PCBs (Printed Circuit Boards) are important parts of electronic equipment and their use increases with technology development. Recycling of waste PCBs is challenging due to their complex structure and receives wide concerns as the amount of this type of waste is growing rapidly. In the article, the experiment of pyrolysis carried out with electronic waste sample was presented. The material employed in the present work was inverter of the LCD screen that it the example of the multilayer PCB. The correlation between pyrolysis temperature and gas emission from the system, which is associated with epoxy resin decomposition, is presented in the article.
