What is it about?
This study explores how tannery sludge, a waste product from leather production, can be treated using two processes: combustion and pyrolysis. By analyzing how the sludge breaks down at different temperatures, we aim to find efficient ways to manage this waste and potentially convert it into useful materials or energy. This research helps in reducing environmental pollution and promoting sustainable waste management practices.

Why is it important?
Unique Aspects: 1. Innovative Approach: This study uses non-isothermal thermogravimetric analysis to investigate the thermokinetic behavior of tannery sludge, which is a novel application in this field. 2. Dual Processes: The research explores both combustion and pyrolysis processes, providing a comprehensive understanding of the thermal degradation of tannery sludge. Timely Relevance: 1. Environmental Impact: With increasing concerns about waste management and environmental sustainability, this study addresses the critical issue of tannery waste disposal. 2. Energy Recovery: The findings could lead to new methods for energy recovery from industrial waste, contributing to sustainable energy solutions.
