  • What is 6PPD used for?
  • 6PPD is an organic chemical widely used as stabilising additive (or antidegradant) in rubbers, such as NR, SBR and BR; all of which are common in vehicle tires. [ 1 ] Although it is an effective antioxidant it is primarily used because of its excellent antiozonant performance. It is one of several antiozonants based around p -phenylenediamine.
  • Is 6PPD recalcitrant under harsh pyrolysis?
  • This demonstrates the recalcitrant nature of 6PPD under harsh pyrolysis conditions and suggests solvent extraction is necessary for its removal. The TGA curve (Supplementary Fig. 11) of 6PPD shows a maximum degradation at ~300 °C and suggests that some 6PPD in the tires may sublime into the liquid product before the rubber degrades.
  • Does 6PPD survive pyrolysis?
  • The liquid pyrolysis oil product distribution and solid carbon black powder from the 1.3 mm and 0.6 mm particles are independent of the starting particle size (Fig. 1d); however, gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) of the oil product shows that 6PPD survives appreciably after pyrolysis (Supplementary Fig. 10).
  • Does 6PPD survive microwave-assisted pyrolysis?
  • With legislation on the horizon to ban 6PPD entirely, developing effective methods for its removal and conversion to safe compounds is essential. Here we show that 6PPD survives microwave-assisted pyrolysis and escapes in the oil product, rendering decontamination essential.
