Resumo(s)
Most of the leather used by the footwear industry (more than 70%) is produced from skins and hides tanned with chromium sulphate [1]. The production of leather goods, especially shoes, gives rise to wastes that amount to 15 – 20% of the entry leather [2]. As an example, the European footwear industry generates between 1x105 to 2x105 tons per year of leather wastes [1]. In the last few years, various investigations have been carried out in order to find alternatives to the disposal of these residues in landfills. Several processes have been developed to treat the leather residues that include, among others, combustion, pyrolysis, chemical treatment (oxidation and hydrolysis) or direct application of the wastes [2]. Pyrolysis is the thermal degradation of wastes, in the presence of an inert atmosphere, producing a solid phase (biochar), a liquid phase (bio-oil) and a gas phase composed mainly of CO2, CO, CH4 and H2 [3]. Several authors have reported work on the pyrolysis of chromium tanned leather wastes [4, 5, 6]. [...]
