  • Does 6PPD ozonation pose environmental risks?
  • 6PPD, a tire rubber antioxidant, poses substantial ecological risks because it can form a highly toxic quinone transformation product (TP), 6PPD-quinone (6PPDQ), during exposure to gas-phase ozone. Important data gaps exist regarding the structures, reaction mechanisms, and environmental occurrence of TPs from 6PPD ozonation.
  • 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.
  • Can 6PPD be recycled?
  • We demonstrate the catalytic upgrade of 6PPD to safe chemicals and the valorization of crumb rubber to aromatics and carbon black using microwave-assisted pyrolysis. Upcycling end-of-life tire waste is complex due to the recalcitrant nature of the toxic legacy additive, 6PPD.
  • Why is acetone better than 6PPD?
  • Acetone’s lower boiling point (56 °C) compared with 6PPD (260 °C) makes solvent recovery much less energy intensive. Although acetone can readily dissolve many classes of molecules 25, it does not degrade the cross-linked rubber phase. This is crucial for producing a 6PPD-free crumb rubber product that is safe for various applications.
