[0002] The central plant hot recycling (CPHR) technology of waste asphalt pavement materials, as an environmentally friendly and economical solution, aims to reduce resource consumption and environmental impact by reusing reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP). However, this technology faces an obvious challenge - the limited mixing ratio of old materials. In conventional operations, the mixing ratio of RAP usually does not exceed 30%, mainly because the performance of recycled mixtures with high mixing ratios often fails to meet engineering requirements, especially in terms of low-temperature performance. This action plan advocates strengthening the large mixing ratio, large-scale and high-value utilization of bulk solid waste to promote resource recycling and emission reduction. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop innovative processes and design methods that can not only ensure pavement performance but also increase the mixing ratio of old materials.

[0044] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0045] In the existing technology, one of the main reasons that limits the increase in the mixing rate of old materials is the insufficient preheating temperature of the old materials. According to the "Technical Specifications for Highway Asphalt Pavement Regeneration", the recommended heating temperature range for recycled materials in asphalt mixtures is 110℃~130℃, but in actual construction, affected by various factors such as equipment capacity, energy efficiency and operating conditions, the heating temperature of recycled materials is often difficult to reach the ideal level. The low preheating temperature affects the performance recovery of old asphalt materials, thereby restricting the use ratio of RAP in recycled mixtures.

[0046] In addition, the existing design method of recycled mixtures relies too much on volumetric indicators and lacks sufficient consideration of performance-oriented design. This method ignores the differences in the behavior of recycled mixtures under different temperature conditions, especially that high-temperature performance is usually excessive, while low-temperature performance is often insufficient, which poses a challenge to ensuring the long-term stability and durability of recycled pavement.

[0047] In order to solve these problems, future research and development will focus on optimizing preheating technology and design methods. On the one hand, the preheating temperature of RAP is increased to ensure that the asphalt in the old material can be effectively softened and restore its original adhesion and fluidity. On the other hand, a performance-based design method is developed, focusing on improving the overall performance of recycled mixtures under actual use conditions, especially crack resistance and durability under low temperature conditions. Through these improvement measures, not only can the blending rate of RAP be increased, but also the recycled pavement materials can be ensured to perform well under various climates and traffic loads, thereby promoting the development of green and low-carbon transportation infrastructure.

[0048] Combine the following Figure 1 The invention provides a method for determining the heating temperature of thermally regenerated waste materials, which is designed based on aging and performance balance.

[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, the method for determining the heating temperature of hot recycled waste materials provided by the present invention comprises the following steps:

[0050] S1. Place more than one portion of recycled asphalt materials at different heating temperatures for a preset time.

[0051] Specifically, recycled asphalt materials can be obtained by recycling waste asphalt materials from the road surface, and the obtained recycled asphalt materials are dried. Then, more than one portion of the dried recycled asphalt materials are respectively placed in an oven at different heating temperatures for heating, and the heating time can be 2 hours. It can be understood that the corresponding heating time can also be set according to process requirements.

[0052] S2. Recycle the heated recycled asphalt materials to obtain clean recycled asphalt specimens at different heating temperatures.

[0053] Specifically, a trichloroethylene extraction device can be used to separate the old asphalt on the surface of the heated recycled asphalt materials to obtain a mixture of trichloroethylene and old asphalt. Then, an Abson asphalt recycling device is used to recycle clean recycled asphalt specimens at different heating temperatures from the mixture of trichloroethylene and old asphalt.

[0054] S3. Conduct multiple stress creep recovery tests on the clean recycled asphalt specimens at different heating temperatures respectively, and analyze the test results by the significant F - test method to obtain the upper limit T of the heating design temperature of the recycled asphalt materials. 1 ;

[0055] Specifically, a DSR (Dynamic Shear Rheometer) is used to conduct multiple stress creep recovery tests on the recycled asphalt specimens at different heating temperatures respectively, and the unrecoverable creep compliance J of the recycled asphalt at different heating temperatures is obtained. nr Result.

[0056] Analyze the obtained unrecoverable creep compliance J nr results by the significant F - test method, obtain the temperature corresponding to the significant decrease in the results at different heating temperatures (i.e., significant secondary aging of the old asphalt), and take the heating temperature that is less than this temperature and has the smallest difference from this temperature as the upper limit T of the heating design temperature of the recycled asphalt materials. 1 .

