Valuable Products From Tannery Wastes

Abstract We proved the viability of enzymatic dechromation technology, proceeding under mild reaction conditions, by the daily capacity of 3 metric tons for processing chrome shavings. The advantage of the enzymatic reaction is producing protein hydrolyzates of relatively good quality and chrome sludge. The quality of both is increased by using organic bases to form an alkaline reaction mixture. ...
