this study, the rice husk ash with small dosage of styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) was added as a bioadditive into the base asphalt to modify its properties. Different contents (0, 2, 5, 10, and 15%) of rice husk ash (RHA) and 1% of SBS were selected to prepare the modified asphalt. Penetration, softening point, ductility, rotational viscosity test, and temperature sweep test were conducted to investigate the properties of SBS/RHA-modified asphalt binder. Rutting test, moisture susceptibility, and low-temperature cracking were utilized to evaluate the performances of SBS/RHA-modified asphalt mixture. The results showed that the penetration decreased and the softening point and rotational viscosity enhanced while the ductility slightly decreased with the incorporation of rice husk ash. The SBS/RHA-modified asphalt mixture had better high-temperature performance than that of the virgin asphalt mixture but slightly lower moisture stability and low temperature performance. The tensile strength ratio of the virgin and modified asphalt mixture met the requirement of specification. The tensile strain of mixture SR15 was lower than the requirement for the asphalt mixtures on the basis of the specification. For the SBS/RHA-modified asphalt binder based on the comprehensive properties, the content of rice husk ash should not be higher than 15%.

This study investigates the physical and rheological properties of asphalt binders modified by nano aluminum oxide (AL2O3). Several conventional tests were conducted, including penetration, softening point and ductility, rotational viscosity and dynamic shear rheometer (DSR). Based on the results of the tests, it was found that the hardness of modified asphalt binders increased with the addition of nano AL2O3 up to 5%. As a result of the increased hardness, the softening point of modified asphalt improved compared with base asphalt binders. The rheological property of modified binders was enhanced at low and high temperatures. The results of a DSR test revealed that the G* were improved, whereas the δ decreased slightly. The addition of a different percentage of AL2O3 to base binder had a remarkable influence on resistance to permanent deformation (high temperature rutting and low temperature fatigue). Results recognize 5 wt.% as the optimum content of the modifier. Therefore, nano AL2O3 can be considered as a proper alternative additive to modify the properties of asphalt cement.

Sasobit additives with different dosages were added into 70# and 90# virgin asphalt binders to prepare WMA binders. The rheological properties, includingG∗andδ, were measured by using DSR at the temperature ranging from 46°C to 70°C, and the effects of temperature, additive dosage and aging onG∗/sin⁡δ, critical temperature, and H-T PG were investigated. The results indicate that WMA additive improvesG∗but reducesδ, and the improvement on 70# virgin binder is more significant.G∗/sin⁡δexponentially decreases with the increasing temperature but linearly increases with the increasing additive dosage. Aging effect weakens the interaction between binder and additive but significantly increases the binder’s viscosity; that is whyG∗/sin⁡δis higher after short-term aging. In addition, the critical temperature increases with the increasing additive dosage, and the additive dosage should be more than 3% and 5% to improve H-T PG by one grade for 70# and 90# virgin binder, respectively.

Asphalt Performance

The overall objectives of this study were to determine the most appropriate additive for improving the physical properties and the medium- and high-temperature performances (mechanical performance) of asphalt binders. Three different types of modified binders were prepared: crumb rubber modifier (CRM), polypropylene (PP), and tafpack super (TPS), which had concentrations of 2%, 3%, 3.5%, and 4% by weight of asphalt binder, for each modifier. Their physical and rheological properties were evaluated by applying various tests such as ductility, rotational viscosity, toughness, and tenacity, as well as the dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) test. As a result, the physical properties of the modified bitumen binders were compared, as were the medium- and high-temperature performances (mechanical performance), which had temperatures of 58, 64, 70, 76, 82, and 88 °C, respectively. This was how the most appropriate modifier was determined. The results demonstrated that the asphalt binder properties significantly improved by utilizing CRM followed by PP and TPS modifiers. The increase in the rutting parameter (G*/sin(δ)) after asphalt modification indicated its excellent performance at both medium- and high-temperatures. Lastly, the CRM was determined as the most preferred additive because of its positive effect on the physical properties and enhancement of the medium- and high-temperature performance (mechanical performance).

The modified asphalt binders with various anti-ageing additives, including ultraviolet (UV) absorber, antioxidant and combination of them, were prepared, and the effects of UV absorber contents, antioxidant contents and combination of UV absorber and antioxidant on physical properties and ageing characteristics of the asphalt binder were investigated. Results show that the ductility of asphalt binder increases whereas the softening point and viscosity decrease with addition of anti-ageing additives. UV absorbers and antioxidants exhibit different influences on the ageing properties of asphalt binder. The thermal- and photo-oxidative ageing performance of asphalt binder can be simultaneously improved by the compound modification with UV absorber and antioxidant. The combination of UV326 and antioxidant 1010 shows synergistic effect in preventing the asphalt binder from thermal- and photo-oxidative ageing, which contributes to excellent ageing resistance of modified asphalt binder.

