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.

Abstract In road construction, different types of waste oil have been recommended to overcome the stiffening effect of reclaimed asphalt pavement content. However, the selection of an effective rejuvenator based on a comparative study can lead to using the resources more efficiently. In this study, waste cooking oil and waste engine oil are used to rejuvenate three different percentages (30%, 40%, and 50%) of reclaimed asphalt pavement following the current maximum industrial adaptability. The waste oil rejuvenated mixtures are compared to the fresh mixture, and mixtures rejuvenated with commercial rejuvenator. The moisture sensitivity, indirect tensile strength, and resilient modulus of the various asphalt mixtures are analyzed. Based on the statistical analyses and overall ranking, it is concluded that 7% of waste engine oil performs better till 40% of reclaimed asphalt pavement, whereas 13% of waste cooking oil can be used till 50% of reclaimed asphalt pavement.

The use of large proportions of reclaimed asphalt pavement is necessary to meet the increasing demand for road construction materials in a sustainable way. One of the challenges of using a greater percentage of reclaimed asphalt pavement (>30%) is the greater stiffness of mixes incorporating it. While this stiffness problem is usually resolved by using different commercial rejuvenators, there are circumstances in which commercial rejuvenators are not available. Therefore, this study evaluates the potential of using waste engine oil as a substitute for commercial rejuvenators for the higher percentage of reclaimed asphalt pavement that could meet the increasing demand in a more sustainable way. To assess the possibility of using a higher percentage of reclaimed asphalt pavement in road construction, different percentages of reclaimed asphalt pavement (30%, 40%, and 50%) are used. Following the property of the aged binder, three different percentages (7%, 13%, and 20%) of waste engine oil are considered. Each percent of waste engine oil is incorporated with one of the three mixes. The mixes (with the minimum required Marshall criteria) are evaluated for different properties, namely, their indirect tensile strength, resilient modulus, and durability. Finally, those properties are compared to those of the mixes rejuvenated by commercial rejuvenators. It is observed that, for the aforementioned properties, 7% to 13% of waste engine oil is identical to the commercial rejuvenator for the mixes with 30% to 40% of reclaimed asphalt pavement.

The Impact

High demand for asphalt binders in road construction verifies the need of finding alternative materials through asphalt pavement recycling. This paper investigated the impact of different rejuvenators on the performance of an aged asphalt binder. Virgin Olive oil, virgin cooking oil, waste cooking oil, virgin engine oil, and waste engine oil were added to a 30/40 penetration grade aged asphalt binder at a fixed oil content of 4% for all types. The wet method was used to blend the rejuvenators and aged asphalt binder. The physical, rheological, and chemical properties of the rejuvenated asphalt binder were evaluated using several laboratory tests which include penetration, softening point, bleeding, loss on heating, storage stability, penetration index, ductility, viscosity, dynamic shear rheometer, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The outcomes of the physical properties showed that the olive, waste, and virgin cooking rejuvenators can restore the aged asphalt binder to a penetration grade of 60/70. In contrast, the virgin and waste engine oil required a more quantity of oil to rejuvenate the aged asphalt binder. A sufficient amount of rejuvenator could regenerate the (G*/sin δ), (δ°), and (G*) for the aged asphalt binder. The addition of virgin olive and cooking oils in aged asphalt led to a rutting issue. No chemical reactions were observed with the addition of rejuvenators but they give an impact on reducing the oxidation level of the aged asphalt binder. As a result, further research should be performed on waste cooking oil given that it is inexpensive and provides excellent performance results. Doi: 10.28991/cej-2021-03091669 Full Text: PDF

