Abstract

Correction for ‘Enhanced production of phenol and debromination by co-pyrolysis of the non-metallic fraction of printed circuit boards and waste tires’ by Chuan Ma et al., Green Chem., 2021, 23, 6392–6404, DOI: 10.1039/D1GC01176F.

Tables 1 and 2 in the originally published manuscript contained small typographical errors that do not impact the main conclusions of the manuscript. In Table 1, the percentage of volatile matter for PCB should be 35 and 5 for fixed carbon. The ordering of samples in Table 2 was also incorrect and should have been listed as PCB, PCB1WT3, PCB1WT1, PCB3WT1 and WT.
