Background: In this research, the decomposition of Aroclor 1254, including 20 kinds of poly chlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), in real waste transformer oil in the presence of PEG1000, NaOH, zero valent iron and H2O by microwave (MW) irradiation was studied.
Methods: Central composites design (CCD) method was carried out for experimental design. The effects of microwave power levels (200- 1000 W), ...
