Microstructural modifications in bitumens rejuvenated by oil from pyrolysis of waste tires by Michela Alfe, Valentina Gargiulo, Giovanna Ruoppolo, Francesco Cammarota, Pietro Calandra, Cesare Oliviero Rossi, Valeria Loise, Michele Porto, Roberto Di Capua, Paolino Caputo

“…The impacts of our findings are expected to be extensive because bitumens are globally used for paving roads. In addition, since the proposed method couples/fuses urban waste treatment with asphalt maintenance processes, two types of wastes (oil from pyrolysis of WTs and aged bitumens) can be simultaneously recovered and reused to produce new and performing asphalts.…”
