Abstract

The process is characterised in that the pelts are pretreated with 0.5 to 2% by weight, preferably 0.7 to 1.2% by weight, of an aldehyde- or ketocarboxylic acid prior to tanning and are tanned in the customary manner, and tanning is then completed with 2 to 4.5% by weight of a mixture of chromium(III) salts, acid acceptors and aromatic di- or tricarboxylic acids or salts thereof.

Description

Die Chromgerbung ist ein wesentlicher Arbeitsschritt in der Lederherstellung. Bei herkömmlichen Verfahren werden zur Erzielung eines kochgaren Leders Chromsalze in einer Konzentration angeboten, die einem Äquivalent von 2 bis 2,5 Gew.-% Cr₂O₃ bezogen auf Blöße entsprechen. Hiervon werden jedoch nur 70 bis 80 % tatsächlich in der Haut dauerhaft fixiert, so daß 20 bis 30 % des angebotenen Chromgerbstoffs in das Abwasser gelangen.Chrome tanning is an essential step in leather production. In conventional methods, chromium salts are offered in a concentration which corresponds to an equivalent of 2 to 2.5% by weight of Cr 2 O 3, based on nakedness, in order to achieve a cookable leather. Of these, however, only 70 to 80% are actually permanently fixed in the skin, so that 20 to 30% of the chromium tannin offered ends up in the waste water.

Sowohl aus ökonomischen als auch ökologischen Gründen hat es daher in der Vergangenheit nicht an Versuchen gefehlt, die Chromfixierung in der Haut zu verbessern und die für eine kochgare Gerbung notwendige Chrommenge zu reduzieren.For economic and ecological reasons, there has been no shortage of attempts in the past to improve the chromium fixation in the skin and to reduce the amount of chromium required for cookable tanning.

So läßt sich durch Erhöhung des pH-Werts der Gerbflotte über das übliche Maß hinaus der Auszehrungsgrad der Chromgerbstoffe verbessern. Die gleichzeitig erhöhte Adstringenz der Chromgerbstoffe führt jedoch zu Narbenzug d.h. qualitativ minderwertigeren Ledern. Meist muß zusätzlich auch noch ein Flächenverlust in Kauf genommen werden.Thus, by increasing the pH of the tanning liquor beyond the usual level, the level of chromium tanning can be improved. However, the increased astringency of the chrome tanning agents leads to scarring i.e. lower quality leathers. In most cases, a loss of space also has to be accepted.

Desweiteren läßt sich durch Erhöhung der Temperatur der Gerbflotten von üblichen 38 bis 40 °C auf ca. 45 °C eine verbesserte Auszehrung der Chromgerbstoffe erreichen Die Temperaturerhöhung bringt jedoch ebenfalls einen Anstieg der Adstringenz der Chromgerbstoffe mit sich, so daß auch hier die Gefahr von Narbenzug und Rendementverlust, also der Qualitätsminderung des Leders gegeben ist.Furthermore, by increasing the temperature of the tanning liquors from the usual 38 to 40 ° C to approx. 45 ° C, an improved exhaustion of the chrome tanning agents can be achieved and loss of yield, i.e. the deterioration in the quality of the leather.

Aus der Literatur ist außerdem bekannt, daß aromatische Di­und Tricarbonsäuren wie z.B. Phthalsäure und/oder deren Salze im Pickel oder in der Chromgerbung eingesetzt werden, um eine bessere Fixierung des Chroms in der Haut zu erreichen. Werden sie im Pickel angewandt, bedingt dies jedoch eine deutliche Verminderung der Penetrationsgeschwindigkeit der nachfolgenden Chromgerbstoffe, eine ungleichmäßige Chromverteilung und bei stärkeren, ungespaltenen Blößen sogar in manchen Fällen eine unzureichende Durchgerbung. Sollen sie in der Chromgerbung eingesetzt werden, muß zur Minderung dieser Mängel die Gerbung meist zweistufig geführt werden, indem mit meist organisch maskiertem Chrom(III)-Sulfat-Gerbstoff eine bei niedrigem pH-Wert verlaufende milde Vorgerbung vorgenommen wird, der dann der Zusatz der aromatischen Di- und Tricarbonsäuren allein oder in Gegenwart weiteren Chromgerbstoffs und/oder eines Basifizierungsmittels folgt.It is also known from the literature that aromatic di- and tricarboxylic acids such as phthalic acid and / or their salts are used in pimples or in chrome tanning, to achieve a better fixation of the chromium in the skin. If they are used in the pimple, however, this leads to a significant reduction in the penetration speed of the subsequent chrome tanning agents, an uneven chrome distribution and, in the case of stronger, unsplit nakedness, even insufficient tanning in some cases. If they are to be used in chrome tanning, tanning must usually be carried out in two stages in order to reduce these deficiencies by using mild organic tanning which is carried out with mostly organically masked chromium (III) sulfate tanning agent and which is then carried out with the addition of aromatic di- and tricarboxylic acids follow alone or in the presence of further chrome tanning agent and / or a base agent.

