This research aims to explore the high-temperature and low-temperature performances of lignin–waste engine oil-modified asphalt binder and its mixture. For this research, the lignin with two contents (4%, 6%) and waste engine oil with two contents (3%, 5%) were adopted to modify the control asphalt binder (PG 58-28). The high-temperature rheological properties of the lignin–waste engine oil-modified asphalt binder were investigated by the viscosity obtained by the Brookfield viscometer and the temperature sweep test by the dynamic shear rheometer. The low-temperature rheological property of the lignin–waste engine oil-modified asphalt binder was evaluated by the stiffness and m-value at two different temperatures (−18 °C, −12 °C) obtained by the bending beam rheometer. The high-temperature and the low-temperature performances of the lignin–waste engine oil-modified asphalt mixture were explored by the rutting test and low-temperature bending beam test. The results displayed that the rotational viscosity and rutting factor improved with the addition of lignin and decreased with the incorporation of waste engine oil. Adding the lignin into the control asphalt binder enhanced the elastic component while adding the waste engine oil lowered the elastic component of the asphalt binder. The stiffness of asphalt binder LO60 could not meet the requirement in the specification, but the waste engine oil made it reach the requirement based on the bending beam rheometer test. The waste engine oil could enhance the low-temperature performance. The dynamic stabilities of LO40- and LO60-modified asphalt mixture increased by about 9.05% and 17.41%, compared to the control mixture, respectively. The maximum tensile strain of LO45 and LO65 increased by 16.39% and 25.28% compared to that of LO40 and LO60, respectively. The high- and low-temperature performances of the lignin–waste engine oil-modified asphalt LO65 was higher than that of the control asphalt. The dynamic stability had a good linear relationship with viscosity, the rutting factor of the unaged at 58 °C, and the rutting factor of the aged at 58 °C, while the maximum tensile strain had a good linear relationship with m-value at −18 °C. This research provides a theoretical basis for the further applications of lignin–waste engine oil-modified asphalt.

Engineers have been using modified binders to improve the quality of flexible pavements. The use of waste material is one of the solutions taken in this direction. It is for this ground that the studies emphasis on the evaluation of waste engine oil as a modifier for asphalt binder as a pavement material. In the study uses four samples extracted from 80/100 penetration grade bitumen. From four sample first sample was checked for weather requirements of asphalt binder meet or not and the three were modified with different content of engine oil (3,6 and 9%). The behaviors of both unmodified and modified binder were checked for rheological properties. Dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) was used to determine high temperature performance grade (PG) and multiple stress creep recovery tests to determine rutting resistance properties of the binder. PG analysis indicates that both aged and un-aged 3% and 6% modified binder have similar higher PG grade with the unmodified one and 9% modified to have lower PG vale. Jnr3.2 value of modified asphalt binder is lower than unmodified binder indicating that modification had improved the rutting resistance and design traffic load (ESALS). The study shows that it is possible to use waste engine oil-modified binder as a pavement material.

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 research explores the effects of using waste engine oil bottom on physical, rheological properties and composite modification mechanism of SBS-modified asphalt. The SBS asphalt binder was modified by WEOB with different concentrations (2, 4, and 6 wt%). The GC-MS and FTIR spectrometry were conducted to evaluate the chemical compositions of WEOB- and WEOB-modified asphalt. RV, DSR, and BBR were tested to evaluate high- and low-temperature pavement performance. Fluorescence microscope (FM) test, bar thin layer chromatograph (BTLC) test, and AFM test were performed to evaluate the micromorphologies and modification mechanism. The test results showed that a new characteristic peak appeared in the infrared spectrum of the WEOB-modified SBS asphalt, indicating a chemical reaction in the modification process. Incorporation of WEOB improves both the high-temperature and low-temperature properties of the SBS asphalt binder. It was confirmed that with the increase of WEOB concentration, the content of colloid gradually increases, which promotes the swelling and compaction of SBS polymer network structure. Furthermore, WEOB promotes the polarity of SBS and forms graft product MAH-g-SBS with asphalt, thus inhibiting the thermal movement of asphalt molecules. On the contrary, light components have a good correlation with the surface roughness of modified asphalt; the results show that the modified asphalt has good rutting resistance.

The property of asphalt binder plays an important role in the performance of asphalt mixture. The natural rubber additive (NRA) was recommended as a modifier in the preparation of high viscosity asphalt (HVA) binder. Then, the gradation named LASTIKA-13 was adopted to design the high viscosity asphalt mixture (HVAM) according to the orthogonal test analysis and the optimized gradation. The performance of the proposed HVAM was evaluated through a series tests including the permanent deformation at high temperature, moisture stability, low-temperature cracks, and bending fatigue test. The results indicate that the proposed modified asphalt binder shows a comparable property with the conventional modified asphalt binder. The proposed HVAM with the NRA modifier has a superior performance to other conventional mixtures in the temperature susceptibility and resistance to moisture damage. Furthermore, the proposed HVAM was less sensitive to the temperature change and has good performance in terms of resistance to low-temperature cracks, bonding characteristics, and fatigue behaviors.

In this paper, recycled PE was added directly to the asphalt mixture to prepare high modulus asphalt mixture. To study the influence of the dosage and molecular weight of recycled PE on the performance of asphalt mixture, three kinds of recycled PE with different molecular weight and three asphalt binders (Conventional, SBS Modified and PE Modified) were used to prepare eight kinds of asphalt mixture. Various tests, including dynamic modulus, wheel tracking and Lottman test, were conducted to evaluate the performance of them. The results showed that 1) the dynamic modulus of asphalt mixture modified by recycled PE is higher than the normal mixture and mixture prepared with SBS modified asphalt binder; 2) adding recycled PE directly into the asphalt mixture during mixing is more effective than preparing asphalt mixture with PE modified asphalt binder in making high modulus asphalt mixture; 3) the recycled PE used to produce high modulus asphalt mixture should have certain big molecular weight, more than 27,000, and the dosage of recycled PE should be no less than 0.4% of the total weight of asphalt mixture. The performance tests indicted the good high temperature deformation resistance property of asphalt mixture modified by recycled PE.