[0057] S4. Use the heated recycled asphalt materials to prepare standard Marshall specimens at different heating temperatures, and conduct high - temperature, low - temperature and fatigue performance tests on the standard Marshall specimens to obtain the lower limit T of the heating design temperature of the recycled asphalt materials. 2 ;

[0058] Specifically, use the recycled asphalt materials heated in step S1, new aggregates, new asphalt and recycling agent to mix and prepare a recycled mixture according to a preset ratio.

[0059] Use the compaction method to form the recycled mixture to obtain standard Marshall specimens at different heating temperatures.

[0060] Standard Marshall specimens at different heating temperatures are tested for high-temperature, low-temperature, and fatigue performance, and the lower limit of the heating design temperature T of the old asphalt mixture is calculated by back-calculation based on the standard limits of high-temperature performance (i.e., rutting dynamic stability index), low-temperature performance (i.e., low-temperature fracture energy index), and fatigue performance (i.e., splitting fatigue life index). 2 .

[0061] S5. Calculate the upper limit T of the heating design temperature of the old asphalt mixture 1 and the lower limit T of the heating design temperature of the old asphalt mixture 2 and take the average value as the heating temperature of the recycled old mixture.

[0062] Specifically, the average value of the upper limit T of the heating design temperature of the old asphalt mixture 1 and the lower limit T of the heating design temperature of the old asphalt mixture 2 is: T mean =(T 1 +T 2 ) / 2.

[0063] In the above step S4, the specific process of calculating the lower limit T of the heating design temperature of the old asphalt mixture by back-calculation based on the standard limits of high-temperature performance, low-temperature performance, and fatigue performance is as follows: 2 :

[0064] S41. Establish a nomograph of the road performance of standard Marshall specimens under the combination of the heating temperature and blending ratio of the old asphalt mixture.

[0065] S42. Based on the design traffic volume, climate environment data, and design structural layer information, obtain the required high-temperature, low-temperature, and fatigue performance indicators.

[0066] S43. Obtain the lower limit T of the heating design temperature of the old asphalt mixture according to the required high-temperature, low-temperature, and fatigue performance indicators 2 .

[0067] To facilitate a clearer and more intuitive understanding of the method for determining the heating temperature of the recycled old mixture provided by the present invention, the following is illustrated by a specific embodiment.

[0068] Taking a first-class highway in Shanxi Province as an example, the application of the method for determining the heating temperature of the recycled old mixture provided by the present invention is specifically introduced.

[0069] In this application case, recycled asphalt pavement materials (RAP materials) from a highway that has been in service for more than 10 years are used, combined with a new type of high-performance SBS modified asphalt and new aggregates, aiming to improve the durability of the pavement. Among them, the new aggregates are subdivided into four grades according to different particle sizes, and the material selection for each grade takes into account its unique mechanical properties:

[0070] The new aggregate with a particle size of 0 - 3 mm is limestone. Such fine particles are suitable for filling voids and enhancing the density of the mixture.

[0071] The new aggregate with a particle size of 3 - 5 mm is also limestone. The particles in this range can provide additional structural stability while maintaining a good gradation.

[0072] The new aggregate with a particle size of 5 - 10 mm is basalt with higher hardness. Such medium-sized particles can significantly increase the compressive strength and wear resistance of the mixture.

[0073] The new aggregate with a particle size of 10 - 15 mm is also basalt. The large-sized basalt can play a role as a skeleton in the mixture, enhancing the stability and bearing capacity of the overall structure.

[0074] The following method is used to prepare high - content plant - mixed hot standard Marshall specimens, and the specific process is as follows:

[0075] S11. Recycle the waste asphalt material from the pavement to obtain asphalt old material. Dry the obtained asphalt old material, and place the dried asphalt old material in an oven at different heating temperatures for heating. The heating time can be set to 2 hours.

[0076] S22. Use a trichloroethylene extraction device to separate the old asphalt on the surface of the heated asphalt old material to obtain a mixture of trichloroethylene and old asphalt; then use an Abson asphalt recovery device to recover clean old asphalt specimens at different heating temperatures from the mixture of trichloroethylene and old asphalt.

