Abstract

The study investigated the effects of laboratory ageing on the fluxed and water-foamed asphalt binders in scope of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic measurements of ageing indicators and changes in their chemical composition. The investigated binders included two paving grades, two polymer modified asphalt binders, and a highly modified asphalt binder. The bio-flux additive was produced from rapeseed methyl esters in an oxidation reaction in the presence of a metal catalyst and organic peroxide. The use of the bio-origin additive, in particular oil derivatives, was aimed at softening and better foaming of asphalt binders. This modification is possible due to the good mixability of vegetable oils with an asphalt binder, which gives a homogeneous product with reduced stiffness. The study involved the rolling thin film oven, short-term, and the pressure ageing vessel, long term, and ageing to induce oxidation on the evaluated asphalt binders. The addition of the bio-flux additive has significantly decreased the measured content of ketone compounds related to oxidation in both non-aged and aged asphalt binders, although this effect after ageing were far smaller in magnitude. Additionally, both ageing processes decreased significantly the absorbances in the ester spectral bands specific to the bio-flux additive. All mentioned effects were similar in magnitude in all tested asphalt binders.
