Properties of Emulsification and Recycling of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement in Room Temperature

Abstract:

In the existing technology of cold asphalt pavement recycling, it is only the aggregate that is used again after the crushing and screening of the Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP), but the asphalt is discarded. So a lot of asphalt resource is wasted. The technology of emulsification and recycling of RAP in room temperature reuses the aged asphalt in the RAP thereby effectively reducing the quantity of newly added asphalt and also improving the performance of the mixture. The application of this technology will save a lot of valuable resources, reduce material costs and save project investments. The technology also contributes to the practice of “resource-saving and environmental-friendliness” in road construction.
