The previous studies on asphalt mix and asphalt with waste engine oil addition indicate the possibility of using this type of waste material for the construction of road pavements. The research presented in this paper aimed at the preliminary assessment of possible waste engine oil (WEO) addition to the asphalts foamed with water-soaked zeolites. In this research, synthetic zeolite Na-P1 and natural clinoptilolite were used. In order to improve the foaming effect, the zeolites were soaked with water before dispensing to the asphalt, in the amount of 75% asphalt weight for Na-P1 and 25% for clinoptilolite. The tests were performed for one type of waste engine oil—5W40 and two type of binders: 20/30 and polymer modified 25/55-60. The asphalt parameters such as the dynamic viscosity, penetration and softening point were determined with the addition of WEO and zeolites in the concentration of 0%, 3%, 5%, 7% for both materials. It was found that the WEO addition lowers the viscosity and softening point of asphalt but increases penetration. The zeolite addition affected the change of these parameters to a minor extent or was statistically irrelevant. The chemical analysis of the asphalt samples with WEO addition performed with the X-ray Fluorescence method did not show a significant amount of heavy metals which would increase the probability of low-temperature cracking. The analysis of the results indicates the possibility of using zeolite-foamed asphalt technology with WEO addition.

Aged Binder

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%.

Age hardening of bitumen is one of the factors affecting the durability of asphaltic concrete pavements. As the bitumen ages, its viscosity increases and it becomes more stiff and brittle. Recycling agents have been used to restore or soften the aged bitumen properties to a consistency level appropriate for use in the recycling process of deteriorated pavements. This paper details a study on the use of Waste Engine Oil (WEO) from vehicles as a recycling agent for aged bitumen. The study focused on the rheological properties evaluation of virgin bitumen, aged bitumen and blended bitumen (50% of fresh bitumen + 50% of aged bitumen) mixed with waste engine oil as additive (with 0%, 3%, 6% and 9%). The aged bitumen was prepared through the process of Rolled Thin Oven Test (RTFOT) and Pressure Aging Vessel (PAV) test to simulate the aging process. The virgin bitumen, the aged bitumen, and the blended bitumen mixed with various proportions of WEO were then tested to determine their physical characteristics. Penetration, softening point, viscosity and dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) tests were conducted in order to determine rheological properties of the bitumen samples prepared. The penetration value of blended bitumen added with WEO increased with the addition of WEO. The softening point decrease with the percentage increased in WEO of the blended bitumen. The viscosity for the blended bitumen added with WEO decreases with the increase in the percentage of WEO added. The DSR results showed that the increase in the amount of WEO in blended bitumen decrease the G*/sin δ parameter. For the particular bitumen and WEO used, the optimum percentage of WEO is 6% by the total weight of bitumen as it complies with the Public Works Department of Malaysia’s specification requirements. This study suggests that WEO has ability to counteract the stiffening of aged bitumen and restore the aged bitumen to that of virgin bitumen. As the composition and performance of bitumen and WEO may be different from those used in this study, it is recommended that a detailed evaluation is carried out for the bitumen and WEO to be used in asphalt recycling.

Unmodified Sample

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 gradually exhausting crude oil reserves worldwide have made experts in the building industry to explore alternative resources for road construction materials. This study was designed to evaluate the potential applications of engine oil wastes as a bitumen modifier. The Waste Engine Oil (WEO) was obtained from an auto mechanic workshop. The base bitumen was replaced with WEO at 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10% respectively. The WEO modified bitumen properties which included penetration, softening point, flash point, solubility, specific gravity and viscosity were measured in accordance to ASTM standard procedures for a period of 5 days. From the results obtained it was observed that as the replacement level of the WEO increased, there was decrease in the viscosity, specific gravity, flash point and the softening point properties. Incorporating WEO into the base bitumen can at best be acceptable at 2% - 4%.

Hydrophobic Material

A very low-density oil-absorbing hydrophobic material was fabricated from cellulose nanofiber aerogels–coated silane substances. Nanocellulose aerogels (NCA) superabsorbents were prepared by freeze drying cellulose nanofibril dispersions at 0.2%, 0.5%, 0.8%, 1.0%, and 1.5% w/w. The NCA were hydrophobically modified with methyltrimethoxysilane. The surface morphology and wettability were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and static contact angle. The aerogels displayed an ultralow density (2.0–16.7 mg·cm-3), high porosity (99.9%–98.9%), and superhydrophobicity as evidenced by the contact angle of ~150° that enabled the aerogels to effectively absorb oil from an oil/water mixture. The absorption capacities of hydrophobic nanocellulose aerogels for waste engine oil and olive oil could be up to 140 g·g-1 and 179.1 g·g-1, respectively.

ABSTRACTThe Scottish Hydrometric Network consists of a number of river gauging stations which have been located at sites considered suitable to provide long term flow records. Economic recession has placed some stress on the gauging programme, and has given rise to extensive closures of gauging stations in England and, to a minor extent so far, in Scotland. The way in which the network became established provides a mixture of strengths and weaknesses which could have unpredictable consequences in an adverse economic climate. Changing technology provides some opportunity to reduce the cost of data acquisition and improve the deployment of manpower, while maintaining data standards. In these changing circumstances, particularly with extensive use of computer systems, it is important that standards are established for data returned to the Water Archive and that the network is not allowed to degenerate by default.