The reduction in natural resources and aspects of environmental protection necessitate alternative uses of waste materials in the area of construction. Recycling is also observed in road construction where mineral–cement emulsion (MCE) mixtures are applied. The MCE mix is a conglomerate that can be used to make the base layer in road pavement structures. MCE mixes contain reclaimed asphalt from old, degraded road surfaces, aggregate improving the gradation, asphalt emulsion, and cement as a binder. The use of these ingredients, especially cement, can cause shrinkage and cracks in road layers. The article presents selected issues related to the problem of cracking in MCE mixtures. The authors of the study focused on reducing the cracking phenomenon in MCE mixes by using an innovative cement binder with recycled materials. The innovative cement binder based on dusty by-products from cement plants also contributes to the optimization of the recycling process in road surfaces. The research was carried out in the field of stiffness, fatigue life, crack resistance, and shrinkage analysis of mineral–cement emulsion mixes. It was found that it was possible to reduce the stiffness and the cracking in MCE mixes. The use of innovative binders will positively affect the durability of road pavements.

Asphalt concrete wearing course is laid on the top of road pavement so that directly exposed to ultra violet light and other environment impact. The higher temperature at the pavement surface and exposure to atmospheric oxygen accelerated aging cause asphalt to stiffen and become brittle. This aging result decrease the binding of asphalt and aggregate leads various damage of pavement. The aged asphalt rejuvenated and recycled with rejuvenating agent has been developed to reduce the use of virgin material for road maintenance. This article aims to review durability of asphalt concrete wearing course using waste cooking oil, epoxy resin, kerosene and waste engine oil as asphalt rejuvenators. Aging asphalt was prepared by heating in an oven at 85 oC for 120 hours (long term oven aging). Durability was assessed from the value of Marshall immersion which represent the resistance of asphalt mixture at water immersion. Relation between Marshall immersion and voids in mix (VIM), voids in the mineral aggregate (VMA), voids filled with bitumen (VFB) and density are also evaluated. From the analysis, it can be concluded that the use of waste cooking oil, epoxy resin, kerosene and waste engine oil as asphalt rejuvenators increase the durability of asphalt mixture containing the aged asphalt.

The addition of modifier, either to replace bitumen or as an additive, could potentially improve the performance of conventional bitumen used in road construction. This study characterizes the physical properties of bitumen 80/100 penetration grade modified with diatomite powder and waste engine oil (WEO). Different percentages of WEO i.e. 1%, 2%, and 3%, were added with 1% diatomite to the bitumen. The conventional and modified bitumen samples were tested for penetration, softening point, viscosity, and loss on heating. Results showed that the increase of WEO content, particularly at 3% in the modified bitumen, has softened the bitumen with lower softening point and higher loss on heating than the unmodified sample. In contrast, the diatomite powder has shown potential in reinforcing the bitumen structure at high temperature based on higher viscosity obtained at 165°C compared to conventional bitumen.

The importance of sustainability in road construction using and renewing the Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) resulting from the reconstruction or periodic maintenance of roads is a challenge that requires the use of regenerative additions to restore the characteristics of the old bitumen in pure rap, in order to improve the performance properties of these renewable mixers. As there are many promising studies in this regard. The objective of this study is to recycle and restore RAP using two types of renovators; Waste Cooking Oil (WCO) and Asphalt Cement (AC (85-100)). Five percentages (1, 1.5, 2, 2.5 and 3) % by weight of both types of renovators were added to the RAP, separately, for the purpose of rejuvenation. Marshall Test was performed on the renovated samples to obtain the optimum percentages, which will be adopted in subsequent tests, which include; indirect tensile strength (ITS), tensile strength Ratio (TSR) and Duple Punch Shear Strength Test (DPSST) to evaluate the performance of rejuvenated RAP mixes and compare them with the original RAP. The outcomes indicated that (1.5 and 2.5) % are the optimal percentages for (WCO and AC (85-100)), respectively. In addition, the results of the performance tests indicated that the renovated RAP mixes are better than the original RAP in terms of stability, temperature susceptibility, stripping resistance and resistance to moisture damage, as well as achieving the specification requirements for the surface course. This indicates that the recycling process is of economic, environmental benefit and industrial sustainability.
