Abstract
Waste printed circuit board (WPCB) is an indispensable component in any waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). A promising method for recycling WPCB is pyrolysis. To understand the effect of metals and brominated flame retardants (BFR) on WPCB pyrolysis, four samples were prepared, namely (a) raw WPCB (RW), (b) non-metallic WPCB (NM), (c) bromine extracted WPCB (RWBFR_ext) and (d) bromine and metal extracted WPCB (NMBFR_ext). The degradation kinetics study using the isoconversional methods: Friedman, Ozawa-Flynn-Wall (OFW), Kissinger–Akahira–Sunose (KAS), and Starink showed that the extraction of metals exhibited an increase in final degradation temperature and activation energy (Eα), and altered the reaction mechanism (f(a)) whereas, the reduction of BFR reduced initial degradation temperature. The identified kinetic triplets were verified using the reconstruction profiles. The parameters can be used in designing applications and developing an energy-efficient pyrolysis process.
期刊介绍：
Thermochimica Acta publishes original research contributions covering all aspects of thermoanalytical and calorimetric methods and their application to experimental chemistry, physics, biology and engineering. The journal aims to span the whole range from fundamental research to practical application.
The journal focuses on the research that advances physical and analytical science of thermal phenomena. Therefore, the manuscripts are expected to provide important insights into the thermal phenomena studied or to propose significant improvements of analytical or computational techniques employed in thermal studies. Manuscripts that report the results of routine thermal measurements are not suitable for publication in Thermochimica Acta.
The journal particularly welcomes papers from newly emerging areas as well as from the traditional strength areas:
- New and improved instrumentation and methods
- Thermal properties and behavior of materials
- Kinetics of thermally stimulated processes
