Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of leather technology, and in particular to a high-utilization eco-friendly leather manufacturing process. Background Technology

[0002] Leather tanning is a process that involves removing hair and non-collagen fiber components from raw hides, loosening the collagen fibers, tanning them into leather, and then subjecting them to a series of chemical (including biochemical) and mechanical treatments, such as wet dyeing and dry finishing. Traditional leather tanning processes use leather chemicals containing sulfur, chromium, and chlorine, which not only result in large volumes of wastewater discharge and complex, difficult-to-treat pollutants, but also negatively impact the ecological performance of the tanning process and leather products. Furthermore, it leads to low resource utilization value of byproducts and waste, thus affecting the utilization rate of raw hide resources.

[0003] Meanwhile, due to the irregular shape of the raw hide, the thickness and collagen fiber weaving tightness vary in different parts, and there are certain differences between individuals. Taking cowhide as an example, the rump is the thickest, and the abdomen is the thinnest, with the rump being about twice the thickness of the abdomen, while the neck and back are in between. The collagen fiber weaving also follows the same pattern, with the rump having the tightest weave and a higher weave angle, the abdomen having a looser weave and a lower weave angle, and the neck and back being in between. Since leather processing is a standardized process, this inevitably leads to some parts being over-processed and others under-processed.

[0004] The leather-making process can be considered as removal (of useless materials), tanning, and addition (of useful materials). During removal, dense areas are difficult to remove, requiring the addition of excessive chemical materials. This can lead to over-removal of thin and loose areas, making them even looser and thinner. In the dyeing and finishing stage, when fillers and fatliquoring agents need to be added again, loose areas require even more chemical materials, which is excessive for dense areas. This results in low absorption rates of chemical materials, wasting the added raw materials and increasing the pollutant content in the wastewater. This leads to excessively high production and wastewater treatment costs, resulting in significant economic losses. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention provides a high-utilization eco-friendly leather manufacturing process to solve the technical problems of low utilization rates of raw material resources and chemical raw materials, and low resource utilization value of by-products and waste in existing leather making. It achieves uniformity of the whole hide, requires less chemical addition, is easy to operate, and reduces the trimming process.

[0006] The present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A high-utilization eco-friendly leather manufacturing process, using salted wet cowhide as raw material, includes the following steps: pre-soaking → fleshing → main soaking → enzymatic hair removal → liming → regularization → splitting → deliming → softening → pre-tanning → pickling → main tanning → settling → chromium-free retanning → neutralization → filling and dyeing → fatliquoring → coloring → squeezing and stretching → drying → rewetting → softening → flattening → finishing → finished leather;

[0008] The above pre-soaking process is as follows: First, put the salted wet cowhide into the drum, add water, control the liquid ratio at 1.5-2.0, rotate at 3 rpm, and keep the temperature at room temperature; second, add 0.1% of the penetrant Desoagen WT-H (Sichuan Desai'er Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.), 0.1% of the bactericide ME (BASF, Germany), 0.2% of the degreasing agent FG-B (Sichuan Dawei Technology Co., Ltd.), and 0.3% of the soda ash, rotate for 10 minutes, stop for 30 minutes, repeat 4-6 times, stop the drum overnight, and the next day, rotate for 30 minutes and drain.

[0009] The above process involves feeding 7-8 hides per minute to remove the subcutaneous membrane from the main parts of the hide, leaving the meat surface whitish, with only a small amount of membrane remaining at the edges and corners, and cleaning the hair surface thoroughly. Also, remove any meat scraps, whiskers, cow tail, ears, and hooves around the hide.

[0010] The above-mentioned main soaking process is as follows: First, the pre-soaked leather is placed into the drum, water is added, the liquid ratio is controlled at 1.8-2.0, the rotation speed is 3 rpm, and the temperature is room temperature; Second, 0.3-0.5% of Desoagen WT-H (Sichuan Desai'er Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.), 0.3-0.5% of Dowelleym SD (Sichuan Dawei Technology Co., Ltd.), 0.1-0.3% of ME (BASF, Germany), 0.1-0.3% of FG-B (Sichuan Dawei Technology Co., Ltd.), and 0.2-0.4% of soda ash are added. The drum is rotated for 10 minutes and stopped for 20 minutes, repeated 4-6 times, then rotated for 10 minutes and stopped for 50 minutes, repeated 6-8 times. The drum is then left to stand overnight. The next day, the drum is rotated for 30 minutes, and the water is drained.

[0012] The above-mentioned liming process: After hair removal, add water to make the liquid ratio reach 2.0-2.5, and add 0.15-0.2% of dissolved sodium hydroxide while rotating. First rotate for 60 minutes, then rotate for 5 minutes and stop at 55 degrees Celsius. Repeat this process 4-6 times, stop the drum and let it sit overnight. The next day, rotate for 30 minutes and drain the water.

[0013] The above-mentioned standardization involves: trimming off the edges and corners of the raw hide after soaking in ash to form a more regular rectangle; collecting the trimmed scraps and extracting collagen or collagen aggregates;

[0014] The above splitting process is carried out on a splitting machine with a leather supply speed of approximately 7-8 sheets / min. The thickness of the top-grain grey leather is determined according to a grey leather to blue wet leather ratio of approximately 1.0:0.7, which is generally 2.2-2.4mm. The thickness of the entire leather is basically consistent.

