Repurposing recycled walnut shell as an anti-aging agent into asphalt binder: A multi aspect evaluation
Bitumen aging undermines road surface conditions by decreasing resistance to deformation and cracking, both of which eventually shorten the service life of asphalt pavements. Accordingly, the pavement scientific community has been exploring alternate research efforts through investigations of a wide range of biowastes that could serve as cost-saving, environmentally sustainable, and long-term effective anti-aging agents. In line with these efforts, the present study has been dedicated to scrutinizing the effects of incorporating recycled walnut shell as an antioxidant for asphalt binder. To this end, walnut shell powder (WSP) was first added to a straight 50/70 penetration bitumen at various concentrations (2 %, 4 %, 6 %, and 8 % by weight) by means of an ultra-high shear mixer. Next, the bio-binders and base bitumen were exposed to short- and long-term aging. The changes in physical, rheological, and chemical properties were analyzed as a means of comparing and contrasting the aging degree of WSP samples with that of the control binder. Consistency test results showed that adding WSP alleviated the hardening effect of the aging process. In contrast to the plain binder, WSP binders had better anti-aging performance as proven by the lower change in viscoelastic behavior, the decline in the formation of oxygenated products, and the improved resistance to thermal degradation. Decreasing the aging-related hardening and embrittlement, WSP significantly enhanced the bitumen’s fatigue resistance and low-temperature performance. Overall, this study provides insights into the extent to which the inclusion of WSP serves to reduce thermal-oxidative bitumen aging. Specifically, 8 %WSP was found to have the best age-retardation effect as evidenced by its lowest aging indices. Given WSP’s lignocellulosic composition and natural anti-oxidant properties, this study offers a new solution for improving the anti-aging performance of bitumen.