[0077] S33. Use DSR to conduct multiple stress creep recovery tests on the old asphalt specimens at different heating temperatures to obtain the non - recoverable creep compliance J of the old asphalt at different heating temperatures. nr Results. Among them, when conducting the multiple stress creep recovery test, the test temperatures are set to 58 °C, 64 °C, 70 °C, and 76 °C.

[0078] For the obtained non - recoverable creep compliance J nr results, conduct a significance F - test method analysis. The analysis results are as Figure 2 shown in Table 1.

[0079] From Figure 2 it can be seen that at the four test temperatures of 58 °C, 64 °C, 70 °C, and 76 °C, when the heating temperature is less than or equal to 160 °C, the non - recoverable creep compliance J of the recycled asphalt in RAP under the stresses of 0.1 kPa and 3.2 kPa nr does not change significantly. However, when the heating temperature is 160 °C - 180 °C, the J of the recycled asphalt in RAP nr0.1 and Jnr3.2 All decreased significantly. Taking the test temperature of 58 °C as an example, compared with the unheated RAP material, the J of the recovered asphalt in the RAP after heating at 180 °C nr0.1 and J nr3.2 decreased by 10.4% and 15.3% respectively. Relevant research shows that the unrecoverable creep compliance J nr of asphalt will decrease after aging. Therefore, it is reasonable to believe that when the heating temperature of the RAP material is less than or equal to 160 °C, increasing the heating temperature of the RAP will not cause secondary aging of the old asphalt, while when the heating temperature reaches 180 °C, a certain degree of secondary aging of the old asphalt occurs.

[0080] Table 1 Calculation results of the test statistic of the F test

[0081]

[0082]

[0083] In Table 1, J nr0.1 represents the average value of the unrecoverable creep compliance J nr values obtained within 10 creep recovery cycles under a stress level of 0.1 kPa, and J nr3.2 represents the average value of the unrecoverable creep compliance J nr values obtained within 10 creep recovery cycles under a stress level of 3.2 kPa; R 0.1 represents the average value of the creep recovery rate R values obtained within 10 creep recovery cycles under a stress level of 0.1 kPa, and R 3.2 represents the average value of the creep recovery rate R values obtained within 10 creep recovery cycles under a stress level of 3.2 kPa.

[0084] It can be seen from Table 1 that at a significance level of 0.05, it can be considered that there are significant differences in the unrecoverable creep compliance J nr of the recovered asphalt in the RAP at six heating temperatures under stresses of 0.1 kPa and 3.2 kPa. At the same time, at a significance level of 0.05, it can be considered that when the heating temperature is less than or equal to 160 °C, there are no significant differences in the recovery rate and the unrecoverable creep compliance J nr of the recovered asphalt in the RAP after heating at different temperatures under stresses of 0.1 kPa and 3.2 kPa. That is, when the heating temperature of the RAP is less than or equal to 160 °C, increasing the heating temperature of the RAP will not cause secondary aging of the old asphalt, but when the heating temperature exceeds the 160 °C threshold and reaches 180 °C, secondary aging of the old asphalt will occur at this heating temperature.

[0085] Therefore, in this embodiment, 160 °C is taken as the upper limit T 1 of the heating design temperature of the old material.

[0086] S44. Obtain standard Marshall specimens at different heating temperatures from the heated asphalt reclaimed materials; test the high-temperature performance, low-temperature performance, and fatigue performance of the standard Marshall specimens with different reclaimed material dosages, as Figure 3 shown, and draw the nomograph of the pavement performance of the standard Marshall specimens; based on the design traffic volume, climate environment data, and the information of the designed structural layer, obtain the performance design target requirements of the standard Marshall specimens.

[0087] Among them, based on the road structural layer, meteorological, and traffic data, the indoor performance target values required for design are:

[0088] In terms of high-temperature performance, the dynamic stability of the prepared standard Marshall specimens should be greater than 5000 times / mm; in terms of low-temperature performance, the low-temperature fracture energy of the prepared standard Marshall specimens should be greater than 1075 KJ / m 2 ; in terms of fatigue performance, the fatigue life of the prepared standard Marshall specimens is greater than or equal to 107913 times.

[0089] The final design combination plan should simultaneously meet the design target requirements of high-temperature performance, low-temperature performance, and fatigue performance. According to the performance design target requirements of the standard Marshall specimens, as Figure 3 shown, find the lower limit T of the reclaimed material heating design temperature corresponding to different reclaimed material dosages in the nomograph 2 .

