“…The use of vacuum distilled residues from the re-refining of used motor oils as a blend stock in paving grade bitumen has occurred in isolated markets in North America for more than 30 years. Published information discussing the potential benefits of the product are more recent (Herrington, 1992) (Hayner, 1999) (Villanueva A., 2008). Within the last three years, the increasing need for low stiffness bitumen for use in bituminous mixtures with ever increasing amounts of RAP and RAS (Reclaimed Asphalt Shingles) has created a growing market for this low cost residual byproduct.…”

The use of vacuum distilled residues from the re-refining of used motor oils as blend stock in paving grade bitumen has occurred in isolated markets in North America for more than 30 years. Recently in the United States the increasing need for low stiffness bitumen for use in high binder replacement mixtures, coupled with economic considerations, has led to an expanding market for these products. Little in-depth investigation into the long-term impact of these additives on mixture performance has taken place until recently. Conflicting studies from researchers in Canada and private organizations have been published. Here, we review the eight-year performance of four virgin mixture test sections placed on a county highway Minnesota. Three test sections used PG 58-28 bitumens from different crude sources, one of which contained approximately 8% of the re-refined engine oil residuum. The fourth utilized PG 58-34 polymer-modified bitumen. Pavement distress surveys were conducted over the eight year period. Tests of the original bitumen following extended laboratory aging were conducted. Properties of the recovered bitumen from eight-year-old field cores were correlated to pavement distress. Double Edge Notched Tension (DENT) tests were conducted on 20-and 40-hour PAV residues of the original bitumen. Iatroscan and extensive rheological testing were conducted on laboratory aged bitumen and on bitumen recovered from laboratory aged mixtures and field cores to determine the colloidal index, rheological index and the extent to which laboratory aged and recovered bitumen materials were m-controlled. Also evaluated were three test sections constructed at the Minnesota DOT MnROAD test site. A comparative study of and PG 58-40 (PMA +re-refined engine oil bottoms) were evaluated over eight years. Bitumen used on the projects was tested as described above. The PG 58-40 exhibited the worst performance. The results of binder evaluations correlated to the fatigue cracking observed in the field with the test sections containing the re-refined engine oil residuum exhibiting the most extensive fatigue cracking. Based on this investigation we provide recommendations for test criteria to identify bitumens that could increase an asphalt mixture's likelihood to exhibit poor durability and fatigue cracking performance.

“…The typical value of mixing was found to be around 160C due to the presence of the stiff aged binder. [30] The mixing temperature is 160C with 1 hour time of mixing and mixing speed 500 rpm. Borhan et al, [31] The mixing temperature, time of mixing and mixing speed was not stated.…”

Road construction necessitates a high amount of bitumen, which is a non-renewable material. The usage of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) can be seen as a sustainable option, which offers economic benefits and conservation of natural resources. However, the high stiffness offered by RAP which leads to cracking has impelled the application of rejuvenator. The exploration of waste oil as the rejuvenator has gained the interest but they still lack of the information. This paper aims to highlight previous research works conducted on the waste oil application in the pavement materials. Large amount of waste product from the automotive industry and by-product of frying can impose adverse impact if not disposed properly. The properties of two types of waste oil namely waste engine oil (WEO) and waste cooking oil (WCO) were reviewed. Additionally, method incorporating waste oil in pavement materials, effects to the binder and mixture performance also included. It was observed that the effects of WEO and WCO are commonly produced both of the adverse and good effects to the pavement. The temperature, amount of waste oil and RAP are notable to give significant influence on the performance properties.

“…They found that the addition of WEO is beneficial to prevent asphalt aging and improving fatigue performance, but WEO has a negative effect on the rutting resistance of asphalt. Villanueva et al [8] prepared the modified asphalt with used lubricating oil (or engine oil). They found that used lubricating oil improves the anti-cracking performance at low-temperatures and reduces the quality loss of asphalt after rolling thin film oven test (RTFOT).…”

The Effect of Waste Engine Oil and Waste Polyethylene on UV Aging Resistance of Asphalt

et al. 2020

Waste engine oil (WEO) and waste polyethylene (WPE) are two common wastes, which are easy to pollute the environment. As the primary material in road construction, natural asphalt is a non-renewable energy source and asphalt is vulnerable to ultraviolet (UV) radiation during the service life. It results in degradation of asphalt pavement performance. In this paper, 2 wt % to 8 wt % of WEO and WPE were used to modify asphalts and the UV aging simulation experiment was carried out. The physical parameters of asphalts before the UV aging experiment show that the asphalt containing 4 wt % WPE and 6 wt % WEO mixture (4 wt % WPE + 6 wt % WEO) has similar physical properties with that of the matrix asphalt. Besides, gel permeation chromatography (GPC) verifies that the molecular weight distribution of the asphalt containing 4 wt % WPE + 6 wt % WEO is close to that of the matrix asphalt. The storage stability test shows that 4 wt % WPE + 6 wt % WEO has good compatibility with the matrix asphalt. The functional groups and micro-morphology of asphalts before and after the UV aging experiment were investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). FTIR results display that 4 wt % WPE + 6 wt % WEO can effectively reduce the formation of carbonyl and sulfoxide functional groups. AFM shows that 4 wt % WPE + 6 wt % WEO can also retard the formation of a "bee-like" structure in asphalt after the UV aging experiment. Based on the above results, it can be concluded that WEO and WPE mixture can replace part of asphalt and improve the UV aging resistance of asphalt.
