This work evaluated the technical and sustainable feasibility for recovering chromium from tannery wastewater, precipitatingand regenerating it for reuse in the same process. Its implementation minimizes water pollution with chromium andreduces production costs.Chromium in wastewater was reduced below 1.0 mg/L (permissible limit) using 4 M sodium hydroxide, allowing reuseof water after conventional treatment with poly aluminum chloride and chloride, reducing significantly its consumption.Chromium concentration is determined by spectrophotometer and low concentration by atomic absorption.It was founded that recovered and commercial basic chromium sulfate can be mixed in proportion 40%/60% respectively,for tanning leather for school and tailored shoes. Quality of the leather obtained was determined through shrinkage testsand flexing resistance.Implementing the process involves low investment in equipment, which can be recovered in short time due to the sustainabilityof the process.
