The invention discloses a leather chemical production technology. The technology comprises the followings steps that S1, condensation is performed, specifically, molten quantitative phenol is added into an enamel reactor, an H2SO4 is added as a catalyst, stirring and heating are performed, the interior of the enamel reactor is heated to 65 DEG C, then formaldehyde is added dropwise, and after adding of the formaldehyde is completed, reaction is performed for 3 h under the temperature of 90-95 DEG C; S2, dehydration is performed, specifically, after reaction is completed, the interior of the enamel reactor is vacuumized, the pressure inside the enamel reactor is controlled to be at 6.5*10<4>-7.8*10<4> Pa, and then dehydration is performed for 4.5 h; and S3, acetic anhydride is added, specifically, the acetic anhydride is added dropwise when the temperature inside the enamel reactor drops to 80 DEG C. A methylene bridge type tanning agent produced by means of the technology is reddish brown slurry liquid, weakly acidic and soluble in water and has bleaching and diffusion effects, dissolving of hydrargyri oxydum rubrum and tannin extract can be aided, tanning is accelerated, sedimentis reduced, no chromium is contained, energy is saved, environment friendliness is achieved, environment pollution is avoided, and the problem that existing leather chemical chrome tanning is not environmentally friendly enough, and heavy metal pollution is prone to occurring is solved.
