Summary

Introduction. The introduction briefly describes the state of roads in Ukraine and its favorable geographical location on the way to European integration. The expediency of measures for prevention of icing on roads which will improve the quality of road transportations especially during the winter period and, in general, will contribute to the reduction of the cost of maintenance in the proper condition the whole transport infrastructure was justified.
Problem Statement. The analysis of recent researches and publications was carried out; the main methods of icing combat were analyzed: mechanical, frictional, chemical and combined. The advantages and disadvantages of known methods and compounding used for prevention of icing on highways are systematized.
Purpose. The purpose of this article is the replacement of traditional sand-gravel mixtures (siftings) of solid rocks used for icing prevention on porous materials in combination with chemical additives. The object of research is natural, microporous mineral - zeolite. Microporous nature of zeolite  provides its high sorption properties, respectively, expands the possibilities of using the ingredient in combination with traditional chemical reagents (salts) for icing prevention. Such compounding (composition) is more technological, reducing the use of chemical reagents and, accordingly, providing  less environmental impact on the transport routes and roadside territory due to high sorption properties, etc.
Materials and methods. By systematic approach the mechanism of interaction of salt with ice and snow was studied, cryoscopic constant value for water was determined. It was analyzed that mechanism of dissolution which is physico-chemical because salt ions solvation (chemical component) is accompanied by thermal phenomena. It is also shown that for high diluted solutions, the molar concentration is corresponded the mole concentration.
Results. The full characteristic of the mineral zeolite is given, its basic physical properties are established which are shown the obvious advantages of zeolite in comparison with traditional sand-gravel mixtures. The thermodynamic characteristics, concentration factors (reference data for various salts) which will allow choosing more optimal chemical reagent (salt or their mixture) taking into account working temperatures, environment, availability, etc. are presented.
Conclusion. Research of environments based on natural mineral zeolite with adding the traditional salt components as a mixture for icing prevention of highways, including bridges, overpasses, sidewalks, is shown the prospect of the use of de-icing materials of the proposed composition and determined the need for their further research.