Weiterhin bekannt ist ein Chromspar-Gerbverfahren (US 4,715,861), bei dem 0,1 bis 2 Gew.-% einer Aldehyd- oder Ketocarbonsäure, vorzugsweise Glyoxylsäure, vor der Gerbung im Pickelbad als Ersatz oder teilweiser Ersatz für die üblicherweise verwendete Schwefelsäure oder Ameisensäure eingesetzt werden. Die Chrom-Gerbung wird im gleichen Bad durchgeführt. Dieses Verfahren ergibt sehr weiche Leder mit fest anliegendem Narben und verbesserten physikalischen Eigenschaften. Die Auszehrung der Chromgerbflotten wird zwar deutlich verbessert, ohne aber den erhöhten Ansprüchen in allen Fällen zu genügen.Also known is a chrome-saving tanning process (US Pat. No. 4,715,861), in which 0.1 to 2% by weight of an aldehyde or keto carboxylic acid, preferably glyoxylic acid, is used as a replacement or partial substitute for the sulfuric acid or formic acid usually used before tanning in the pimple bath will. The chrome tanning is carried out in the same bath. This process results in very soft leather with tightly fitting scars and improved physical properties. The consumption of the chrome tanning liquor is improved significantly, but without meeting the increased demands in all cases.

Bekannt ist ein anderes Verfahren (US 4,042,321), das die wie üblich gepickelten Blößen mit Chrom(III)salzen vorgerbt, und zur Ausgerbung eine Mischung von Chrom(III)salzen, säurebindenden Mitteln (Dolomit, MgO, Alkali- und Erdalkalicarbonate und/oder Bicarbonate) und aromatischen Di- und Tricarbonsäuren (Phthalsäure, Isophthalsäure, Bernsteinsäure usw.), deren Salzen oder Anhydriden verwendet. Bei diesem Verfahren wird eine sehr gute Auszehrung der Chromgerbflotten erzielt. Die erhaltenen Leder aber sind meist schlecht färbbar, haben einen groben Narben und ein schlechtes Rendement.Another method is known (US Pat. No. 4,042,321), which pretannens the picks that are pecked as usual with chromium (III) salts, and for tanning a mixture of chromium (III) salts, acid-binding agents (dolomite, MgO, alkali metal and alkaline earth metal carbonates and / or Bicarbonates) and aromatic di- and tricarboxylic acids (phthalic acid, isophthalic acid, succinic acid etc.), their salts or anhydrides. This procedure is a very good one Exhaustion of the chrome tanning fleets achieved. However, the leather obtained is usually difficult to dye, has a coarse grain and poor yield.

Gegenstand der Erfindung ist ein Verfahren zur Chromspargerbung, bei dem man die Bößen vor der Gerbung mit 0,5 bis 2 Gew.-%, vorzugsweise 0,7 bis 1,2 Gew.-%, einer Aldehyd- oder Ketocarbonsäure vorbehandelt, in üblicher Weise gerbt und anschließend mit 1 bis 4,5 Gew.-%, vorzugsweise 1 bis 3 Gew.-%, einer Mischung aus Chrom(III)salzen, säurebindenden Mitteln und aromatischen Di- oder Tricarbonsäuren oder deren Salzen ausgerbt.The invention relates to a process for chromium-saving tanning, in which the bosses are pretreated with 0.5 to 2% by weight, preferably 0.7 to 1.2% by weight, of an aldehyde or ketocarboxylic acid before the tanning Tanned and then tanned with 1 to 4.5% by weight, preferably 1 to 3% by weight, of a mixture of chromium (III) salts, acid-binding agents and aromatic di- or tricarboxylic acids or their salts.

