Abstract

Non-limiting embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method comprising: obtaining asphalt shingle waste (ASW) and performing grinding, screening, and separating steps on the ASW. In some embodiments, granules are removed from the ASW. In some embodiments, the method transforms ASW into ASW powder. In some embodiments, the ASW powder is formed into a plurality of briquettes. In some embodiments, at least one of: the ASW powder, the plurality of briquettes, or any combination thereof is fed into a mixing process that results in an ASW powder filled coating.

Claims (68)

1. A method comprising:

obtaining a plurality of briquettes from an asphalt shingle waste (ASW),

wherein the plurality of briquettes comprises a waste asphalt;

feeding the plurality of briquettes, an asphalt coating, and at least one filler material into a mixer; and

mixing the plurality of briquettes, the asphalt coating, and the at least one filler material in the mixer to form an ASW filled coating,

wherein the ASW filled coating comprises:

30% to 50% by weight of an asphalt based on a total weight of the ASW filled coating,

wherein the asphalt comprises the waste asphalt;

50% to 70% by weight of the at least one filler material based on the total weight of the ASW filled coating;

wherein the at least one filler material comprises limestone; and

forming a roofing shingle comprising the ASW filled coating.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the plurality of briquettes has a dimension in a range of 0.5 inches to 2 inches.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the plurality of briquettes has a dimension in a range of 1 inches to 2 inches.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the plurality of briquettes has a dimension in a range of 1.5 inches to 2 inches.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the plurality of briquettes has a dimension in a range of 0.5 inches to 1.5 inches.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the plurality of briquettes has a dimension in a range of 1 inches to 1.5 inches.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the plurality of briquettes has an oblate spheroid shape.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the plurality of briquettes has a spherical shape.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the plurality of briquettes has a cone shape.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the plurality of briquettes has a tetrahedron shape.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the plurality of briquettes has a pentahedron shape.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the plurality of briquettes has a hexahedron shape.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the plurality of briquettes has a dodecahedron shape.

14. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the plurality of briquettes has a torus shape.

15. The method of claim 1 , wherein the asphalt coating comprises an oxidized asphalt coating.

16. The method of claim 1 , wherein the asphalt coating comprises a polymer modified asphalt coating.

17. The method of claim 16 , wherein the polymer modified asphalt coating comprises at least one of poly(styrene-butadiene-styrene) (SBS), poly(styrene-ethylene/butylene-styrene) (SEBS), an atactic polypropylene, an isotactic polypropylene, or any combination thereof.

18. The method of claim 1 , wherein the ASW filled coating comprises:

35% to 50% by weight of the asphalt based on the total weight of the ASW filled coating; and

50% to 65% by weight of the at least one filler material based on the total weight of the ASW filled coating.

19. The method of claim 1 , wherein the ASW filled coating comprises:

40% to 50% by weight of the asphalt based on the total weight of the ASW filled coating; and

50% to 60% by weight of the at least one filler material based on the total weight of the ASW filled coating.

20. The method of claim 1 , wherein the ASW filled coating comprises:

45% to 50% by weight of the asphalt based on the total weight of the ASW filled coating; and

50% to 55% by weight of the at least one filler material based on the total weight of the ASW filled coating.

21. The method of claim 1 , wherein the ASW filled coating comprises:

30% to 45% by weight of the asphalt based on the total weight of the ASW filled coating; and

55% to 70% by weight of the at least one filler material based on the total weight of the ASW filled coating.

22. The method of claim 1 , wherein the ASW filled coating comprises:

30% to 40% by weight of the asphalt based on the total weight of the ASW filled coating; and

60% to 70% by weight of the at least one filler material based on the total weight of the ASW filled coating.

23. The method of claim 1 , wherein the ASW filled coating comprises:

30% to 35% by weight of the asphalt based on the total weight of the ASW filled coating; and

65% to 70% by weight of the at least one filler material based on the total weight of the ASW filled coating.

24. The method of claim 1 , wherein the ASW filled coating further comprises impurities from the ASW.

25. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method is a continuous process.

26. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

heating a mixture of the plurality of briquettes, the asphalt coating, and the at least one filler material.

27. The method of claim 26 , wherein the heated mixture has a temperature in a range of 400° F. to 500° F.

28. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

obtaining the ASW,

wherein the ASW comprises the waste asphalt; and

forming the asphalt shingle waste into the plurality of briquettes.

29. The method of claim 1 , wherein forming the roofing shingle comprising the ASW filled coating comprises:

obtaining a fiberglass mat;

applying the ASW filled coating to the fiberglass mat to form a coated fiberglass mat; and

applying at least one of granules, sand, or any combination thereof, to the coated fiberglass mat to form the roofing shingle.

30. A method comprising:

obtaining a plurality of briquettes from an asphalt shingle waste (ASW),

wherein the plurality of briquettes comprises a waste asphalt;

feeding the plurality of briquettes, an asphalt coating, and at least one filler material into a mixer; and

mixing the plurality of briquettes, the asphalt coating, and the at least one filler material in the mixer to form an ASW filled coating,

wherein the ASW filled coating comprises:

30% to 50% by weight of an asphalt based on a total weight of the ASW filled coating,

wherein the asphalt comprises the waste asphalt;

50% to 70% by weight of the at least one filler material based on the total weight of the ASW filled coating;

wherein the at least one filler material comprises limestone.
