Abstract

This study elaborates the influence of blends formulated by waste oil (WO) and styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) on thermo-mechanical and chemical compositional characteristics of rejuvenated bitumen. The results show that both WEO (waste engine oil) and WCO (waste cooking oil) can compensate viscous component for reclaimed bitumen, and the effect of WCO is more significant. However, WO-rejuvenated bitumen has considerable drawbacks in terms of temperature susceptibility and flow resistance, but dramatic improvement after being added with SBR has been noticed. Furthermore, the rejuvenation mechanism of WO/SBR blends is revealed by using FTIR tests, which shows that the physical blending mainly determines the rejuvenation mechanism when the WO/SBR blends are used in bitumen. The combination of WO and SBR is beneficial for improving the temperature susceptibility and rutting resistance of rejuvenated bitumen.
