    Abstract
  • In a beamhouse, liming plays a key role in the removal of hair/wool and epidermis, but problems are created when waste liming sludge is discharged to the environment. The treatment of tannery wastewater is another major challenge to the industry. In this study, thermally-activated biochars derived from liming sludge were studied for their effective adsorption of chromium (Cr) from the tannery wastewater. The thermally activated biochars (B500, B550, B600, and B650) were prepared at different temperatures from the liming sludge. Their characteristics before and after the treatment were investigated using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, BrunauereEmmetteTeller, and scanning electron microscopy analyses. The related functional groups (C-H, O-H, C-N, and =C-O) and chromium adsorption capacity were determined according to the surface morphology, element contents (C, O, Ca, Na, Al, Mg, and Si), surface area (5.8-9.2 m2/g), pore size (5.22-5.53 nm), and particle size (652-1 034 nm) of the experimental biochars. The biochar originated at 600 C from the tannery liming sludge (B600) had a greater surface area with a chromium adsorption capacity of 99.8% in comparison to B500, B550, and B650 biochars. This study developed an innovative way of utilizing liming sludge waste to minimize the pollution load and wastewater treatment cost in the tannery industry.
