Abstract
The tannery is an essential industry process today. Its product is a natural hide. Some of the leather properties (such as softness, plasticity, stability, absorption) cannot be replaced by any artificial material. Currently, majority of a solid waste from the chromium tanning is land filled. This paper deals with an analysis of a semi-batch chemical reactor for chromium sludge (chromium filter cake) recovery. The reactor is used for the chromium filter cake (i.e. product of an enzymatic hydrolysis obtained from the chromium waste) processing and the analysis is performed from the control theory point of view by simulation means mainly to obtain useful information for sub-sequent optimal control design. A mathematical model of the system is derived and all variables are defined together with their physical values and limits. Further, steady-state and dynamical behaviour is studied by simulation means. Possible control strategies are discussed at the end of the contribution together with areas for possible future research.
