Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to a composition for water free, pickle free chrome tanning of hides/skins for improved chrome tanning process.
- the present disclosure further relates to a process for chrome tanning using the said composition, whereby the tanning process is carried out as a waterless, salt free system without adding any additional medium.
- the present disclosure is envisaged to have tremendous application potential in the tanning industry to ensure eco-benign leather processing that does not add to environmental pollution.
- the present disclosure is therefore envisaged to play a crucial role in enhancing the economic and environmental benefits associated with chrome tanning.
- Salted hides and skins are the major raw materials for the tanning industry.
- the first operation carried out is the removal of salt in the hides and skins through repeated washings.
- the hair and flesh are loosened by treatment with lime and sodium sulfide or enzyme and then removed using knives.
- the hides and skins are then agitated with acid salts l ike ammonium chloride for removal of residual l ime.
- the operation is called deliming, which is usually carried out in tanning drum.
- the resulting del imed hides and skins are subjected to pickl ing using 1 0% salt (al l percentages mentioned are on the basis of weight of hides and skins) and 1 % mineral acid in the hitherto known process, in order to bring down the pH of the delimed stock, which is around 8.0 to 2.8 to 3.0 to facilitate uptake as well as penetration of chrome tanning salt (commonly known as basic chromium sulfate - BCS) in the cross section of the hides and skins to be tanned.
- chrome tanning salt commonly known as basic chromium sulfate - BCS
- Whi le the penetration of BCS in hides and skins during chrome tanning is carried out at pH 2.8 to 3.0, the same is raised to 3.8 to 4.0 for fixation, which is known as basification in the industry.
- Alkal ine salts of weak organic acids which are normally referred to as masking salts are added during chrome tanning process to prevent surface fixation of chromium in hides and skins. All these operations are carried out in aqueous medium. It is very important in this regard that a significant portion of the chemicals used in the process is let out in the effluent.
- the conventional chrome tanning process is associated with generation of enormous amount of waste water containing a lot of unabsorbed chemicals leading to significant pollution as well as disposal problem. This obviously leads to an alarming situation especially in view of the ever growing scarcity of usable water.
- the method of using this composition for tanning purpose involves use of alkali dissolved in water and added in feeds of equal installments to attain a pH of 4.0 - 4.2 in aqueous medium for completion of tanning wherein the acid liberated during hydrolysis of chromium is neutral ized.
- the major feature of using this composition in chrome tanning involves avoiding pickling Operation, thereby ensuring that effluent is not loaded with enormous salin ity as well as TDS.
- the main objective of the present disclosure is to provide a composition for water free, pickle free chrome tanning of hides/skins for improved chrome tanning process which obviates the limitations as stated above.
- Another objective of the present disclosure is to provide a process for chrome tanning without resorting to use of water for tanning.
- Yet another objective of the present disclosure is to provide a tanning process without resorting to pickling.
- the present disclosure provides a composition for water free, pickle free chrome tanning of hides/skins, wherein said composition comprises:
- alkali metal salt of organic acid having carbon chain of length in the range of one to three;
- composition has pH iin the range of 1 -6.
- Cr 2 0 3 : S0 4 ratio is in the range of 1 :2.2 to 1 :2.6.
- the alkali metal salt of organic acid used is selected from sodium formate, sodium acetate, sodium citrate.
- the polyhydric alcohol used is selected from sorbitol, mannitol, glycerine.
- the ratio of polyhydric alcohol and basic chromium sulfate is in the range of 0.3 : 1 to 1 : 1 .
- the acid used for acidification of polyhydric alcohol is selected from sulfuric acid, acetic acid, formic acid.
- sti ll another embodiment of the present disclosure a process for chrome tanning characterized in that it uses the said composition, wherein the steps comprise treatment of del imed hide/skin with 1 0 to 20% w/w of the said composition for a period in the range of 1 - 1 2 hours, preferably under stirring condition to obtain the chrome tanned hide/skin.
- Basic chromium sulfate is mixed with alkali metal salt of organic acid having carbon chain of length one to three in a ratio in the range of 1 :0.25 to 1 :0.5 and then mixed with acidified polyhydric alcohol, characterized by carbon chain length of 3-6, adjusted at a pH in the range of 1 -6.
- the amount of polyhydric alcohol is in a ratio 0.3 : 1 to 1 : 1 with basic chromium sulfate.
- the mixture is preferably subjected to stirring for a period of 20 minutes to obtain the novel tanning composition.
- the composition exhibits the fol lowing characteristics:
- pH of the dispersion 1 -6.
- Preferable proportion of basic chromium sulfate and alkali metal salt of organic acid is 1 :0.25 to 1 :0.5. > Cr 2 0 3 : S0 4 ratio is 1 :2.2 to 1 :2.6
- the composition is used for chrome tanning. Delimed hides and skins are treated with 10-20 % w/w, of the novel tanning composition without addition of water under agitation for a period of I - 12 hrs to get chrome tanned hide/skin.
- the inventive step of the present invention l ies in providing a dispersion to enable the chrome tanning process to be carried out not only without adding water, but also eliminating the pickl ing and basification operations.
- composition was then used for chrome tanning of delimed goat skins.
- composition was then used for chrome tanning of del imed sheep skins. 10 delimed sheep skins weighing 8 kilos were taken in a tanning drum. The skins were then agitated with the above composition for 8 hours to complete chrome tanning.
- pH of the dispersion 1 .0
- composition was then used for chrome tanning of delimed cow hides.
- the process is cost effective and environmental ly friendly.
