Abstract
In the present work, an attempt has been made to make leather waste into modified bitumen a pavement material through pyrolysis followed by solidification/stabilization process. The pyrolysed tannery buffing dust was characterized by SEM, FTIR, TGA and CHNS analyser. The pyrolysed TBD was effectively solidified/stabilized using aged bitumen. Pyrolysed solid tannery waste is made into modified bitumen and analysed for its Physical characteristics. The leachability of the stabilization of Cr (III) in the solidified matrix was confirmed through TCLP method. Thus, this study illustrates the recycling of buffing dust, a problematic waste in leather making to a societally useful material for road construction.
