A study about isolation, identification and analysis of bacteria in waste water. Here the tannery effluent used as a sample for the entire analysis. A bacterial strain, designated MPC1 was isolated from a waste water sample collected from tannery effluent, Trichy, India and identified using a molecular approach. On the basis of the bacterial 16s rRNA gene sequence phylogeny and comparison of th...

The release of chromium into water bodies is one of the major concerns of tannery industries. The present work deals with the determination of Chromium removal capacity of powdered biomass of Sargassum wightii (Greville) in synthetically prepared as well as real tannery effluent. The maximum adsorption was obtained after 12 hours of exposure at pH-4, in 8g/L biomass concentration of the seaweed...

Tannery industry releases high amounts of tannery sludge which are currently composted and used in agricultural soils. The consecutive amendment of such composted tannery sludge (CTS) may affect soil microrganisms, such as rhizobia. In this study, we evaluated the effects of 5-year repeated CTS amendment on growth, nodulation, and yield of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.) CTS was applied in differ...

Abstract The tannery industry plays a significant role in the economy but poses severe environmental threat due to its high water and chemical usage, leading wastewater generation with concentration of pollutants. This contains range contaminants created throughout leather manufacturing process, making effluent disposal challenge for industry. tanning process also contributes significantly pH, ...

Toxic odour causes pollution to environment. Removal of odour from wet processing sections of leather tanneries is important to preserve safety and occupational health. Such odour causing gases are identified in nature and are identified mostly as ammonia, Hydrogen sulfide and Volatile organic compounds. These gases, evolving from tanning drums, were experimentally quantified and analysed. Tech...

Skin diseases are a major occupational health issue in tannery workers because of workrelated exposure to various toxic chemicals used tanning process.
