Waste-derived asphalt rejuvenators

Explain how waste tallow, tire pyrolysis oil and bio-based polyurethane modifiers interact with asphalt fractions.

01 / Context

Problem

Explain how waste tallow, tire pyrolysis oil and bio-based polyurethane modifiers interact with asphalt fractions.

02 / Method

Approach

Built waste-tallow molecular models from GC-MS composition and mapped SARA-rejuvenator interactions with radial distribution functions.

03 / Toolkit

Tools & methods

LAMMPSGC-MS interpretationFTIRRadial distribution functions

04 / Result

Outcome

Found the strongest modeled rejuvenator affinity for asphaltenes, followed by aromatics; experimental-computational work continues with Bursa Technical University.
