Valorization of Agricultural Wastes into Environmentally Sustainable Asphalt Binders.

ABSTRACT: The use of solid products deriving from the pyrolysis of wastes as potential substitute of traditional binders in asphalt preparation is investigated with the final goal of reducing production costs, preserving non-renewable resources, and promoting an effective resource use as well as recovery and recycling procedures, thus implementing a regenerative circular economy approach. Char derived from the pyrolysis of agricultural and aquaculture wastes has been explored as a novel alternative additive for asphalt production. Different feedstocks were used for the preparation of biochar by pyrolysis. The produced char samples, after an in-depth chemical and structural characterization, have been implemented in the preparation of asphalt mixtures, with their potential use as a binder evaluated b
