Abstract
The research is devoted to developing the production of crumb rubber-modified bitumen with improved stability. It has been established that the most suitable semi-empirical coefficient for determining the compatible plasticizer to crumb rubber is based on the ratio of paraffin-naphthenic compounds to resinous-asphaltene compounds. With the help of differential scanning calorimetry, temperature regimes of crumb rubber destruction and preparation of rubber-containing components (210 °C) were studied and determined. It was established that determining the dynamic viscosity of hydrocarbon concentrates with crumb rubber on a rotary viscometer is not applicable due to elastic components, making it difficult to measure and obtain reliable data. The most suitable method is the shear viscosity method. Using fluorescent microscopy, it was established that the formation of a branched structure of crumb rubber is achieved in the waste industrial oil, indicating devulcanization processes. It was found that hydrocarbon plasticizer with high naphthenic oil content is the most compatible with crumb rubber. Synthetic wax was found to be of greater interest as a devulcanizing/stabilizing agent, and its application in an amount of 3% allows the formation of a stable CRMB structure and stabilizes the devulcanization process.
