Organobromine compounds comprise between 3 and 8% by weight of WEEE and mainly converted to HBr and Br₂ in the incinerator. However, these compounds, during the cooling of the flue gases, can form the PBDD/Fs in the post-combustion area of the furnace. Due to the many benefits of Oxy-combustion process, our group has developed a fluidised bed incinerator for burning the WEEE and plan to maximise HBr/Br₂ in the flue gas. Experimental results presented in the recent papers show that the combustion of the WEEE particles attains quickly to thermodynamic equilibrium. Thermodynamic modelling can, therefore, predict the concentration of brominated pollutants, particularly HBr, Br₂, HgBr₂, and Br˙ in the flue gas. In this paper, the effect of various parameters for increasing the HBr/Br₂ ratio in the flue gas has been investigated. The model shows that the addition of very small amounts of hydrogen in the post-combustion area can convert Br₂ and Br˙ into HBr.
