Copolymers of tannins and waste lignocellulosic materials with synthetic materials for non-toxic environment friendly chrome substitutes in leather tanning.

Objective

Toxic Chrome salts are used for the production of 70% of to-day's leather, namely the majority of soft leather. the project proposes to synthesize copolymers of non-toxic vegetable tannins and waste lignocellulosic materials both derived from the forestry industry with
(i) acrylic acid,
(ii) aminoplastic resins and
(iii) by reacting natural vegetable tannins with small amounts of non-toxic nitroalcohols, and to show that these compounds can substitute toxic chrome salts or completely or at least partially (in retannig operations) to produce acceptable soft leather.
