Cianyde in effluents Round table: some aspects of the current problem of tanning effluents

Held at the 3rd National Technical Symposium of the Tanning Industry, November 26, 2010.

Key Words: Effluents, Cyanide, TCMTB

ABSTRACT

This round table deals with the problems occurring in 2010, when cyanide concentration values in effluents from tanneries turned out to be higher than permitted.
There was a review of cyanide types, of the test techniques employed, of any possible interference, of products employed in tannery that may have a positive response, and the operations that may cause cyanide to occur in effluents.
