Abstract:

The characteristics of HBr form ing and scavenging during the pyrolysis of waste printed circuit boards were investigated using the TG-FTrIR and a qua~z-pipe pyrolysis system.The results indicate that(1)HBr is main. ly released at the fast weight-losing stage(300 to 360℃)of printed circuit boards,accompanying with the main chain scissions of epoxy and brominated epoxy backbones;(2)HBr can be eficiently scavenged by adding calcium
carbonate,which has no negative effect on the degradation behavior of printed circuit boards;and(3)the harm of HBr can be completely eliminated by selecting the amount and diameter of the added ca1cium carb0nate as well as by controlling the heating rate and the pyrolysis temperatur

Key words: waste printed circuit board, pyrolysis, calcium carbonate, hydrogen bromide