The deteriorating ecological environment and the concept of sustainable development have highlighted the importance of waste reuse. This article investigates the performance changes resulting from the incorporation of shellac into asphalt binders. Seashell powder-modified asphalt was prepared with 5%, 10%, and 15% admixture using the high-speed shear method. The microstructure of the seashell powder was observed by scanning electron microscope test (SEM); the physical-phase analysis of the seashell powder was carried out using an X-ray diffraction (XRD) test; the surface characteristics and pore structure of shellac were analyzed by the specific surface area Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) test; and Fourier infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) qualitatively analyzed the composition and changes of functional groups of seashell powder-modified asphalt. The conventional performance index of seashell powder asphalt was analyzed by penetration, softening point, and ductility (5 °C) tests; the effect of seashell powder on asphalt binder was studied using a dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) and bending beam rheometer (BBR) at high and low temperatures, respectively. The results indicate the following: seashell powder is a coarse, porous, and angular CaCO3 bio-material; seashell powder and the asphalt binder represent a stable physical mixture of modified properties; seashell powder improves the consistency, hardness, and high-temperature performance of the asphalt binder but weakens the low-temperature performance of it; seashell powder enhances the elasticity, recovery performance, and permanent deformation resistance of asphalt binders and improves high-temperature rheological properties; finally, seashell powder has a minimal effect on the crack resistance of asphalt binders at very low temperatures. In summary, the use of waste seashells for recycling as bio-modifiers for asphalt binders is a practical approach.

Rutting, fatigue cracking and low temperature cracking are the most important distresses in asphalt pavements as a result of changes in rheological properties of asphalt binder. Many types of modifiers were used to enhance asphalt behavior at both low and high temperatures. In this study, carbon nanotubes (CNT) were used as one of many nanomaterials that take a large attention in the latest research related to asphalt modification against different types of distresses. Effect of CNT on rheological properties of asphalt binder was investigated by testing unmodified and CNT modified asphalt binders using two of Superpave devices: Dynamic Shear Rheometer (DSR) and Bending Beam Rheometer (BBR). Penetration, softening point, flash point and rotational viscosity (RV) tests were carried out as well. CNT was added in 0.1%, 0.5% and 1% by weight of asphalt binder. It was found that adding CNT in 0.5% and 1% increase stiffness of asphalt and consequently asphalt pavement rutting resistance. On the other hand, this increase in stiffness affected pavement behavior adversely which is not desirable for fatigue and low temperature cracking. However, Superpave specifications were still satisfied and asphalt binder’s relaxation properties were improved upon CNT modification. It was eventually found that 0.5% of CNT is the optimum percentage for the best performance.

This research examines the impacts of adding various source and percentages of waste engine oil (WEO) on the physical and rheological characteristics of asphalt binder comprising aged asphalt binder. A base asphalt binder with penetration grade of 80/100 and aged binder were blended with three sources of WEO at 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% by the weight of asphalt binder. These oils were collected from light vehicle (motorcycle), heavy vehicle (lorry), and heavy machinery (tractor). Penetration and softening point procedures were done to define the physical properties of the unmodified and modified asphalt binders. Meanwhile, the rheological property was evaluated with a dynamic shear rheometer (DSR). The results show that the high percentages of WEO increased the penetration and decreased the softening point. The addition of 15% and 20% of WEO especially from heavy machinery reduced the rutting resistance. Therefore, it is recommended that the modification of aged binder with these types of WEO should be up to 10%.

To solve the nanoparticles (NPs) agglomeration phenomena of nanometer calcium carbonate (nano-CaCO3) modified asphalt binder, in this paper, solvent-free CaCO3 nanofluids (NFs) were prepared based on surface-functionalized CaCO3 NPs to study the effect on asphalt. Microscopic structures, compositions, and thermal stability were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR), X-ray diffractometer (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM), and thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA), respectively. Results showed that perfect CaCO3 NFs were successfully prepared, and were good enough for asphalt mixing due to their excellent thermal stability. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), conventional tests, dynamic shear rheometry (DSR), and bending beam rheometry (BBR) were conducted to investigate the modifying effect. The SEM results indicated that CaCO3 NFs had better compatibility with asphalt binder than original CaCO3 NPs. Conventional and DSR test results demonstrated that CaCO3 NFs had slight negative effects on high-temperature performance while improving the low-temperature performance of the asphalt binder. The BBR test results confirmed that the modifier addition effectively enhanced asphalt binders’ low-temperature crack resistance performance.