[0015] The above deashing process is as follows: First, the cleaned and split limed bare skin is placed into a rotating drum, with the liquid ratio controlled at 2.0-2.2, the rotation speed at 5-6 rpm, and the internal temperature at 28-29℃. 0.3% of deashing agent TM (Sichuan Desail Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.) is added, and the drum is rotated for 15 minutes.

Finally, the pH of the bath solution was measured to be 3.4-3.6, and the temperature was 50-55℃. The bath was then rinsed with 300% hot water at 55℃ for 10 minutes, and the solution was drained.

[0024] The above color matching process is carried out in the same drum as the fatliquoring process. Water is added, the bath liquid ratio is controlled at 1.5, the rotation speed is 15 rpm, and the drum internal temperature is 60℃. 1% of chromium-free multi-metal complex tanning agent (zirconium aluminum titanium complex tanning agent CAT, Mianzhu Jinkun Chemical Co., Ltd.) is added, and the drum is rotated for 20 min. Next, 0.8-1.5% of dye NB (Beijing Fanbo Chemical Co., Ltd.) is added, and the drum is rotated for 15 min. 0.8% of formic acid diluted with 10 times the amount of cold water is added, and the drum is rotated for 15 min.

The drum is washed twice with 200% room temperature water for 10 min each time. The water is drained, the drum is removed, and the drum is connected.

[0025] The above-mentioned water-squeezing and stretching process is carried out on a reciprocating water-squeezing and stretching machine at a pressure of 30 bar and a feeding speed of 5-25 m / min. The moisture content of the raw leather after treatment is 50-55%.

[0026] The drying process is as follows: First, vacuum drying is carried out in a vacuum dryer (fog plate) with the following parameters: temperature 45℃, time 500s, negative pressure 23-26Mbar, and the moisture content of the raw leather is 23-30%. Second, hanging drying is carried out on a hanging drying line for 24 hours, and the moisture content of the raw leather is less than 14% after drying. Finally, drying is carried out in a constant temperature and humidity oven with the following oven temperatures for the three stages: 37℃, 42℃, and 48℃, oven humidity of approximately 33%, drying time of approximately 12 hours, drying time of 6 minutes and dehumidification time of 10 minutes. After the process, the raw leather is smooth and the moisture content is approximately 7-9%.

[0027] The above-mentioned rehumidification and softening process involves the following steps: First, the dried raw leather undergoes a rehumidification treatment, aiming for a moisture content of approximately 28-32%. Second, it is softened using a vibrating softening machine with the following process parameters: conveyor speed 9.5 m / min, 5 stages, resulting in a raw leather moisture content of 28%–32%. Subsequently, it is softened by tumbling in a stainless steel octagonal tumbling drum with the following process parameters: drum speed 15 r / min, drum temperature 25-30℃, time 6 hours, automatic intermittent forward and reverse rotation, resulting in a raw leather moisture content of 20%–25%.

[0031] In a further improvement, the scraps obtained after the above-mentioned regularization and the second layer of leather obtained after splitting are used to make leather collagen fiber aggregates or industrial collagen.

[0032] Method for producing skin collagen fiber aggregates: deliming → softening → acid soaking → drying and slitting → skin collagen fiber aggregates. The deliming, softening, acid soaking, and drying processes can be performed according to the above steps, and the aggregates can be cut into the appropriate specifications as needed.

[0042] As can be seen from the above description of the structure of the present invention, compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0043] 1. This application uses sulfur-free hair removal (compound enzyme + keratinase + tourmaline powder), salt-free pickling (first F-90 pre-tanning, then pickling without adding salt), and chromium-free tanning (organic tanning + vegetable tanning) / retanning technology (aldehyde tanning + metal tanning). The patented technology can guarantee the process effect and solve the problem of introducing harmful chemical materials from the source.

[0044] 2. The wet dyeing and finishing and dry finishing processes of this application adopt a simplified process with less filler and grease. Due to the reasonable combination, the cost is low, but the performance is good and can meet the production requirements. The coating system is water-based, with less VOC generation. Graphene is introduced into the coating agent, resulting in low coating amount and good coating effect.

[0045] 3. This application introduces a standardization process, cutting irregular cowhide into regular rectangles (reducing the area by approximately 1 / 4), resulting in more consistent thickness and a more uniform density of collagen fiber weaving. This makes subsequent processing more controllable and easier to handle. Since special areas do not require special treatment, the amount of chemicals used is reduced by approximately 1 / 3, while the resulting samples exhibit better sensory and physical-mechanical properties. Due to the more standardized shape, trimming is virtually unnecessary, reducing the number of steps and waste generated from trimming (0.5-1 kg of trimming waste per hide).

[0046] 4. Combining 1 and 2, the scraps obtained from regularization and the split leather obtained from splitting are free of chromium and sulfur, and have higher use value. They can be used to extract higher quality skin collagen aggregates and industrial collagen products, thereby increasing the added value of scraps and split leather.

[0047] 5. Traditional chrome tanning produces hazardous industrial solid waste. The shavings produced by the patented technology of this application are chromium-free, non-toxic, easy to handle, and can be degraded using conventional methods to extract industrial collagen, thus having a wider range of applications.
