Tannery wastewater contains several detrimental constituents that severely affect concrete durability. It can also cause soil and water pollution from discharge of untreated effluent if not properly contained. Therefore, ensuring proper protection tannery treatment plants is extreme importance to prevent leaching hazardous wastewater. Properly proportioned blended cement usually required for co...

Chromium (Cr) is the most important element used to leather industry is still considered to be the most important industries which pollute the environment by chromium metal. Removal of heavy metals dissolved at low concentrations in water and wastewaters is often a problem that can be solved in different ways. This paper describes a study conducted to determine the recovery of chromium from tan...

The emission of tannery effluents into the environment may cause serious harm to human and environmental health. Nevertheless, few studies have investigated the possible effects of intake of these effluents in mammalian. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the neurobehavioral effects of chronic intake of different tannery effluents concentrations (0.1%, 1% and 5%) (120 days) in male C57BL/6J mic...

Hazardous solid wastes may pose a serious risk to human health and to the environment, if not managed appropriately and disposed of safely. In this study, the effective stabilization of tannery sludge, a toxic industrial solid waste produced from the physico-chemical treatment of tannery wastewaters, was examined by the addition of ladle furnace slag (LFS), another industrial solid waste. Moreo...

105 ABSTRACT: The isolated fungi species of different kinds from chromium contaminated soil sites located in Nagalkeni, Chennai were used for reducing chromium(VI) in a tannery industry wastewater of Nagalkeni, Chennai. The experiments were conducted to know biosorption potential of isolated fungi species for removing chromium(VI) in a tannery industry wastewater against the different pH, fungi...
