Abstract(s)

(Introduction) Leather finished wastes resulting from the footwear manufacturing process are generated. Most of this waste is contaminated with chromium. Energetic valorization is one alternative to landfilling that must be evaluated, taking into account the current importance of energy. In this way, three technologies can be compared to evaluate this alternative: incineration, gasification, and pyrolysis. In recent years, a lot of research work has been done to evaluate the application of these technologies to leather solid waste.
