Abstract

Waste material such as waste engine oil is vital to the environment as it will bring pollution to the environment. Worsening environmental condition due to waste engine oil has leads to ways to find new alternative method to overcome this problem. This research is conducted to investigate the influence of Waste Engine Oil (WEO) towards asphalt binder in tenns of viscosity and rheology properties. Two type of Asphalt were mixed with the WEO at 4% and 8% concentration. For this research, two basic equipment were which were Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and Rotational Viscosity (RV). Result showed that there was no significant difference in viscosity between asphalt A and asphalt B. However, all mixture samples showed viscosity below 3 Pa, suitable for asphalt viscosity for construction. FTIR analysis showed that there were difference in functional groups for asphalt A and B. Meanwhile the WEO and asphalt mixture at 4% and 8% concentration resulted with similar functional groups of C-H, alkanes and carboxylic acid. The WEO and asphalt mixture may help to improve the viscosity if the modifier and subsequently reduce the construction temperature. On top of that, the usage of WEO is environmental friendly and help to reduce pollution for sustainable environment.
