The effect of technical lignin on the properties of petroleum bitumen was evaluated. The lignin sample was purified by sieving. After that, its effect on the properties of road bitumen was evaluated. The study concluded that it is advisable to use lignin as a relatively cheap substitute for petroleum bitumen.
