Abstract
The results of research on the development of technological solutions for the production of a new rubber-bitumen binder for asphalt concrete based on the use of industrial waste: used car tires, used car oil and microdispersed aluminosilicate spherical particles obtained from the processing of ash and slag waste (ASW) from thermal power plants are presented. The proposed technological solutions make it possible to obtain high-quality polymer additives for modifying the properties of road bitumen. The elements of novelty of the developed approach include the use, to obtain a granular modifier, of micro-sized hydrophobized aluminosilicate spheres, which are extracted as an additional product during the complex processing of ASW. The positive economic efficiency of technological solutions is ensured by the use of large rubber crumb (more than 8 mm) or rubber chips, their devulcanization together with hydrocarbon fractions of used engine oil and petroleum bitumen at a given temperature to form a gel-like mass, which is further subjected to mechanical grinding in a mill.
