Development of nanofilters with the ability to remove toxic metal ions from effluent wastewater will be immense help leather industry. In this study, fibrous nanofilter (FNF) was prepared using microfibrillated cellulose and tea leaf microparticles blended in poly (vinyl) alcohol. FNF analysed for its efficacy hazardous metals tannery wastewater. The had promising traits tensile strength (19.24...

Biological nitrification/denitrification is frequently used to remove nitrogen from tannery wastewater containing high concentrations of ammonia. However, information is limited about the bacterial nitrifiers and denitrifiers and their functional genes in tannery wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) due to the low-throughput of the previously used methods. In this study, 454 pyrosequencing and I...

Toxicity tests were performed to assess the effect of tannery wastewater with different treatment levels on two wetland plants, Phragmites australis and Typha latifolia, which are frequently used in constructed wetlands (CWs) for water treatment, and thus deepen the knowledge on their capacity to withstand the application of industrial wastewater. Trifolium pratense, a plant generally used as a...

Tannery wastewater contains large quantities of organic and inorganic compounds, including toxic substances such as sulfides and chromium salts. The evaluation of wastewater quality in Chile nowadays is based on chemical specific measurements and toxicity tests. The goal of this research was to characterize tannery wastewater and to relate its physical/chemical parameters with its acute toxicit...

introduction Tannery waste management is a serious problem for tanning and leather industry facilities. Those branches generate large quantities of waste, consume substantial amounts of energy and in the general opinion are considered „air polluters”. The methods of tannery waste management applied thus far are insufficient, thus considerable portions of such waste are stored on landfills. The ...

Twelve basidiomycetes were investigated for their ability to degrade 13 industrial dyes and to treat four model wastewaters from textile and tannery industry, defined on the basis of discharged amounts, economic relevance and representativeness of chemical structures of the contained dyes. The best degradation yields were recorded for one strain of Bjerkandera adusta able to completely decolour...

Presents the findings of a study conducted to examine the efficiency of the combined anaerobic-aerobic reactors for the treatment of three different tannery industrial wastewaters, focusing on the fate of chromium and other associated metals. Examines elimination rates of such metals with respect to each successive treatment process. Discusses the correlation between the chemical characteristic...

Abstract Tannery wastewater is a complex mixture of organic and inorganic components from various processes with high concentrations Cr, BOD, COD, TDS, strong colour pH. The goal the present work was to determine optimal solar photo-assisted electrochemical peroxidation process (SPECP) experimental conditions for treatment tannery wastewater. Experiments were conducted in bench-scale stirred ta...

with its well-known biological toxicity, the excessive concentrations of sulfide in tannery wastewaters may upset the biological treatment processes, thus leading to a substantial decrease in the efficiency of treatment plants. the presence of sulfide in wastewaters may dramatically interfere with microbial activities and consequently disturb the function of the system as a whole. in this study...

We quantitatively studied the advantages of improving the compaction of a powder waste by several techniques, including its pelletization. The goal is increasing the mass storage capacity in a given storage volume, and reducing the permeability of air and moisture, that may trigger exothermic spontaneous reactions in organic waste, particularly as powders. The study is based on dried sludges fr...
