Dynamics of the combustion process of printed circuit boards inside a fluidized bed reactor

The following article presents the method for thermal transformation of printed circuit board (PCB) components mostly from a PC main board. The combustion process was carried out inside a laboratory scale fluidized bed reactor. During the process the concentration of gases such as NOx, CO, CO2, SO2 in exhaust fumes was continuously measured. Furthermore, the dynamics of each part of the PCB has been studied.
