Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of leather manufacturing, in particular to a preparation method of a rare earth zeolite tanning agent and a plant-rare earth zeolite combined tanning process. Background Art

[0002] Tanning, as the core link of the leather making process, is centered on the deep integration of skin collagen fibers and tanning agents to achieve a qualitative change from skin to leather. Since Friedrich Knapp revealed the tanning properties of chromium in 1858, chrome tanning has long dominated the leather making industry by giving leather excellent resistance to moisture and heat, water washing, and excellent extensibility, softness and full elasticity. However, this traditional process has significant drawbacks: low chromium utilization (only 65%-75%), resulting in serious waste of resources and environmental pollution, unbound Cr (III) may be converted into highly toxic Cr (VI), endangering human health and ecological safety; in addition, chrome tanned leather is difficult to degrade naturally, which aggravates environmental pressure. In addition, the scarcity and uneven distribution of chromium resources, as well as the secondary pollution of the environment caused by the large-scale use of neutral salts in traditional processes, all pose major challenges to the sustainable development of the industry.

[0003] Vegetable tanning, as an ancient and environmentally friendly tanning method, has many advantages: ① Environmental protection: Vegetable tanned leather contains only pure natural animal and plant ingredients, does not contain heavy metals, benzene, phenol and other harmful ingredients, and conforms to modern environmental protection concepts; ② Naturalness: Vegetable tanned leather retains the grain and gloss of the leather itself, is naturally simple, and has a unique texture and color; ③ Wearability: With the improvement of leather making technology, the feel and wearability of vegetable tanned leather have been significantly improved. It has good air permeability and moisture absorption and is comfortable to wear; ④ Plasticity: Vegetable tanned leather has good plasticity in a wet state, which is convenient for various shapes and designs.

[0004] Although vegetable tanned leather has many advantages, it also has some disadvantages that cannot be ignored: ① Low shrinkage temperature: The shrinkage temperature of vegetable tanned leather is relatively low, generally only more than 70 degrees, which means that in a high temperature environment, its dimensional stability is poor and it is easy to deform; ② Easy to grow mold: Because vegetable tanned leather contains more natural ingredients and has a loose fiber structure, it is easy to breed mold. In a humid environment, if it is not properly maintained, vegetable tanned leather is prone to mold and deterioration, affecting its appearance and service life. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to overcome the above problems, the present invention provides a method for preparing a rare earth zeolite tanning agent and a plant-rare earth zeolite combined tanning process, which significantly enhances the tanning effect while maintaining the excellent properties of vegetable tanned leather, greatly improves the shrinkage temperature of vegetable tanned white wet leather, and at the same time gives the vegetable tanned white wet leather good antibacterial properties.

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

[0007] A method for preparing a rare earth zeolite tanning agent comprises the following steps:

[0008] 1) dissolving rare earth oxide La2O3 (purity>99.9%) in hydrochloric acid with a concentration ratio of 1:1, evaporating to near dryness, and obtaining rare earth chloride LaCl3·6H2O;

[0009] 2) Dissolve 0.15 mol L-phenylalanine (Phe) and 0.05 mol 1,10-phenanthroline (Phen) in 500 ml ethanol-water solution respectively, mix the two and heat them in a water bath, add 0.05 mol LaCl3·6H2O in 500 ml ethanol-water solution when the solution boils, reflux in a water bath for 6 hours, and let stand overnight;

[0010] 3) Evaporating in a water bath until it becomes viscous, precipitating and crystallizing, washing with acetone, and drying to obtain a rare earth organic complex La(Phe)3PhenCl3·3H2O;

[0011] 4) Add zeolite in a mass ratio of 1:4, mix and grind into powder to obtain a rare earth zeolite tanning agent.

[0012] A plant-rare earth zeolite combined tanning process, comprising the following steps: normal mass production pickling bare leather → fatty aldehyde pre-tanning → vegetable tanning → rare earth zeolite tanning agent combined tanning La(Phe)3PhenCl3·3H2O → alkali extraction → washing, drumming, horse riding, standing → vegetable tanned white wet leather; the details are as follows:

[0013] The rotary drum is put into large-scale production to pickle bare leather, control the pickling liquid ratio to 50%, add 2% of fatty aldehyde PF (Sima Chemical (China) Co., Ltd.), rotate for 60 minutes; add 1% of sodium formate, rotate for 15 minutes, add 1% of baking soda, rotate for 50 minutes, measure the pH value at 4.0-4.2, and drain; add 30% of water, 2% of fish oil MIR90, rotate for 30 minutes; add 10%-25% of vegetable tannin ATO (Shihua Technology Co., Ltd.), rotate for 5-8 hours; add 4%-6% of rare earth zeolite tanning agent, rotate for 2-3 hours; add 1% of sodium formate, rotate for 15 minutes, add 1.5% of baking soda, rotate for 60 minutes, measure the pH value at 4.8-5.0, and drain; wash with water, remove from the drum, mount, and let stand to obtain vegetable tanned white wet leather.

[0014] It can be seen from the above description of the present invention that, compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0015] 1. Rare earth ions, L-phenylalanine, and o-phenanthroline all have certain antibacterial properties, and the antibacterial activity of the complexes they form is better than that of single ligands and rare earth ions. This is mainly due to the synergistic effect between rare earth ions and ligands. They have good antibacterial effects at low concentrations and do not produce drug resistance. They are less toxic than many traditional antibacterial organic synthetics or transition metal complexes.

[0016] 2. Rare earth elements have unique electronic structures and chemical properties. They react chemically with leather collagen fibers to form stable chemical bonds. The formation of these chemical bonds strengthens the binding force between leather fibers, plays a tanning role, and makes the leather stronger and more durable. The distribution of rare earth elements in leather also plays a certain physical filling role, making the leather structure more compact, thereby increasing the density and strength of the leather. When rare earth elements are used in combination with other tanning agents (such as chrome tanning agents, vegetable tanning agents, etc.), they will produce a synergistic effect. This synergistic effect can further enhance the performance of the leather, such as improving the softness, fullness and elasticity of the leather.

[0017] 3. Zeolite is a hydrated aluminosilicate of alkali metal or alkaline earth metal with silicon-oxygen tetrahedron and aluminum-oxygen tetrahedron structures. It reacts with leather collagen fibers and vegetable tanning agents to form an interpenetrating network structure, which enhances the binding force between the tanning agent and leather collagen. The resulting leather's resistance to water washing, resistance to organic solvents and shrinkage temperature are greatly improved, reflecting a good synergistic tanning effect.

[0018] 4. Natural vegetable tanning, does not contain heavy metals, formaldehyde, benzene, phenol and other harmful ingredients, and has the advantages of non-toxic, low pollution and biodegradable.

[0019] 5. The plant-rare earth zeolite synergistic tanning effect greatly increases the shrinkage temperature and improves the mechanical and sensory properties; it gives the vegetable tanned wet white leather good antibacterial properties and can be stored for 3 months without mold.
