Conventional potassium chloride granules have inefficient applications in agricultural production due to particle irregularity and low fluidity. The application of controlled-release potassium chloride could increase the potassium-use efficiency and...

Lignin is abundant in nature. The use of lignin in the asphalt pavement industry can improve pavement performance while effectively optimizing pavement construction costs. The purpose of this paper is to study the effect of lignin on the anti-aging p...

This research aims to explore the high-temperature and low-temperature performances of lignin–waste engine oil-modified asphalt binder and its mixture. For this research, the lignin with two contents (4%, 6%) and waste engine oil with two conte...

There is a growing trend to promote circular economy practices and reduce petroleum-derived product consumption in the paving sector. In this context, a liquid lignin-rich industrial waste was incorporated at 0% (control), 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% into...

The main objective of this study was to investigate the characteristic properties of lignin-modified bitumen with different lignin contents. The first step was the characterization of the physicochemical and thermal properties of the kraft lignin pow...

Lignin accounts for approximately 30% of the weight of herbaceous biomass. Utilizing lignin in asphalt pavement industry could enhance the performance of pavement while balancing the construction cost. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility of u...

As bitumen oxidizes, material stiffening and embrittlement occur, and bitumen eventually cracks. The use of anti-oxidants, such as lignin, could be used to delay oxidative aging and to extend the lifetime of asphalt pavements. In this study, the chem...

Utilization of alternative asphalt binders and additives from renewable sources, given the scale and the impact of the asphalt pavement industry, is an important step toward a sustainable future for the surface transportation infrastructure. Among se...

Lignin, an abundant and renewable biopolymer, has gained significant attention as a sustainable modifier and building block in polymeric materials. Recent advancements highlight its potential to tailor mechanical, thermal, and barrier properties of p...

Lignin is a major waste product of biofuel and paper industries that can be used as a modifier to improve the relevant properties of asphalt. To investigate the effect of lignin and formic acid lignin wood incorporations into asphalt and the effect o...

Lignin is the natural binder in wood and lignocellulosic plants and is regarded as the main natural and renewable source of phenolic compounds. Its incorporation in the composition of fiberboards will enhance both the environmental performance of the...

This study investigates the feasibility of using Kraft lignin in Hot and Warm Mix Asphalt (HMA and WMA), with a particular focus on its integration alongside Sasobit®. The research aims to evaluate the impact of Kraft lignin and Sasobit, individu...

This study aimed to propose an alternative technological solution for manufacturing fiberboard panels using a modified hot-pressing regime and hydrolysis lignin as the main binder. The main novelty of the research is the optimized adhesive system com...

This study analyzed the viscoelastic properties of asphalt binders reinforced with various fibers, such as modified asphalt binder, modified asphalt binder reinforced with lignin fibers (LFs), polyester fibers (PFs), and polypropylene fibers (PPFs),...

The influence of surface modification on the properties of bagasse fibers and asphalt binders/mixtures was investigated. Bagasse fibers were modified by single, binary, and ternary methods with hydrochloric acid, sodium hydroxide, and sodium chlorite...

Cellulose acetate fiber (CAF), a typical waste product derived from cigarette filters, has attracted growing attention for its potential reuse in asphalt materials. However, its application in porous asphalt (PA) mixtures remains underexplored. This...

The preparation of biological phenolic resin (PF) with green recyclable biomaterials instead of phenol is a research hotspot for solving current resource and environmental problems. In this study, on the basis of introducing lignin into the phenolic...

The performance of asphalt binders and asphalt mixtures can be enhanced by the inclusion of fiber. The viscoelastic characteristics of fiber-reinforced asphalt binders and their corresponding mixtures were characterized in this study. To generate fib...

In recent times, circular economy initiatives in addition to the need for sustainable biomaterials have brought about several attempts at the eco-friendly, eco-sustainable and cost-effective production of asphalt pavements. It is an increasingly comm...

Due to rapid growth of traffic density, the phenomenon of overloading on high-grade highways causes various modes of distresses to the pavement such as rutting, thermal cracking, and water damage. Modification of asphalt mixes is the most common solu...