Als Aldehyd- oder Ketosäure kommt vorzugsweise Glyoxylsäure, aber auch Brenztraubensäure in Frage. Die Vorbehandlung mit diesen Säuren erfolgt aus wäßriger Flotte mit den obengenannten Konzentrationen. Man kann diese Vorbehandlung separat durchführen, zweckmäßigerweise kombiniert man diese Vorbehandlung mit diesen Säuren mit dem Pickel. Die Kombination mit dem Pickel hat auch den Vorteil, daß durch den Zusatz der genannten Säuren zum Pickel die üblicherweise dort mitverwendeten maskierenden Säuren wie Ameisensäure oder Essigsäure entfallen können. Der Pickel enthält ansonsten die hierfür üblichen Säuren und Salze in den üblichen Konzentrationen, beispielsweise 0,1 bis 2 Gew.-% Schwefelsäure (90 %ig). Diese Vorbehandlung dauert im allgemeinen 0,5 bis 20 Stunden.The preferred aldehyde or keto acid is glyoxylic acid, but also pyruvic acid. The pretreatment with these acids is carried out from an aqueous liquor with the above-mentioned concentrations. This pretreatment can be carried out separately, it is expedient to combine this pretreatment with these acids with the pimple. The combination with the pimple also has the advantage that the addition of the acids mentioned to the pimple eliminates the masking acids which are usually used there, such as formic acid or acetic acid. The pimple otherwise contains the usual acids and salts in the usual concentrations, for example 0.1 to 2% by weight sulfuric acid (90%). This pretreatment generally lasts 0.5 to 20 hours.

Die anschließende Chromgerbung geschieht mit den üblichen im Handel befindlichen Chrom(III)-Gerbstoffen nach den an sich bekannten Verfahren.The subsequent chrome tanning is carried out using the customary commercially available chromium (III) tannins according to the processes known per se.

Das Chromangebot, bezogen auf das Blößengewicht, beträgt hierbei im allgemeinen 0,8 bis 1,5 Gew.-%. Die Gerbzeit beträgt ca. 30 bis 180 Minuten. Als Chrom(III)-Salze für die Gerbung eignen sich die üblichen für die Chromgerbung einsetzbaren Chrom(III)-Salze, insbesondere Chrom(III)-­Sulfate, basische Chrom(III)-sulfate, ferner mit organischen Säuren, z.B. Ameisensäure, Essigsäure, maskierte Chrom(III)-Salze, selbstabstumpfende Chromgerbstoffe, die neben Chrom(III)-Salzen noch anorganische Salze, wie Natriumsulfat, enthalten, oder Umsetzungsprodukte von 6-wertigen Chromverbindungen mit Reduktionsmitteln.The chromium available, based on the pelt weight, is generally 0.8 to 1.5% by weight. The tanning time is approx. 30 to 180 minutes. As chromium (III) salts for The tanning is suitable for the chrome (III) salts which are customarily used for chrome tanning, in particular chromium (III) sulfates, basic chromium (III) sulfates, and also with organic acids, for example formic acid, acetic acid, and chromium (III) salts masked , self-dulling chromium tanning agents which, in addition to chromium (III) salts, also contain inorganic salts, such as sodium sulfate, or reaction products of hexavalent chromium compounds with reducing agents.

Im Anschluß an die eigentliche Gerbung erfolgt eine Ausgerbung durch Behandeln mit einer wäßrigen Lösung, die Chrom(III)-Salze, säurebindende Mittel und aromatische Di- oder Tricarbonsäuren oder deren Salze enthält.Following the actual tanning, the tanning is carried out by treatment with an aqueous solution which contains chromium (III) salts, acid-binding agents and aromatic di- or tricarboxylic acids or their salts.

Die zur Ausgerbung verwendeten Gemische enthalten als Chrom(III)-Salze bevorzugt Chromsulfate und basische Chromsulfate. Ferner sind auch maskierte Chrom(III)-Salze, insbeondere Chrom(III)-Sulfate, die zweckmäßig nur einen geringen Maskierungsgrad aufweisen, einsetzbar.The mixtures used for tanning preferably contain chromium sulfates and basic chromium sulfates as chromium (III) salts. Masked chromium (III) salts, in particular chromium (III) sulfates, which expediently only have a low degree of masking, can also be used.

