Biomonitoring of Toxic Elements in Plants Collected Near Leather Tanning Industry

Valorization of titanium metal wastes as tanning agent used in leather industry.

The development of new tanning agents and new technologies in the leather sector is required to cope with the increasingly higher environmental pressure on the current tanning materials and processes such as tanning with chromium salts. In this paper, the use of titanium wastes (cuttings) resulting from the process of obtaining highly pure titanium (ingots), for the synthesis of new tanning age...

Hazardous emissions from Thai coal-fired power plants: Toxic and potentially toxic elements in fly ashes collected from the Mae Moh and Thai Petrochemical Industry

Potential of Vegetable Tanning Materials and Basic Aluminum Sulphate in Sudanese Leather Industry

Ecological pressures on chromium have now forced the leather industry to look for possible alternatives. A vegetablealuminum combination tannage has been studied, with special attention being given to intended final product. Aluminum is mineral tanning agents that are widely used to stabilize collagens in the leather industry. In this study, the crosslinking of vegetable and aluminum, with coll...

Cancer incidence in the Swedish leather tanning industry: updated findings 1958-99.

AIMS To assess how a 10 year extension of the follow up period affected cancer incidence in the Swedish leather tanning cohort. METHODS A cohort of 2027 tannery workers (of which 482 were women) who had been employed for at least one year between 1900 and 1989 at one of three Swedish leather tanneries, was established. The start of observation varied between 1958 and 1966 for the three plants...

Assessment of Biodegradability of Synthetic Tanning Agents Used in Leather Tanning Process

---The goal of this research was to assess the biodegradability of two synthetic tanning agents (syntans), Phenol condensation product and Nitrogen containing resin using Respirometry. The evaluation involved the analysis of oxygen uptake rate (OUR), profiles by respirometry. The study was conducted with different syntan concentrations of 50mg/L, 100mg/L, 150mg/L and 200mg/L. The oxygen uptake ...
