Article Abstract
The purpose of this study was to optimize the processes of wetting fillers by varying the content of such additives as a surfactant and polymer in bitumen-mineral compositions in order to achieve optimal performance. The cosine of the contact angle was used as a criterion for assessing the adhesion of the bitumen binder to the surface of crushed stone. The effect of the additives' concentration on surface tension and adhesive efficiency in binary and ternary bitumen compositions was studied. The following chemicals were used as additives: the original product AS-1, industrial additive AMDOR-10, and used sealant AG-4I, a product based on polyisobutylene and petroleum oils. AS-1 was obtained from the oil refining waste in the laboratory of M. Kozybayev North Kazakhstan University. The ternary "bitumen-AG-4I-AS-1" composition provided a maximum decrease in the contact angle by 15.96° (gray crushed stone) and by 14.06° (red crushed stone) relative to original bitumen, providing better wettability of the mineral filler particles with the bitumen, and as a result, maximum adhesion between the bitumen and crushed stone. The optimal performance of the bitumen-mineral composition was recorded with the joint presence of additives in the bitumen: AS-1 at a level of 1.0 g/dm and AG-4I at a level of 1.0 g/dm.

Resource recycling of construction waste can be an effective substitute for the production of building materials, significantly reduce environmental pollution and ecological damage while lowering carbon emissions. However, existing studies lack a comprehensive and accurate comparison of different recycling processes, making it difficult to fully and accurately determine the associated carbon reduction potential. In this paper, process life cycle assessment (LCA) and hybrid LCA models are used to calculate carbon emissions from resource recycling of construction waste.

In marine engineering applications, substituting conventional crushed stone coarse aggregates with coral aggregates offers dual advantages: reduced terrestrial quarrying operations and minimized construction material transportation costs. However, the inherent characteristics of coral aggregates-low bulk density, high porosity, and elevated water absorption capacity-adversely influence concrete workability and mechanical performance. To address these limitations, this investigation employed microbial-induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) for aggregate modification.

To enhance the mechanical and durability properties of cement-fly ash stabilized aeolian sand and crushed stones, the synergistic optimization effects of basalt fibers and polycarboxylate superplasticizer were investigated. First, two full factorial experiments were conducted to evaluate the individual and combined effects of basalt fiber volume content and polycarboxylate superplasticizer mass content. Then, four mix proportions were selected to verify the durability optimization.

The current investigation analyzed the impact of dust pollution from the stone crushing industry in the Kirana Hills of Sargodha on plant communities, with a focus on seasonal variations in plant metabolism, structure, and heavy metal accumulation at different study sites. The results revealed that heavy metal concentrations were notably higher at extreme dust sites, particularly during the winter season, indicating a significant impact of dust pollution on the environment. Soil analysis revealed distinct compositions across different sites and seasons, highlighting the variability in environmental conditions.
