Titel:
Mechanistic Insights into Catalysis of In-Situ Iron on Pyrolysis of Waste Printed Circuit Boards
:
Comparative Study of Kinetics, Products, and Reaction Mechanism
Beschreibung:
Pyrolysis is a potential recovery method for waste printed circuit boards (WPCBs), but the organic brominated products are toxic and hazardous. Iron has been used as a catalyst for debromination from pyrolysis oil, but the effects of in-situ iron on WPCBs pyrolysis is still not well understood. Herein, the pyrolysis mechanism for laminates of PCBs in the absence and presence of iron was studied via analyzing pyrolysis characteristics, kinetics, and products. According to the thermogravimetry experiments, pyrolysis of both samples could be divided into four stages, and iron accelerated the pyrolysis reaction by decreasing the activation energy as calculated using the Starink method. Volatiles released during the heating process were continuously determined by TG-FTIR-MS, and products generated at different pyrolysis temperatures were collected and characterized. The obtained results exhibited that iron promoted the generation of gaseous products and facilitated the conversion of organic bromides to inorganic bromides. Therefore, retaining iron was beneficial to energy saving and environmental protection for WPCBs pyrolysis. In addition, the decomposition mechanisms of brominated epoxy resin with and without iron were proposed. This work would contribute to the improvement and application of WPCBs pyrolysis technology
