Non-isothermal low-temperature reversible aging of commercial wax-based warm mix asphalts

Qiu Yanjun et al.

Summary: This study investigates the influence of wax-based warm additive on low-temperature reversible aging of asphalt binders under non-isothermal conditioning. Tests including simplified extended bending beam rheometer (Ex-BBR), non-isothermal rheological analysis, and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were conducted on asphalt binders containing different commercial wax modifiers. The results show that all commercial waxes accelerate the physical hardening of unaged asphalt binders. Oxidative aging has a greater impact on the low-temperature reversible aging properties compared to wax-based warm mix additive. The base asphalt exhibits the highest phase angle value while F-T wax modified asphalt has the lowest value. The crystallizable fraction increases with decreasing cooling rate. The magnitude of Ozawa exponent follows the same order as grade loss for PAV aged sample. However, no clear rule is observed for unaged asphalt binders.

Influence of asphaltene structural parameters on solubility

Ronald Nguele et al.

Summary: This paper investigates the influence of asphaltene's structural parameters, including aromatic sheet diameter and aromaticity, on its solubility. The results show that aromatic sheet diameter increases with aromaticity and is inversely proportional to hydrogen bonding capability. In terms of dispersant polarity, 7C-7C interactions dominate and contribute to better asphaltene stability, while nonpolar precipitants exhibit the opposite trend. The study suggests the use of polar inhibitors to inhibit the aggregation of asphaltene with large aromatic sheet diameter.

Haibo Ding et al.

Summary: This study focuses on the separation of crystalline wax from asphalt binder to improve the low temperature performance of asphalt pavement. The optimal eluted solvents were determined by solubility parameters, and a reduced pressure column chromatography method was developed. The experiments showed improved efficiency and accuracy, with higher repeatability and recovery of saturates and aromatics. The molecular structures of the wax fraction were determined using various analysis methods, providing a compositional mechanism explanation for the physical hardening of the asphalt binder at low temperatures.

Marziyeh Salehzadeh et al.

Summary: This research provides extensive analysis on the structure of asphaltenes extracted from different oils, with a focus on their stability. The results showed that heavy oil asphaltenes and the most soluble subfraction have higher hydrogen content and hydrogen/carbon atomic ratio, and lower aromatic nature and olefinic entities. Furthermore, the molecular structure of heavy oil asphaltenes and the most soluble subfraction also exhibited differences.

Direct Observation of Crystalline Wax in Asphalt Binders by Variable-Temperature Polarizing Microscope

Haibo Ding et al.

Summary: This paper investigates the influence of crystalline wax on the low-temperature performance of asphalt pavement and the composition of phase separation at the microscopic scale. It is demonstrated that the reflected polarization system of a microscope is the best method to observe the morphology of crystalline wax. The study validates the components of phase separation and shows that aging increases intermolecular force and solubility of wax in the asphalt binder. Additionally, low temperature reduces the solubility of wax in the asphalt binder, leading to the formation of crystalline wax, which explains the physical aging of the asphalt binder at low temperature.

Thermoreversible aging in model asphalt binders

Haibo Ding et al.

Summary: This research focuses on the impact of different pure waxes in asphalt binders on thermoreversible aging, finding that eicosane improves low-temperature performance but exacerbates thermoreversible aging. The branching of straight-chain hydrocarbons can enhance low-temperature performance without worsening thermoreversible aging. Limiting phase angle temperature is more sensitive to C30 and squalane additives.

Summary: The cracking resistance of asphalt binder is crucial for the durability of asphalt pavements and wax-based warm mix additives aim to enhance this property. Different types of wax additives have varying effects on the cracking resistance, with long-chain molecules improving high-temperature performance and short-chain molecules enhancing ductile fracture resistance. The recommended optimum carbon number range for wax-based additives is C-40 to C-60, determined through a combination of microscopic and macroscopic testing methods.