Als säurebindende Mittel eignen sich z.B. Dolomit, Alkalicarbonate und -bicarbonate, Erdalkalicarbonate und -bicarbonate, Magnesiumoxid oder Natriumsulfit.Suitable acid-binding agents are e.g. Dolomite, alkali carbonates and bicarbonates, alkaline earth carbonates and bicarbonates, magnesium oxide or sodium sulfite.

Als Dolomit wird das mineralische Doppelsalz CaCO₃ · MgCO₃, das einen Gehalt von 20 bis 40 % CaO, vorzugsweise 25 bis 35 % CaO, und das einen Gehalt von 10 bis 25 ‰ MgO, vorzugsweise 16 bis 24 % MgO, aufweist, eingesetzt. Der Dolomit kann entweder für sich allein oder in Kombination mit anderen säurebindenden Stoffen eingesetzt werden, wobei der Gehalt der Gemische an Dolomit vorzugsweise mindestens 10 % der insgesamt verwendeten Menge an säurebindenden Mitteln betragen soll.The mineral double salt CaCO₃ · MgCO₃, which contains 20 to 40% CaO, preferably 25 to 35% CaO, and which has a content of 10 to 25 ‰ MgO, preferably 16 to 24% MgO, is used as dolomite. The dolomite can be used either alone or in combination with other acid-binding substances, the dolomite content of the mixtures preferably being at least 10% of the total amount of acid-binding agents used.

Besonders geeignet sind Gemische, die 10 bis 130 Gew.-% Dolomit pro 100 Gew.-% Cr₂O₃ enthalten. Die anzuwendende Dolomitmenge richtet sich nach der Basizität der eingesetzten Chrom(III)-Salze, ferner nach der Basizität, zu der diese Chrom(III)-Verbindungen im Verlauf der Gerbung geführt werden sollen, nach der Basizität und der Menge der in der Vorgerbung verwendeten Chrom(III)-Salze und nach der Menge der gegebenenfalls in der Mischung mitverwendeten weiteren säurebindenden Stoffe.Mixtures containing 10 to 130% by weight of dolomite per 100% by weight of Cr₂O₃ are particularly suitable. The amount of dolomite to be used depends on the basicity of the chromium (III) salts used, and also on the basicity to which these chromium (III) compounds are to be made in the course of the tanning, on the basicity and the amount of those used in the preliminary tanning Chromium (III) salts and according to the amount of other acid-binding substances which may be used in the mixture.

Aromatische Dicarbonsäuren und Tricarbonsäuren mit 8 bis 13 C-Atomen sind solche der Benzol- und Naphthalin-Reihe, die neben den Carboxyl-Gruppen noch Hydroxy-, Amino- oder Nitrogruppen und/oder Halogenatome enthalten können. Bevorzugt werden Phthalsäure und Isophthalsäure eingesetzt. Aromatische Di- und Tricarbonsäuren, die neben den Carboxyl-Gruppen noch Sulfonsäuregruppen enthalten, können nur bis zu etwa ein Drittel der insgesamt eingesetzten Carbonsäuremengen mitverwendet werden.Aromatic dicarboxylic acids and tricarboxylic acids with 8 to 13 carbon atoms are those of the benzene and naphthalene series which, in addition to the carboxyl groups, can also contain hydroxyl, amino or nitro groups and / or halogen atoms. Phthalic acid and isophthalic acid are preferably used. Aromatic di- and tricarboxylic acids, which contain sulfonic acid groups in addition to the carboxyl groups, can only be used up to about a third of the total amount of carboxylic acid used.

Die Carbonsäuren können sowohl in Form der freien Säuren, in Form von Gemischen der freien Säuren und den Salzen solcher Carbonsäuren, als auch allein in Form der Salze, zweckmäßig der Alkalimetallsalze angewendet werden. Bevorzugt werden pulverförmige Gemische der freien Carbonsäuren und deren Salze im Molverhältnis von 60:40 und 40:60 angewendet.The carboxylic acids can expediently be used both in the form of the free acids, in the form of mixtures of the free acids and the salts of such carboxylic acids and also solely in the form of the salts, the alkali metal salts. Powdery mixtures of the free carboxylic acids and their salts in a molar ratio of 60:40 and 40:60 are preferably used.

