Chrome free organic tannages and molecular level understanding of the tanning process for the production of leather with high hydrothermal stability

چکیده
It is rather strange that today I am talking about chrome-free tannages when I have devoted my whole life to improving the chrome-tanning system. When I was a student, I wondered why chrome tanned leather that stood the boil, did so only for about 1 to 2 minutes. My ambition was to find out how leather could be treated like textile, and we discovered and patented a product and process for improving the hydrothermal stability of chrome-tanned leather. This patent showed how chrome tanned leather could be boiled like textile for an hour without area loss. At LASRA we have also developed LASRA ThruBlu and modified ThruBlu processes to minimise the environmental impact of chrome tanning.

A Study on removal of chromium from tannery effluent treatment of chrome tanning waste water using tannery solid waste
This study illustrates the process of removal of chromium from chrome tanning waste-water by fly ash which was drive from chrome shaving dust. This experiment was carried out in a batch process with laboratory prepared adsorbent samples and chrome tanning water collected from local tanneries. The influence of various factors likes adsorbent doses, contact time, and initial concentration of chro...
متن کاملA Novel Nano-SiO2 Tannage for Making Chrome-Free Leather
A novel pickle less combination tannage based on nano-SiO2 and oxazolidine as a substitute for chrome tanning has been developed. The size and distribution of nano-SiO2 in protein, the hydrothermal stability, the mechanical properties and the antifungal effect of final leather as well as the evaluation of eco-friendly characteristics of combination tannage were investigated. Scanning Electric M...

Introduction: Harmful effects of environmental pollutants and their environmental impacts necessitate revention of the pollution emission from various industries. Leather industry is one of the most polluting industries, with chromium compounds as an important contamination, widely used in the tanning process. The present study aimed to determine the causes of high chromium concentration from l...
متن کاملEffect of sodium chloride on structure of collagen fiber network in pickling and tanning
Tannery wastewater usually contains a high salinity due to the use of sodium chloride (NaCl) in curing and pickling. Although some no-pickle tanning and salt-free pickling technologies were developed, few of them have been widely used due to relatively poor mechanical and bulk properties of the resultant leather. Therefore, the role of NaCl in pickling and tanning should be elucidated in the fi...
متن کاملValorization of titanium metal wastes as tanning agent used in leather industry.
The development of new tanning agents and new technologies in the leather sector is required to cope with the increasingly higher environmental pressure on the current tanning materials and processes such as tanning with chromium salts. In this paper, the use of titanium wastes (cuttings) resulting from the process of obtaining highly pure titanium (ingots), for the synthesis of new tanning age...
