【 摘 要 】

In order to explore the applicability of waste engine oil and waste cooking oil used in aged asphalt, the effect of waste engine oil and waste cooking oil on aged asphalt recycling was studied through the analysis of the improvement of its physical, chemical, and rheological properties. Six aged asphalt binders with different aging times were obtained by indoor test simulation using the Thin Film Oven Test at 163 °C. Then, waste engine oil and waste cooking oil with five different dosages were added to investigate improvement performances. The results clearly demonstrated that waste engine oil and waste cooking oil could soften and recover the work ability of aged asphalt effectively. Furthermore, the physical, chemical, and rheological performances of six aged asphalts could be improved to normal level of virgin asphalt if the content of waste engine oil or waste cooking oil was suitable. The rheological properties of aged asphalt with waste cooking oil had better improvement than that with waste engine oil. Overall, the good applicability would provide waste oil a much wider service range in asphalt pavement recycling field. It also provided a method of developing new rejuvenating agent with the two waste oils to achieve complex synergism effect. Moreover, it realized the waste cyclic utilization and environmental protection.
