About this document
Chromium Recovery from Leather Waste by Sonedi Leon is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The study investigates the extraction of chromium from chromium-tanned leather waste through sulfuric acid leaching, aiming to reduce its hazardous nature and enhance biodegradability. Optimal conditions for chromium recovery were identified, achieving 30-60% recovery with minimal organic matrix degradation. Despite successful extraction, the resulting waste remained hazardous, necessitating further treatment to remove residual chromium.
