This study investigates the influence of MPs on the thermolytic behavior of NR and finds that the furnace type of a pyrolyzer cannot determine the formation of isoprene and dipentene, while the Curie point type of a pyrolyzer can linearly respond to the mass of NR. Therefore, adopting the Curie point type of a pyrolyzer is a viable option for quantification of TWPs in road dust when the effects of ferromagnetic substance are neutralized.
Road dust cotains tire wear particles (TWPs) and a large amount of mineral particles (MPs). Given that tire tread in vehicles is mainly comprised of natural rubber (NR), isoprene and dipentene could be the main pyrogenic products stemmed from the thermolysis of NR. This offers a great chance to quantify the exact mass of TWP in road dust. As such, this study focused on the in-fluence of MPs on the trends in thermolytic behaviors of NR using the resistive furnace (furnance) and Curie point pyrolyzers. This study confirmed that a reliable correlation in line with the formation of isoprene and dipentene could not be realized using the furnace type of a pyrolyzer. This means that employing the furnace type of a pyrolyzer in quantitification of TWPs could not be a viable and approproiate option due to the diverted thermolytic trends of NR due to differ-ences in the heat transfer and adsoprtion of the pyrogenic products triggered by MPs. In the Curie point type of a pyrolyzer, the production rates of isoprene and dipentene were linearly responded to the mass of NR. The ferromagnetic substance in MPs could lead to the thermolytic trend change of NR. Thus, adopting the Curie point type of a pyrolyzer could be a viable option for quantifi-cation of TWPs in road dust when the effects of ferromagnetic substance are well neutralized.
