Performance and mechanism of waste engine oil in the regeneration of aged asphalt from different perspectives. by Yi Wang, Jin Wang, Wei Cui, Hongwei Wang, Fan Zhang, Fayong Yang

“…Molecular simulations revealed that the diffusion ability of light components in aged asphalt was weakened, while the Ar and S diffusion coefficients increased by 861.4% and 108%, respectively, indicating that the diffusion ability of these components was notably improved. Consequentially, the application of WEO as a rejuvenator in asphalt modification offers significant economic and environmental benefits.…”