[0090] As Figure 4 shown, the comprehensive nomographs of high-temperature performance, low-temperature performance, and fatigue performance. It can be seen that the combinations with better high-temperature performance are mainly distributed in the upper right part of the image of the reclaimed material heating temperature under different reclaimed material dosages; the combinations with better low-temperature performance are mainly distributed in the lower left area and the upper right corner area of the image of the reclaimed material heating temperature under different reclaimed material dosages; the combinations with better fatigue performance are mainly distributed in the upper right corner area of the image of the reclaimed material heating temperature under different reclaimed material dosages. Among them, the abscissa of the image of the reclaimed material heating temperature under different reclaimed material dosages represents the reclaimed material dosage, and the ordinate represents the reclaimed material heating temperature.

[0091] It is not difficult to see that it is completely possible to Figure 4 select an area with the best comprehensive performance in the image of the reclaimed material heating temperature under different reclaimed material dosages shown. The implementation method is high-temperature heating regeneration of the reclaimed material. In this area, the reclaimed material heating temperature reaches 150 - 160 °C, the reclaimed material blending ratio can reach 70% - 80%, and the performances in terms of high-temperature performance, low-temperature performance, and fatigue performance all reach good levels, realizing the improvement of the performance of the prepared standard Marshall specimens and the balance between performance and reclaimed material dosage.

[0092] Therefore, in this embodiment, the lower limit T of the reclaimed material heating design temperature corresponding to 80% reclaimed material dosage2 is 150 °C.

[0093] S55. Calculate the average value T of the upper limit and the lower limit of the designed heating temperature of the recycled materials mean :

[0094] T mean = (T 1 + T 2 ) / 2,

[0095] and use the average value T mean as the heating temperature of the recycled hot mix materials.

[0096] In this embodiment, at an old material content of 80%, the upper limit T of the designed heating temperature of the recycled materials that can ensure no secondary aging of the old asphalt 1 is 160 °C, and the lower limit T of the designed heating temperature of the recycled materials that can meet the high-temperature performance, low-temperature performance, and fatigue performance 2 is 150 °C. Therefore, in this embodiment, the optimal heating temperature of the recycled hot mix materials is (150 + 160) / 2 = 155 °C.

[0097] It can be seen from the above embodiments that by using the method for determining the heating temperature of recycled hot mix materials based on the balance between aging and performance proposed in the present invention, the problem of secondary aging of old asphalt can be effectively prevented, and at the same time, the technical problem that the road performance of plant-mixed hot recycled asphalt mixtures with a high old material content is difficult to meet the specification requirements can be solved, providing a theoretical support for improving the effective utilization of old materials.

[0098] In an exemplary embodiment, as Figure 5 shown, based on the method for determining the heating temperature of recycled hot mix materials provided by the present invention, the present invention also provides a system for determining the heating temperature of recycled hot mix materials, which includes a heating device 10, a recycling device 20, a test and analysis device 30, a testing device 40, and a calculation device 50.

[0099] The heating device 10 is used to heat the asphalt recycled materials at different heating temperatures for a preset time;

[0100] The recycling device 20 is used to recycle the heated asphalt recycled materials to obtain clean old asphalt specimens at different heating temperatures;

[0101] The test and analysis device 30 is used to conduct a multi-stress creep and recovery test on the clean old asphalt specimens at different heating temperatures, and analyze the test results by the significance F-test method to obtain the upper limit T of the designed heating temperature of the asphalt recycled materials 1 ;

[0102] A testing device 40 is used to obtain standard Marshall specimens at different heating temperatures from the recycled asphalt mixture after heating, and conduct high-temperature, low-temperature, and fatigue performance tests on the standard Marshall specimens to obtain the lower limit T of the heating design temperature of the recycled asphalt mixture. 2 ;

[0103] A calculation device 50 is used to calculate the upper limit T of the heating design temperature of the recycled asphalt mixture 1 and the lower limit T of the heating design temperature of the recycled asphalt mixture 2 and take the average value as the heating temperature of the recycled asphalt mixture.

[0104] It should be noted that the system for determining the heating temperature of the recycled asphalt mixture provided in the above embodiment and the embodiment of the method for determining the heating temperature of the recycled asphalt mixture belong to the same concept.
