  • Is 6PPD a toxic oxidant?
  • To enhance tire durability, the antioxidant N- (1,3-dimethylbutyl)-N′-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine (6PPD) is used in rubber, but it converts into the toxic 6PPD quinone (6PPD-Q) when exposed to oxidants like ozone (O 3), causing ecological concerns.
  • Can 6PPD be removed from end-of-life tires?
  • We introduce a decontamination strategy that removes 6PPD from end-of-life tires before it enters the broader ecosystem. 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.

  • 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.
  • 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.
