Unsur Senyawa Kimia Dari Limbah Masker Medis Untuk Meningkatkan Kinerja Campuran Aspal
Summary
This Indonesian literature review examines chemical components in medical face mask waste, particularly polypropylene and silica, and their potential as additives in asphalt mixtures. The dominant silicon content (59%) could improve asphalt resistance to rutting and increase fatigue life when mask waste is incorporated as an additive.
Masker adalah perlindungan pernafasan yang digunakan sebagai metode untuk melindungi individu dari menghirup zat-zat bahaya atau kontaminan yang berada di udara. Meskipun masker sangat diperlukan untuk menghindari penyebaran virus Corona, namun pembuangan masker mengancam lingkungan. Masker medis terdiri dari tiga lapisan, lapisan luar dan lapisan dalam adalah kain non-woven yang tahan air dan lapisan tengah adalah bahan yang meleleh. Sebagian besar, komposisi kimia dari masker medis adalah polipropilena. Pada review ini akan dibahas penggunaan limbah masker yang mengandung polipropilena sebagai bahan aditif dalam pembuatan campuran aspal. Metode yang digunakan adalah studi literatur dari peneliti terdahulu dan analisis penambahan limbah masker yang mengandung polipripilena yang berpengaruh terhadap campuran aspal. Sumber utama refrensi artikel ini berasal dari Research Gate, Science Direct, dan Google Scholar. Ditemukan bahwa unsur senyawa yang paling dominan pada masker medis adalah Si (Silika) sebesar 59,11%. Penambahan silika pada campuran aspal dapat meningkatkan ketahanan terhadap kerusakan alur, peningkatan nilai modulus, dan umur fatigue.

Repurposing the disposable face masks in hot mix asphalt: Enhancing pavement performance and addressing plastic waste pollution
Researchers investigated repurposing shredded single-use polypropylene face masks as an additive in hot mix asphalt, evaluating improvements to mechanical performance of the pavement while simultaneously addressing the surge in disposable mask waste generated during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Influence of COVID-19 Face Mask Additives on the High-Temperature and Fatigue Performance of Asphalt Binder
This engineering study tested whether shredded disposable face masks could be used as additives in road asphalt. Adding 5% mask material modestly improved fatigue life, but higher percentages reduced it, suggesting limited but possible applications for recycling mask waste into road materials.
Effect of Waste Mask Fabric Scraps on Strength and Moisture Susceptibility of Asphalt Mixture with Nano-Carbon-Modified Filler
Researchers tested the effects of incorporating waste mask fabric scraps and nano-carbon-modified filler into hot mix asphalt mixtures at 0.3% and 0.5% by weight. The combined additions improved tensile strength and fatigue resistance while offering a constructive disposal pathway for pandemic-era mask waste.
Recycling of Polymer Components From Waste Face Masks for Asphalt Modification: A Mini Review
Polymer components recovered from waste face masks (a major source of plastic waste since the COVID-19 pandemic) were recycled and incorporated into new materials. The study supports developing circular recycling pathways for the large volume of disposable mask plastic that otherwise risks fragmenting into microplastics.
Advanced Recycling of Modified EDPM Rubber in Bituminous Asphalt Paving
Researchers explored recycling discarded COVID-19 surgical masks by incorporating them into bituminous asphalt for road pavement. Testing showed the mask material, made from modified rubber and polypropylene, could be blended into asphalt base courses without compromising structural performance, offering a potential circular-economy approach to managing pandemic plastic waste.
