Abstract

  The wastewater has a high chromium concentration during the tanning and washing stage. Water is dumped into the sea in some countries. The application of novel alginate-based biomaterialswith unique gelling properties is the focus of the current investigation. When polycations are present, gels occur. These gels can be partially replaced by other metal cations, which allow the effluent to be somewhat diluted. The work focuses on developing and applying microcapsules as a viable option for wastewater treatmentto remove heavy metals. The synthesized biomaterial was tested to depollute wastewater from a tannery in a batch reactor. The absorption process was carried out at a pH of 5.8 and a temperature of 26°C. This survey carried demonstrates that heavy metals do not contribute to environmental pollution except for the level ofchromium VI (7.16 mg/L), which is higher than that envisaged The wastewater has a high chromium concentration during the tanning and washing stage.
