Abstract

Downstream uses for briquettes and other forms of asphalt shingle waste are provided. A composition is provided. The composition comprises 5% to 50% by weight of an asphalt shingle waste based on a total weight of the composition, wherein the asphalt shingle waste comprises a waste asphalt; 1% to 25% by weight of at least one filler material based on the total weight of the composition; 1% to 15% by weight of at least one polymer based on the total weight of the composition; 1% to 10% by weight of at least one stabilizer based on the total weight of the composition; and 1% to 15% by weight of at least one surfactant based on the total weight of the composition. A drilling fluid, various other asphalt products, and related methods are also provided, among other things.

Claims (60)

1. A composition comprising:

15% to 35% by weight of an asphalt shingle waste based on a total weight of the composition,

wherein the asphalt shingle waste comprises a waste asphalt;

1% to 25% by weight of at least one filler material based on the total weight of the composition;

1% to 15% by weight of at least one polymer based on the total weight of the composition;

1% to 10% by weight of at least one stabilizer based on the total weight of the composition; and

1% to 15% by weight of at least one surfactant based on the total weight of the composition.

2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises 1% to 10% by weight of the at least one filler material based on the total weight of the composition.

3. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises 2% to 10% by weight of the at least one polymer based on the total weight of the composition.

4. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises 1% to 5% by weight of the at least one stabilizer based on the total weight of the composition.

5. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises 1% to 10% by weight of the at least one surfactant based on the total weight of the composition.

6. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the asphalt shingle waste further comprises limestone, granules, and impurities.

7. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the at least one polymer comprises at least one of a poly(styrene-isoprene-styrene) (SIS), a poly(styrene-butadiene-styrene) (SBS), a poly(styrene-ethylene/butylene-styrene) (SEBS), a poly(styrene-ethylene/propylene-styrene) (SEPS), a styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), or any combination thereof.

8. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the at least one stabilizer comprises at least one of a microcrystalline cellulose, a xanthan gum, a carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), an alginate, a pectin, a guar gum, or any combination thereof.

9. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition is substantially free of a non-waste asphalt.

10. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition is free of a non-waste asphalt.

11. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the asphalt shingle waste comprises:

5% to 95% by weight of the waste asphalt based on a total weight of the asphalt shingle waste.

12. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the at least one filler material comprises limestone, granules, and impurities.

13. A composition comprising:

5% to 50% by weight of an asphalt shingle waste based on a total weight of the composition,

wherein the asphalt shingle waste comprises a waste asphalt;

1% to 10% by weight of at least one filler material based on the total weight of the composition;

1% to 15% by weight of at least one polymer based on the total weight of the composition;

1% to 10% by weight of at least one stabilizer based on the total weight of the composition; and

1% to 15% by weight of at least one surfactant based on the total weight of the composition.

14. The composition of claim 13 , wherein the at least one stabilizer comprises at least one of a microcrystalline cellulose, a xanthan gum, a carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), an alginate, a pectin, a guar gum, or any combination thereof.

15. The composition of claim 13 , wherein the composition is substantially free of a non-waste asphalt.

16. The composition of claim 13 , wherein the composition is free of a non-waste asphalt.

17. The composition of claim 13 , wherein the asphalt shingle waste comprises:

5% to 95% by weight of the waste asphalt based on a total weight of the asphalt shingle waste.

18. The composition of claim 13 , wherein the at least one filler material comprises limestone, granules, and impurities.

19. A composition comprising:

5% to 50% by weight of an asphalt shingle waste based on a total weight of the composition,

wherein the asphalt shingle waste comprises a waste asphalt;

1% to 25% by weight of at least one filler material based on the total weight of the composition;

1% to 15% by weight of at least one polymer based on the total weight of the composition;

1% to 10% by weight of at least one stabilizer based on the total weight of the composition; and

1% to 10% by weight of at least one surfactant based on the total weight of the composition.

20. The composition of claim 19 , wherein the at least one stabilizer comprises at least one of a microcrystalline cellulose, a xanthan gum, a carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), an alginate, a pectin, a guar gum, or any combination thereof.

21. The composition of claim 19 , wherein the composition is substantially free of a non-waste asphalt.

22. The composition of claim 19 , wherein the composition is free of a non-waste asphalt.

23. The composition of claim 19 , wherein the asphalt shingle waste comprises:

5% to 95% by weight of the waste asphalt based on a total weight of the asphalt shingle waste.

24. The composition of claim 19 , wherein the at least one filler material comprises limestone, granules, and impurities.

25. A composition comprising:

5% to 50% by weight of an asphalt shingle waste based on a total weight of the composition,

wherein the asphalt shingle waste comprises 5% to 95% by weight of a waste asphalt based on a total weight of the asphalt shingle waste;

1% to 25% by weight of at least one filler material based on the total weight of the composition;
