Resumo

DYES IN AQUEOUS MEDIUM.The tanning process in the leather industry generates very high quantities of chromium-containing solid waste ("wet blue" leather).Environmental concerns and escalating landfill-costs are becoming increasingly serious problems for the leather industry and an alternative disposal is needed.In this work, we are presenting a novel application for this solid waste, which is the removal of organic contaminants from aqueous-solution.The adsorption isotherm of "wet blue" leather waste from the AUREA tanning company in Erechim-RS (Brazil) showed that this material presents high adsorption capacities of the reactive textile dyes.
