项目摘要

This PFI: AIR Technology Translation project focuses on translating the science of bio-modified recycled asphalt to fill the need for substitute and supplementary supply for shrinking petroleum-based adhesives. The Bio-modified Recycled Asphalt Shingle (BRAS) is important because it enables the use of scrap shingles, which are otherwise being disposed of in landfills, to be upgraded for use as a supplementary product to asphalt binder. This technology is significant because asphalt supplies are diminishing rapidly since the advent and adaptation of coking technologies by refineries. Accordingly, this PFI project will result in a proof-of-concept for BRAS for use in pavement construction. The newly developed product, BRAS, is low-cost, durable and environmentally friendly, features that improve pavement service life while reducing pavement construction cost and carbon footprint. In addition, the production of BRAS uses products from two waste streams (scrap shingles and animal waste), which also provides a cost-effective waste management solution. Thus, BRAS is superior in terms of cost savings, extended durability, environmental impact and energy savings when compared to the existing products in the construction industry.This project addresses the following technology gaps as it translates from research discovery toward commercial application. The supply of asphalt binder found in scrap shingles are highly oxidized from years of prior service. Oxidation typically disturbs colloidal stability of asphalt structure by converting maltene portions and increasing asphaltene aggregation. Accordingly, this PFI project is using specific molecular species extracted from animal waste to restore asphalt stability and enhance its properties. A multi-scale modeling and characterization followed by experiments and prototyping will be used to develop BRAS with properties similar to that of virgin asphalt binder. The project will involve research scholars and students with mechanical, chemical and material science expertise to undertake this research. Students and scholars involved in the project will receive entrepreneurship training while conducting customer interviews and meetings with potential industry partners to facilitate technology scale-up.

这个PFI：空气技术转化项目专注于转化生物改性再生沥青的科学，以满足收缩的石油基胶粘剂对替代品和补充供应的需求。生物改性再生沥青瓦片(BRAS)很重要，因为它使原本被丢弃在垃圾填埋场的废瓦的使用得以升级，作为沥青粘结剂的补充产品。这项技术意义重大，因为自从炼油厂采用焦化技术以来，沥青供应正在迅速减少。因此，该PFI项目将产生用于路面建设的胸罩的概念验证。新开发的产品BRAS成本低、耐用、环保，其特点是提高了路面使用寿命，同时降低了路面建设成本和碳足迹。此外，文胸的生产使用两种废物(废瓦片和动物粪便)的产品，这也提供了一个具有成本效益的废物管理解决方案。因此，与建筑行业的现有产品相比，胸罩在节省成本、延长耐用性、对环境的影响和节省能源方面具有优势。该项目解决了以下技术差距，将其从研究发现转化为商业应用。在废弃瓦片中发现的沥青粘结剂供应在多年的服务中被高度氧化。氧化通常通过转化马来烯组分和增加沥青质聚集来扰乱沥青结构的胶体稳定性。因此，这个PFI项目正在使用从动物粪便中提取的特定分子物种来恢复沥青稳定性并增强其性能。将使用多尺度建模和表征，然后进行实验和原型，以开发性能类似于原始沥青结合料的BRAS。该项目将邀请研究学者和具有机械、化学和材料科学专业知识的学生进行这项研究。参与该项目的学生和学者将接受创业培训，同时与潜在的行业合作伙伴进行客户访谈和会议，以促进技术放大。
