Definitions

  • the invention relates to reclaimed asphalt compositions and rejuvenation thereof.
  • Reclaimed asphalt includes reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP), reclaimed asphalt shingles (RAS), asphalt reclaimed from plant waste, and asphalt recovered from roofing felt, among other sources.
  • RAP reclaimed asphalt pavement
  • RAS reclaimed asphalt shingles
  • asphalt reclaimed from plant waste asphalt recovered from roofing felt, among other sources.
  • Asphalt pavement is one of the most recycled materials in the world, finding uses in shoulders of paved surfaces and bridge abutments, as gravel substitutes on unpaved roads, and as a replacement for virgin aggregate and binder in asphalt pavements.
  • Recycled asphalt pavement is typically limited, however, to use as sub-surface "black rock” or in limited amounts in asphalt base and surface layers.
  • the usefulness of recycled material in the critical surface layers is limited because asphalt deteriorates with time; it loses flexibility, becomes oxidized and brittle, and tends to crack, particularly under stress or at low temperatures.
  • the effects are due to aging of the organic component of the asphalt, i.e., the bitumen-containing binder, particularly upon exposure to weather.
  • the oxidized binder is also highly viscous.
  • Untreated RAP can be used only sparingly; generally, an asphalt mixture comprising up to 30 wt.% of RAP can be used as sub-surface black rock. Moreover, because of the higher demands of the pavement surface, untreated RAP use there is generally limited to 15-25%.
  • Reclaimed asphalt can be blended with virgin asphalt, virgin binder, or both (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 4,549,834).
  • Rejuvenating agents have been developed to increase the amount of reclaimed asphalt that can be incorporated in both the base and surface layers.
  • Rejuvenating agents restore a portion of the asphalt paving properties and binder bitumen physical properties, such as viscoelastic behavior, so that the reclaimed asphalt properties more closely resemble those of virgin asphalt. Improving the properties of recycled asphalt, and particularly the properties of bitumen binder in RAP, allows increased amounts of RAP to be used in asphalt mixtures without compromising the properties and lifetime of the final pavement.
  • Rejuvenating agents of plant origin have also been described. See, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 7,81 1 ,372 (rejuvenating agents comprising bitumen and palm oil); U.S. Pat. No. 7,008,670 (soybean oil, alkyl esters from soybean oil, and terpenes used for sealing or rejuvenating); U.S. Pat. Appl. Publ . No. 2010/0034586 (rejuvenating agent based on soybean, sunflower, rapeseed, or other plant-derived oils); and U.S. Pat. Appl. Publ. No. 2008/0041276 (plasticizers for recycled asphalt that may be vegetable oils or alkyl esters made from vegetable oils). U.S. Pat. Appl.
  • Publ. No. 201 1 /0015312 describes a binder composition comprising a resin of vegetable origin, a vegetable oil, and a polymer having anhydride, carboxylic acid, or epoxide functionality, but this binder is not specifically taught for rejuvenation.
  • rejuvenating agents derived from cashew nut shell oil which contain mostly cardanol, a phenolic compound having a Ci 5 unsaturated chain (see, e.g., PCT Internat. Publ. Nos. WO 2010/077141 and WO 2010/1 10651 ).
  • Such products are available commercially from Ventraco Chemie, B.V., such as RheoFalt® HP-EM.
  • Esters made from tall oil fatty acid (TOFA), tall oil rosin, tall oil pitch, or downstream products of CTO, such as Monomer acid (a unique product described, e.g., in U.S. Pat. No. 7,256,162), dimer acids, or the like, are not suggested for use as rejuvenating agents for reclaimed asphalt.
  • Improved rejuvenating agents for reclaimed asphalt are needed.
  • the industry needs non-crystalline additives for reclaimed asphalt that can improve low- temperature cracking resistance and fatigue cracking resistance while maintaining good rutting resistance. Better rejuvenating agents would reduce the cost of road construction by enabling greater use of RAP in new pavements and reducing reliance on virgin, non-renewable binder and aggregate materials.
  • a preferred rejuvenating agent would reduce the binder viscosity to a level comparable to that of virgin binder and would also lower the glass-transition temperature of the binder to allow for softer, more easily processed asphalt mixtures.
  • the rejuvenating agent would derive from renewable resources, would have good thermal stability at the elevated temperatures normally used to mix and lay asphalt, and could restore the original performance grading to the binder.
  • our invention relates to an asphalt composition
  • an asphalt composition comprising reclaimed asphalt and an ester-functional rejuvenating agent.
  • the reclaimed asphalt comprises aggregate and an oxidized binder.
  • the rejuvenating agent is present in an amount effective to reduce the glass-transition onset temperature of the oxidized binder by at least 5°C compared with the glass-transition onset temperature of the oxidized binder without the rejuvenating agent.
