| Abstract | One of the objectives of the circular economy is solving the world's plastic pollution crisis and recycling of materials by ensuring less waste. The motivation of this study was to demonstrate the possibility of recycling two types of wastes with a high risk of pollution, such as plastic based polypropylene and abrasive blasting grit wastes in asphalt roads. The effects of adding together polypropylene based microplastics and grit waste in asphalt mixture for wear layer performance have been shown in this study. The morphology and elemental composition of the hot asphalt mixture samples before and after freeze-thaw cycle were examined by SEM-EDX and the performance of the modified asphalt mixture was determined with laboratory tests including Marshall stability, flow rate, solid-liquid report, apparent density, and water absorption. A hot asphalt mixture suitable for making wear layer in road construction, containing aggregates, filler, bitumen, abrasive blasting grit waste and polypropylene based microplastics is also disclosed. In the recipe of modified hot asphalt mixtures were added 3 proportions of polypropylene-based microplastics such as 0.1%, 0.3% and 0.6%. An improvement of the mixture performance is shown at the asphalt mixture sample with 0.3% of polypropylene. In addition, polypropylene-based microplastics are bond with aggregates from mixture well, so the polypropylene-modified hot asphalt mixture can effectively decrease the appearance of cracks during sudden temperature changes. |