Die Ausgerbung erfolgt zweckmäßig im gleichen Bad durch Zugabe der Gemische in Pulverform. Die Komponenten der beanspruchten Gemische können bevorzugt gemeinsam zugegeben werden. Von diesen Komponenten können auch nur einige gemeinsam aber auch jede für sich zugegeben werden. Zweckmäßig werden die basischen Chrom(III)-Salze allein oder gemeinsam mit weiteren Komponenten zuerst zugegeben. Diese Chrom(III)-Salze können auch zusammen mit den zur Vorgerbung angewandten Chrom(III)-Salzen zugegeben werden.The tanning is expediently carried out in the same bath by adding the mixtures in powder form. The components of the claimed mixtures can preferably be added together. Only a few of these components can be added together, but also each individually. The basic chromium (III) salts are expediently added alone or together with further components. These chromium (III) salts can also be added together with the chromium (III) salts used for pretanning.

Die anzuwendenden Mengen der Gemische werden so bemessen, daß die insgesamt in der Vor- und Ausgerbung angebotene Cr₂O₃-Menge 1,2 bis 2 %, insbesondere 1,5 bis 1,8 % Cr₂O₃, bezogen auf Blößengewicht, beträgt und daß die aromatischen Di- und/oder Tricarbonsäuren mit 8-14 C-Atomen und/oder deren Salze wenigstens 1,0 Mol pro Mol Chromoxid der insgesamt sowohl für die Vorgerbung als auch für die Ausgerbung eingesetzten Chromgerbstoffe betragen.The amounts of the mixtures to be used are such that the total amount of Cr₂O₃ offered in the pretanning and retanning is 1.2 to 2%, in particular 1.5 to 1.8% Cr₂O₃, based on the weight of the skin, and that the aromatic di - And / or tricarboxylic acids with 8-14 carbon atoms and / or their salts amount to at least 1.0 mole per mole of chromium oxide of the total chrome tanning agents used both for pretanning and for tanning.

Die Ausgerbung wird mit einer Flotte im Flottenverhältnis von unter 100 %, vorzugsweise 10 bis 50 %, bezogen auf Blößengewicht, bei Temperaturen von ca. 36-45 °C vorgenommen. Die Gerbung wird so geführt, daß die Flotte am Ende der Gerbung einen pH-wert von über 3,6, insbesondere von 3,9 bis 4,5 aufweist. Die Ausgerbung dauert ungefähr 7 bis 12 Stunden.The tanning is carried out with a liquor in a liquor ratio of less than 100%, preferably 10 to 50%, based on the pelt weight, at temperatures of approx. 36-45 ° C. The tanning is carried out in such a way that at the end of the tanning the liquor has a pH of more than 3.6, in particular 3.9 to 4.5. The tanning process takes approximately 7 to 12 hours.

Die oben beschriebene Arbeitsweise empfiehlt sich besonders für dünnere Blößen. Bei dickeren Blößen ist es vorteilhaft, einen Teil der Mischung aus Chrom(III)-Salzen, säurebindenden Mitteln und aromatischen Di- oder Tricarbonsäuren vor der Vorgerbung dem Pickelbad zuzusetzen. Hierfür werden ca. 0,5 bis 2,5 Gew.-%, vorzugsweise 0,5 bis 1,5 Gew.-% bezogen auf Blöße genommen. Der Rest dieser Mischung, ca. 1,5 bis 2 Gew.-%, wird dann zur Ausgerbung verwendet wie oben beschrieben. Alle beschriebenen Arbeitsgänge lassen sich im selben Bad durchführen, man kann aber auch in mehreren getrennten Schritten arbeiten.The method of operation described above is particularly recommended for thinner nakedness. In the case of thicker pelts, it is advantageous to add part of the mixture of chromium (III) salts, acid-binding agents and aromatic di- or tricarboxylic acids to the pimple bath before the pretanning. For this, about 0.5 to 2.5% by weight, preferably 0.5 to 1.5% by weight, based on the nakedness, is used. The rest of this mixture, about 1.5 to 2 wt .-%, is then used for tanning as described above. All of the operations described can be carried out in the same bathroom, but you can also work in several separate steps.

Das nach diesem Verfahren erhaltene Leder ist kochgar, weich, festnarbig, extrem feinnarbig, gut färbbar mit hervorragenden physikalischen Eigenschaften und gutem Rendement.