  • Our invention includes binder compositions suitable for use with reclaimed asphalt and methods for making the inventive asphalt and binder compositions.
  • our invention relates to an asphalt composition
  • an asphalt composition comprising 0.01 to 10 wt.% of a rosin ester and at least 15 wt.% of reclaimed asphalt.
  • the rosin ester is a reaction product of tall oil rosin or a tall oil and a polyol selected from diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, glycerol, pentaerythritol, and mixtures thereof.
  • Our invention includes a method which comprises rejuvenating reclaimed asphalt by mixing it with 0.01 to 10 wt.% of a tall oil ester, a rosin ester, or mixtures thereof.
  • the invention relates to an asphalt composition
  • an ester-functional rejuvenating agent and at least 15 wt.% of reclaimed asphalt comprising oxidized binder.
  • the rejuvenating agent is present in an amount within the range of 1 to 10 wt.% based on the combined amounts of oxidized binder and rejuvenating agent.
  • the oxidized binder and rejuvenating agent mixture form a rejuvenated binder with a ring and ball softening point, by EN 1427, less than 60°C and a penetration value, by EN 1426, greater than 20 dmm.
  • Our invention also includes paved surfaces comprising the inventive binders and asphalt compositions.
  • binders When rejuvenated binders are formed with up to 10 wt.% of the rejuvenating agent, such binders also have good elevated temperature performance, which relates to rutting avoidance. Rutting is a common failure mode for asphalt road surfaces, particularly those that experience high traffic rates or high weight traffic.
  • rejuvenating agents restore desirable softening at low dosage while also maintaining acceptable penetration values.
  • the rejuvenating agents are valuable for reducing the temperature needed to compact or mix asphalt compositions, which conserves energy and reduces cost.
  • Certain of our rejuvenating agents improve the temperature sensitivity of the rejuvenated binder, so it can be used in hot mix asphalt processes. Reduced temperature sensitivity is an advantage over conventional additives such as vegetable oil, which can degrade at hot mix temperatures of over 150°C.
  • the inventive binders have good ductility, and they lose properties upon aging only sparingly, similar to virgin binder.
  • the rejuvenating agents of our invention allow use of higher levels of recovered asphalt in asphalt mixtures, by reducing the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the binder, thereby improving the processability of the recovered asphalt. Incorporating more recovered asphalt in roads lowers costs of both binder and aggregate and helps the road construction industry reduce its reliance on virgin, nonrenewable materials.

Moreover, the minimum temperature at which viscosity is suitable for mixing ( ⁇ 200 mPa-s) can also be reduced by as much as 20°C.
  • DSR dynamic shear rheometry
  • the complex modulus (G * ) of the rejuvenated binder measured at -10°C should be less than or equal to the value for virgin binder.
  • G * at -10°C is ideally at or below 2.8 x 10 8 Pa (see Table 1 1 ).
  • Oxidized binder is not dramatically different from virgin binder in this property, and the low-temperature criteria is satisfied with 1 wt.% of EG Monomerate or TMP tallate (but see results with Sylvatac ® RE55, which does not improve this parameter even at 10 wt.%).
  • the complex modulus of the rejuvenated binder should be less than or equal to the value for virgin binder.
  • G * at 20°C is ideally at or below 6.0 x 10 6 Pa. This stiffness criteria can be satisfied with about 4 wt.% of EG Monomerate or TMP tallate (Table 1 1 ). Again, Sylvatac ® RE55 does not improve this property at 10 wt.%.
  • Fatigue criteria also relates to ambient temperature performance.
  • the product of the complex modulus (G * ) and the sine of the phase angle ( ⁇ ) measured at 10 rad/s is determined.
  • the temperature at which the value of G * sin ⁇ at 10 rad/s equals 5000 MPa should be less than or equal to 20°C for rejuvenated binders comparable to 35/50 grade virgin binder.
  • the fatigue criteria can be met when at least about 4 wt.% of EG Monomerate or TMP tallate is used, while Sylvatac ® RE55 shows no improvement relative to oxidized binder.
  • the quotient G7sin ⁇ is of interest.
  • the temperature at which the value of G7sin ⁇ at 10 rad/s equals 1000 Pa should be reduced for rejuvenated binders compared with that of aged binder.
  • the temperature at which G7sin ⁇ at 10 rad/s equals 1000 Pa is about 70°C (see Table 12).
  • the high-temperature criteria is generally satisfied with up to about 10 wt.% of ester-functional rejuvenating agent.
