Open-access Tanneries: from waste to sustainability

Abstracts

The aim of this work was to look for an efficient and environmentally safe solution for the leather tanning industry through a problem of non-linear programming. The results were promising and showed a significant potential of wastewater reduction. Reuse of internal streams reduced around 70% wastewater. The solutions obtained could reduce significantly the amount of chemicals and consequently the amount of waste to be treated.
