Abstract

The non-isothermal pyrolysis of printed wiring boards (PWBs) was investigated by simultaneous thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA) in the temperature range of 300–1200 K. Pyrolysis experiments were carried out on PWBs samples at three different heating rates of 10, 20, and 30°C/min. In this study, the kinetic parameters of PWBs pyrolysis have been estimated using model free and model fitted methods.
