Treatment methods include internal processes to reduce waste and external primary, secondary, and tertiary treatments. The document also discusses converting paper waste into wormcast through microorganism and earthworm action, and into lactic acid and ethanol through acid hydrolysis and yeast fermentation. For tanneries, it outlines the leather processing steps and chemicals used, and characteristics of wastewater. Methods covered include vermicomposting of solid wastes and biosorption of chromium and degradation of pentachlorophenol by microorganisms to produce a tanning cake
