The leather industry is characterized by the production of a huge amount wastewater with high organic/inorganic charge, causing widespread water and soil pollution. Pressure-driven membrane operations bioreactors have long been proven to be valid approach for treatment tanning wastewaters aimed at recovery raw materials as well removal toxic environmentally harmful substances. Such processes, o...

The leather industry has been marked as a top-priority sector due to its potential growth and economical contribution in Bangladesh. However, these industries are unable meet the compliance issue environmental pollution. Leather processing is complex process based on chemicals mechanical methods. A substantial amount of solid liquid wastes generally produced during production leather. As most t...

Byproduct utilization is an important consideration in the development of sustainable processes. Whey protein isolate (WPI), a byproduct of the cheese industry, and gelatin, a byproduct of the leather industry, were reacted individually and in blends with microbial transglutaminase (mTGase) at pH 7.5 and 45 degrees C. When a WPI (10% w/w) solution was treated with mTGase (10 U/g) under reducing...

Cutting and packing problems are encountered in many industries, with different industries incorporating different constraints and objectives. The wood-, glassand paper industry are mainly concerned with the cutting of regular figures, whereas in the ship building, textile and leather industry irregular, arbitrary shaped items are to be packed. In this paper two genetic algorithms are described...

In the leather and fur industry, possibility of using electrochemically activated solutions has not been properly evaluated, although such processing raw materials can contribute to autonomy production in context import substitution reduce environmental burden enterprises on environment. The work is aimed at optimizing technological processes for anolyte. Anolyte an solution sodium chloride, ob...

In the present work an application of fuzzy neural networks for leather quality determination is investigated. An overview of the surface defects characteristics and their significance has been made. For leather quality estimation the most important features are the size and the location of the defects. These characteristics are measured using image analysis and they are used by fuzzy neural ne...

Abstract The recycling of leather solid waste not only involves resource utilization and environmental protection but also has important significance for the sustainable development industry. In this paper, was crushed into fibers, which were stabilized mixed with nitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR). mixture milled vulcanized a composite NBR-SLF (Stabilized Leather Fiber) is prepared sealing materia...
