Recovery of Proteins and Chromium Complexes from Chromium – Containing Leather Waste (CCLW)

Recovery of Proteins and Chromium Complexes from Chromium – Containing Leather Waste (CCLW)

Chromium – Containing Leather Waste (CCLW) constitutes an environmental pollution problem to leather industries disposing the waste by landfill. The waste mainly consists of collagen and chromium III complexes. This work is a design of reactors to recover gelatin, polypeptides and chromium from CCLW...

The waste mainly consists of collagen and chromium III complexes. This work is a design of reactors to recover gelatin, polypeptides and chromium from CCLW. The results of the experiment shows that 68% of protein, based on dry weight of leather scraps, could be recovered. Three reactors with a total volume of 18 m3 was designed to handle 10,431 kg of waste generated from the tanning industries.http://azojete.com.ng/index.php/azojete/article/view/183/159
