Potential Low-cost Treatment of Tannery Effluents from Industry by Adsorption on Activated Charcoal Derived from Olive Pomace
Tannery wastewater contains a significant amount of chemical compounds, including toxic substances. Due to the toxicity and negative environmental effects of these tannery effluents, mandatory treatment is necessary. The main objective of this study was to treat effluent from an artisanal tannery in...

| description | Tannery wastewater contains a significant amount of chemical compounds, including toxic substances. Due to the toxicity and negative environmental effects of these tannery effluents, mandatory treatment is necessary. The main objective of this study was to treat effluent from an artisanal tannery in the city of Fez (Morocco) using the adsorption process with activated charcoal derived from olive pomace. The physicochemical characterization of tanning water included several parameters, such as chemical oxygen demand (COD), total Kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN), suspended solids (SS), sulfate ions (SO42-), nitrate, and chromium Cr(VI). The analyses show that the adsorption process reduced nitrate by 57.54%, sulfate by 94.08%, TKN by 74.84%, COD by 68.18%, Cr by 91.27%, and Cr (VI) by 89.78%. The activated charcoal was characterized before and after tannery effluent treatment using various techniques, including FT-IR, SEM, and EDX. From the above, it can be inferred that using activated carbon made from olive pomace has the potential to reduce tannery effluent pollution parameters. This innovative approach demonstrates that competitive results can be achieved without sacrificing economic viability, thereby promoting sustainable practices in the treatment of industrial liquid waste and wastewater treatment plants. |
