Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of chrome tanning agent preparation, in particular to a chrome tanning agent preparation process for leather processing. Background Art
[0002] Chrome tanning agents mainly refer to compounds containing trivalent chromium ions, usually basic chromium sulfate or basic chromium chloride. These compounds react chemically with amino acids in the collagen fibers of the skin during the tanning process to form a stable cross-linked structure, thereby giving the leather the desired physical and chemical properties. Chrome tanning agents are widely used chemicals in the leather processing industry, mainly used in the tanning process of leather. Tanning is the process of converting animal skin into leather, with the goal of improving the skin's properties, such as durability, softness and elasticity.
[0003] During the preparation process of chrome tanning agent, the wastewater generated contains a large amount of chromium ions, especially trivalent chromium and hexavalent chromium. Hexavalent chromium is a highly toxic substance that is extremely harmful to aquatic ecosystems and human health. In addition, if the solid waste (chromium residue) generated during the production process of chrome tanning agent is directly piled up without treatment, it may penetrate into the soil and cause heavy metal pollution of the soil. In the entire preparation process, pollutants need to be effectively controlled to meet large-scale processing needs. Therefore, it is necessary to design a chrome tanning agent preparation process that is conducive to pollutant control. Summary of the invention

Filtration: Suspended and dissolved matter in wastewater is further removed through sand filters, activated carbon filters and other equipment. S7. Safe discharge of purified liquid: Safely discharge the filtered liquid and collect the filtered solid waste.
7. The process for preparing a chrome tanning agent for leather processing according to claim 1, characterized in that: The specific operation steps for treating the solid waste generated in the mixed dissolution include: S1. Anaerobic digestion: The sludge is digested under anaerobic conditions (oxygen-free environment), and the organic matter is decomposed by anaerobic microorganisms to produce methane and carbon dioxide. The volume of the digested sludge can be reduced by about 50%, and the number of pathogens is significantly reduced. S2. Aerobic digestion: aeration of sludge for a long time under aerobic conditions, using aerobic microorganisms to decompose organic matter. This can further reduce the volume of sludge and eliminate pathogens. S3. Harmless detection and burial.
