Abstract

In order to resolve the issues related to the recycling of asphalt concrete, this study focuses on the application of pulsed power technology and subcritical water to the recovery of asphalt from asphalt concrete lumps. At the result, the recycled aggregate over 5 mm with asphalt content of approximately 0.99% was produced using pulsed power technology. Furthermore, the application of subcritical water to recover asphalt from the residues of pulsed power discharge inside of asphalt concrete lumps resulted in an about 91% pure asphalt recovery rate and recycled fine aggregate with pure asphalt content of less than 0.5%.
