The invention provides an ultrasonic wave and
microwave assisted pass-
type metal salt tanning method. The method comprises the following four steps: (1) regulating the pH value of pickled pelt firstly to be at least 3.5, extruding by adopting a roller type extruding
machine, and regulating the distance between the
extrusion rollers to be 40%-60% of the initial thickness of the pickled pelt; (2) enabling the grain side of the pickled pelt after
extrusion to face downwards to pass through a
metal salt tanning solution containing
sodium chloride, tanning under the action of 40 KHz ultrasonic
waves for at least 1 min, extruding the crust leather by adopting the roller type extruding
machine, and further regulating the distance between the
extrusion rollers to be 40%-60% of the initial thickness of the pelt; (3) repeating the operations in the step (2) for 1-3 times, and no longer extruding by adopting the roller type extruding
machine after the last time tanning; and (4) performing heat preservation on the crust leather after the completion of operations in the step (3) in a
microwave field for at least 2 min at the heat preservation temperature of 30-60 DEG C. The ultrasonic wave and
microwave assisted pass-
type metal salt tanning method is applicable to tanning adopting various
metal salts, the tanning time is short, and the physical and
chemical property of the obtained leather have no obvious difference compared with that obtained by adopting the conventional method; besides, the tanning solution in the method is recyclable, and waste water containing a tanning agent is not discharged during the tanning process.
