Project Background:
Aged asphalt pavement recycling technology is beneficial to the sustainable development of highway engineering. The hot-in-place regeneration technology can realize the original in-place regeneration of the aged pavement, and can quickly repair the original pavement disease. However, due to the high heating temperature of the original pavement can result to high energy consumption, serious flue gas pollution. Asphalt warm mix technology is a green pavement technology can reduce the construction temperature and achieve the purpose of reducing energy consumption, reducing greenhouse gas and harmful substances emissions.
 
Aims & Goals:
1. To research and develop new additives with fast penetration and easy compaction functions for hot-in-place recycling technology of aged asphalt pavement;
2. To reduce the construction temperature of hot-in-place recycled asphalt mixture by more than 30°C, compared with the traditional hot-in-place recycling technology;
3. To improve the performance of in-place recycled asphalt mixture and meet the specification requirements by optimizing the mineral grading of hot-in-place recycled asphalt mixture and additives. 
 
Outcomes: 
1. The freeze-thaw splitting strength ratio of in-place warm mixed recycled asphalt mixture was increased by 2.4% by using new additives of hydrocarbon-based regenerator ( polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons extracted oil) and warm mixing agent (silane);
 
2. Adopting in-place warm mixed regeneration technology, the construction temperature is reduced by nearly 20℃ and the energy consumption of in-place recycled asphalt mixture construction is effectively reduced.
