AI Technical Summary
The ligand effects of existing chromium-free metal tanning agents are not good, resulting in insufficient environmental protection and performance improvement in leather production.
Castor oil is used as a bio-based carrier, which reacts with (2-chloroethoxy)cyclopropane and 6-chloropyridine-3-carboxaldehyde to generate bio-based ligands. Aluminum sulfate is added as a tanning agent during the tanning process, and the pre-rubbing effect of the leather is improved through the action of epoxy groups and aldehyde groups.
This improved the mechanical strength and heat shrinkage temperature of the leather, resulting in better tanning effects.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of leather tanning, and more specifically to a bio-based ligand for chromium-free metal tanning agents. Background Technology
[0002] Tanning is a crucial step in leather production. Currently, tanning primarily uses chromium-containing tanning agents. However, chromium tanning agents cause significant pollution after use, leading to the gradual replacement with chromium-free tanning agents and other metal tanning agents. However, the performance of other metal tanning agents is not as good as that of chromium tanning agents, thus requiring the addition of other ligands. Bio-based ligands have excellent advantages in the environmental protection field, but their ligand effects are relatively poor. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this invention is to provide a bio-based ligand for chromium-free metal tanning agents.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0005] A bio-based ligand for chromium-free metal tanning agents,
[0006] It is produced by the following steps:
[0007] Step 1: Take a hydroxyl-containing bio-based compound, dissolve it in a solvent, and add a catalyst;
[0008] Step 2: Place the above solution in an ice bath, and add halogenated hydrocarbons containing epoxy groups and halogenated hydrocarbons containing aldehyde groups to react;
[0009] Step 3: After washing the reaction product, collect the organic phase, evaporate the solvent, and pass it through a chromatographic column to obtain the bio-based ligand.
[0010] As a further improvement of the present invention
[0011] The hydroxyl-containing bio-based compound is castor oil.
[0012] As a further improvement of the present invention
[0013] The epoxy-containing halogenated hydrocarbon is (2-chloroethoxy)cyclopropane.
[0014] As a further improvement of the present invention
[0015] The aldehyde-containing haloalkane is 6-chloropyridine-3-carboxaldehyde.
[0016] As a further improvement of the present invention
[0017] The catalyst is triethylamine.
[0018] As a further improvement of the present invention
[0019] The solvent is dichloromethane.
[0020] As a further improvement of the present invention
[0021] It is produced by reacting the following parts by mass:
[0022] Castor oil: 100-200 parts
[0023] (2-Chloroethoxy)cyclopropane: 10–25 parts
[0024] 6-Chloropyridine-3-carboxaldehyde: 5-15 parts
[0025] Triethylamine: 10-20 parts.
[0026] As a further improvement of the present invention
[0027] The reaction time for step two is 20–30 hours.
[0028] As a further improvement of the present invention
[0029] Step three specifically involves:
[0030] The prepared solution was washed with deionized water, saturated sodium bicarbonate solution, and hydrochloric acid solution. The organic phase was collected, the solvent was evaporated, and then the solution was passed through a chromatographic column with ethyl acetate / petroleum ether at a ratio of 1:4 to 8 to obtain the bio-based ligand.
[0031] The beneficial effects of this invention are that it mainly uses castor oil as a bio-based carrier. Through the reaction of (2-chloroethoxy)cyclopropane and 6-chloropyridine-3-carboxaldehyde with castor oil, (2-chloroethoxy)cyclopropane and 6-chloropyridine-3-carboxaldehyde contain halogenated groups, and castor oil has a large number of hydroxyl groups, thus the reaction occurs, resulting in a large number of epoxy groups and aldehyde groups on the castor oil molecule, which can be used as a pre-rubbing agent to pre-rub leather.
[0032] Furthermore, the addition of aluminum sulfate as a tanning agent during the subsequent tanning process achieved good results. Both mechanical strength and heat shrinkage temperature were significantly improved. Detailed Implementation

[0034] Step 1: Take 100g of castor oil, dissolve it in 200ml of dichloromethane, and add 20g of triethylamine;
[0035] Step 2: Place the above solution in an ice bath, add 20g of de(2-chloroethoxy)cyclopropane and 10g of de6-chloropyridine-3-carboxaldehyde to react;
[0036] Step 3: Wash the above-reacted solution with deionized water, saturated sodium bicarbonate solution, and hydrochloric acid solution, collect the organic phase, evaporate the solvent, and then pass it through a chromatographic column with an ethyl acetate / petroleum ether solution of 1:5 to obtain the bio-based ligand.
