Wastewater from tanning industries is one of the major contributors to the pollution in aquatic systems. Tannery industries have always contributed to the world’s economy and trade despite facing criticism due to environmental pollution. Tanning effluent consists of organic, inorganic (chromium, nitrogenous compounds), and a large amount of solid content like TDS, TSS, TVS. To overcome these significant challenges, there have been few advancements related to tannery wastewater treatment. This article aims to provide a brief review on electrocaogulation based treatment technologies for eliminating the impurities from tannery wastewater. This review consists of the background with characteristics of tannery wastewater, the alternatives for treating the tannery effluent over the years along. A detailed description of the advanced technologies based on electrocoagulations is implemented to overcome the drawbacks of the existing methods.}, type={Article}, title={Potential of electrocoagulation technology for the treatment of tannery industrial effluents: A brief review}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/124701/PDF/art12_int.pdf}, doi={10.24425/cpe.2022.140824}, keywords={tannery wastewater, alternative treatment methods, advanced electrocoagulation, hybrid/integrated approaches}, }
