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...

Disposal of tannery effluent will result in heavy metal contamination of land and will lead to many important health and environmental hazards. Aim of the work is to determine the effects of untreated tannery effluent and treated tannery effluent on seed germination and to biodegrade the effluent using fungi. Chemical methods of remove the heavy metals in tannery effluent will have metal bearin...

Dyes wastewater produced during leather processing caused serious environmental pollution. Anionic dyes are always vital crisis in waste treatment. Removal of anionic dyes from tannery wastewater before their discharge into the environment is important for health and environment safety. The use of low-priced and biodegradable adsorbents could be a good method to minimize the environmental impac...

Heavy metals pollution has become a more serious environmental problem in the last several decades as a result releasing toxic materials into the environment. Various techniques such as physical, chemical, biological, advanced oxidation and electrochemical processes were used for the treatment of domestic, industrial and agricultural effluents. The commonly used conventional biological treatmen...

Introduction Effluents from leather industries contain high organic and inorganic loadings, and dissolved and suspended solids1,2. Apart from chemicals used in tanning process, other chemicals released from skin and hide contribute chemical oxygen demand (COD, 1000-4000 mg/l), biological oxygen demand (BOD, 300-800 mg/l) and total organic carbon (TOC, 350-1500 mg/l) of wastewater. Syntans (synt...

Emission of high chrome tanning wastewater is catastrophic for the environment. In this work, effectiveness coir pith charcoal stated removal chromium from tannery wastewater. The yield was 2.4%. prepared characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). efficiency assessed experimenting with various parameters e.g., dose, contact time, and relative pH. content in raw after trea...
