  • Title: Reducing environmental emissions in tanneries.
    Author: van Groenestijn JW, Langerwerf JS, Lucas M.
    Journal: J Environ Sci Health A Tox Hazard Subst Environ Eng; 2002; 37(4):737-43. PubMed ID: 12046670.
    Abstract:
    Tanning, in particular chrome leather production, is still characterised by an inefficient use of raw material and the production of highly polluted wastewater and solid wastes. A part of the emissions can be prevented by introducing clean tanning technologies, the remaining emissions can be treated. Clean production technologies and waste (water) treatment technologies should have a designed complimentarity. Anaerobic wastewater treatment with recovery of sulfides, sulfur and energy (biogas) is a cornerstone in such integral clean chrome leather technology.