  • oxidized binders and virgin binders have fatigue characteristics that are relatively insensitive to temperature, most of the rejuvenating agents tend to make the rejuvenated binder more temperature sensitive. Ideally, the rejuvenated binder would behave more like virgin binder, i.e., it would preferably be less sensitive to temperature.
  • rejuvenated binders containing cyclic compounds such as rosin esters, rosin acids, or their mixtures have fatigue properties that are relatively resistant to temperature change, similar to oxidized binder or virgin binder. Because the cyclic compounds usually lack the ability to impart adequate softening, however, it is preferred to combine them with other rejuvenating agents, such as fatty esters or vegetable oils. Thus, the use of rosin esters, rosin acids, or their mixtures in combination with other rejuvenators can soften the binder while maintaining a desirably low temperature sensitivity. See Table 14.
  • force ductility relates to the energy needed to stretch a binder sample 200 or 400 mm at a given temperature, and is a measure of strength and flexibility. Lower energies correspond to more flexible samples.
  • Ductility relates to elongation at rupture for a given temperature, typically 5°C (for softer binders) or 15°C. Higher elongations are usually better.
  • TMP tallate, Sylvatac ® RE5 (liquid), and Sylvatac ® RE40 (softening point about 40°C) are compared. Force ductility is measured at three temperatures for each sample. The test method used is AASHTO T-300.
  • the rejuvenating agents restore at least some of the ductility that the virgin binder loses during aging. Comparing the results in Table 15, TMP tallate (5 wt.%) and Sylvatac ® RE5 (10 wt.%) perform better than Sylvatac ® RE5 (5 wt.%), which is better than Sylvatac ® RE40 (5 wt.%). It is helpful to compare the results at a baseline energy level, such as 1 J/cm 2 and ask at what temperature this force ductility value is achieved. As shown in the table, this value is 28°C for aged binder and 17°C for virgin binder. Rejuvenating agent helps the binder rival the targeted value of 17°C.
  • Table 16 provides results of a gyratory compaction study (by EN 12697-31 ) in which 75 wt.% of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) is combined with virgin binder and aggregate, with or without rejuvenating agent.
  • RAP reclaimed asphalt pavement
  • TMP tallate is used at 6 wt.% based on the amount of oxidized binder present in the RAP.
  • the results after 10 gyrations indicate how well mixing is occurring.
  • the void content after 60 or 100 gyrations is also of interest.
  • the compaction study is complete after 200 gyrations. In general, we found that, compared with a control mixture with no RAP, the use of RAP makes it easier to achieve a low void content. Additionally, void content remains desirably low when TMP tallate is included as a rejuvenating agent. ASTM D6925 can also be used.
  • Table 18 compares basic properties of rejuvenated binders before and after aging using first the RTFO test and then the PAV test. In all cases with rejuvenated binder, the cumulative mass loss is about 1 wt.% or less, which is consistent with the results seen using virgin binder. Thus, there is no adverse impact on mass loss when a rejuvenating agent is used.
  • the ring and ball softening point of all of the tested binders increases somewhat.
  • the overall increase (see far right column, ⁇ R&B) is in line with the increase seen with virgin binder.
  • the ester- functional rejuvenating agent does not appear to accelerate short- or long-term aging of the binder.
  • the penetration values are not adversely impacted by aging. If anything, when compared with virgin binder, a higher proportion of the original penetration value of the binder is maintained when the rejuvenating agent is present (compare the Ret. Pen.% values at the far right of Table 18).

Abstract

L'invention porte sur des compositions d'asphalte comprenant de l'asphalte récupéré et un agent de régénération fonctionnel ester. L'invention porte également sur des compositions de liants régénérés. Les agents de régénération rendent à l'asphalte récupéré les propriétés les plus souhaitables de l'asphalte vierge. Des températures de début de transition vitreuse réduites et une rigidité vis-à-vis du cheminement améliorée dans les liants régénérés se traduisent en une résistance à la fissuration à basse température améliorée dans l'asphalte. Les agents de régénération communiquent un ramollissement souhaitable à un faible dosage, tout en maintenant également des valeurs de pénétration acceptables. Des résultats de rhéométrie de cisaillement dynamique démontrent que des critères pour des compositions d'asphalte sous des conditions de température basse, intermédiaire et élevée peuvent être obtenus, et l'asphalte aura une bonne résistance à la fissuration à la fatigue et une prévention du défoncement. Les agents de régénération réduisent la température nécessaire pour compacter ou mélanger des compositions d'asphalte, ce qui économise de l'énergie et réduit les coûts. Les compositions d'asphalte et de liants régénérés permettront une plus grande utilisation d'asphalte récupéré, en particulier de revêtement routier d'asphalte récupéré, et aideront l'industrie de la construction routière à réduire sa dépendance vis-à-vis de matériaux vierges non renouvelables.
