Résumé
This study investigates the feasibility of using Kraft lignin in Hot and Warm Mix Asphalt (HMA and WMA), with a particular focus on its integration alongside Sasobit®. The research aims to evaluate the impact of Kraft lignin and Sasobit, individually and in combination, on the construction temperatures, compactability, and physical properties of asphalt mixtures. The experimental program included a reference HMA and modified mixes with 20% Kraft lignin, 3% Sasobit, and their combinations. These mixes were designed and subjected to tests to assess their volumetric and mass properties and to determine the construction temperatures using the Superpave Gyratory Compactor (SGC). The results demonstrated that adding Kraft lignin increased construction temperatures, while Sasobit effectively reduced these temperatures by lowering binder viscosity. When used together, Sasobit offset the increase in construction temperatures caused by Kraft lignin, resulting in compaction temperatures similar to the reference HMA mix. Additionally, Kraft lignin increased air voids, leading to reduced compactability at higher gyration levels. It also exhibited indications of a dual role, functioning as both a binder replacement and a filler. In conclusion, the combination of 20% Kraft lignin with 3% Sasobit offers a promising solution for enhancing the sustainability of asphalt mixtures.
