The article presents the results of testing asphalt samples based on activated mineral powder from silica-containing raw materials. Activated filler was obtained by joint grinding of waste wet magnetic separation (WMS) of ferruginous quartzites of the Kursk Magnetic Anomaly in a spherical planetary mill in the presence of surfactants (stearic acid, adhesive additive Amdor-10) and bitumen. First of all, it should be noted that the use of activated mineral powder in the composition of asphalt concrete mixture led to an increase in the packing density of the composite. This was reflected not only in the technological process, but also contributed to the decrease in the porosity of the mineral core. It was found that the use of surfactants in the process of grinding mineral powder made it possible to increase the strength of asphalt concrete samples. However, the change in the crack resistance and shear resistance of asphalt concrete specimens, determined from the ratio of the corresponding compressive strengths, did not occur (table). This is due to the fact that there has been a proportional change in all the strength characteristics at different temperatures. Analysis of the physical-mechanical characteristics of the properties of asphalt concrete led to the conclusion that it was possible to use activated mineral powder from waste WMS as a component of asphalt concrete mixtures.
