A novel approach to epoxy coating removal from Waste Printed Circuit Boards by solvent stripping using NaOH under autoclaving condition

The Printed Circuit Board (PCB) was an insulating material as a whole, but having conductive lines printed over it or etched from it and found virtually in all sorts of Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE). To process the PCB in an environmentally sound manner, various techniques were under res...
