摘要： A biorejuvenator includes a bio-oil formed from a mixture including a first biomass component and a second biomass component. A nitrogen content of the first biomass component exceeds a nitrogen content of the second biomass component, and a lipid content of the second biomass component exceeds a lipid content of the first biomass component. Preparing the biorejuvenator includes combining a first biomass component and a second biomass component, and co-liquefying the first biomass component and the second biomass component to yield the biorejuvenator. The biorejuvenator can be used as an asphalt modifier in an asphalt composition or as a coating for asphalt pavement.

摘要： A hemp composite includes hemp, paper, and oil. Making a hemp composite includes processing hemp to yield a processed hemp. The processed hemp includes water. Making a hemp composite further includes combining the processed hemp with paper and oil to yield a hemp mixture, removing at least some of the water from the hemp mixture, and drying the hemp mixture to yield the hemp composite.

摘要： Preparing a modified bitumen composition includes combining bitumen with elemental sulfur to yield a mixture, and crystallizing the elemental sulfur on a surface of the bitumen to yield a layer of elemental sulfur on the surface of the bitumen. The mixture typically includes about 5 wt % to about 15 wt % of the elemental sulfur. A modified bitumen composition includes A modified bitumen composition includes bitumen and elemental sulfur on a surface of the bitumen. The modified bitumen composition includes about 5 wt % to about 15 wt % of the elemental sulfur.

摘要： Assessing an interaction between solid particles and a thermoplastic material in which the solid particles are dispersed includes combining a thermoplastic material with a multiplicity of solid particles to yield a heterogeneous mixture, processing the heterogeneous mixture to yield an unconditioned sample, conditioning the unconditioned sample to yield a conditioned sample, subjecting the conditioned sample to a ramping shear rate from an initial shear rate to a final shear rate, assessing a viscosity of the conditioned sample at a plurality of shear rates between the initial shear rate and the final shear rate, and assessing a value of a slope of a shear-thinning region for the unconditioned sample using a power-law equation.

摘要： An asphalt modifier includes bitumen, polyolefin particles, and one or more alkyl terephthalamides. Preparing an asphalt modifier includes combining one or more alkyl terephthalamides, polyolefin particles, and bitumen, and dispersing the polyolefin particles in the bitumen to yield the asphalt modifier. Digesting polyethylene terephthalate includes combining polyethylene terephthalate with an alkylamine or carboxyalkylamine to yield a reaction mixture, and heating the reaction mixture to a temperature between about 20° C. and about 300° C. to yield an alkyl terephthalamide.

摘要： Preparing a microbially desulfurized crumb rubber includes combining microorganisms capable of breaking crosslinked sulfur bonds, sulfur-containing crumb rubber, and a salt solution to yield a mixture; combining a buffer with the mixture to yield a buffered mixture, thereby adjusting a pH of the mixture; providing oxygen to the buffered mixture; incubating the buffered mixture for a length of time to yield a microbially desulfurized mixture; combining the microbially desulfurized mixture with bitumen to yield a precursor; and heating the precursor to yield the microbially desulfurized crumb rubber. The microbially desulfurized crumb rubber can be combined with bitumen to yield a modified bitumen. The modified bitumen can be combined with asphalt to yield a modified asphalt.

摘要： Treating plastic particles for use in concrete includes combining plastic particles with oil to yield a mixture, heating the mixture to yield a heated mixture, cooling the heated mixture to yield a cooled mixture, and removing excess oil from the cooled mixture to yield oil-treated plastic particles (e.g., oil-treated plastic particles for concrete). In one example, the oil is vegetable oil. The vegetable oil can be soybean oil, corn oil, canola oil, safflower oil, peanut oil, olive oil, grape seed oil, cocoa butter, palm oil, rice bran oil, or a combination thereof. The oil can be waste oil (e.g., waste vegetable oil, such as that recovered from restaurants). The plastic particles can be derived from post-consumer plastic, such as recycled plastic. In one example, the post-consumer plastic includes mixed plastics. A concrete composition can include rocks, sand, cement, and the oil-treated plastic particles.
