Patent GB-565627-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to the tanning of leather
IPC: C14C3/02
Filed: 1942-11-24
Abstract: A tanning agent is prepared by reacting a hexavalent chromium compound such as a water-soluble dichromate with lignin sulphonic acid or sulphonate or formaldehyde condensation product thereof, the amount of chromium compound used being insufficient to give a precipitate when excess alkali is added to the product.  This contains trivalent chromium in the form of a negative complex ion. Waste sulphite liquors from paper pulp manufacture are generally employed with not more than 20 preferably about 12-14 per cent of dichromate based on the total solids in the liquors.  These preferably contain 50 per cent or more water and are first acidified with mineral acid, preferably sulphuric equivalent to 30-35 per cent or more based on the solids.  Excess acid is neutralized preferably with 15-30 per cent caustic soda, so that a 2 per cent aqueous solution of the product has a pH of about 3-6.  The tanning agents are of particular use for pre-tanning heavy leather which can then be vegetable tanned in 10-12 days. Neutral mineral salts, e.g. sodium chloride, sodium and potassium sulphates, assist penetration.  A liquor containing at least 6 per cent of solids and a pH of about 4-5 is preferably used.  In examples: (1) sodium dichromate solution is added to sulphite liquor containing 50 per cent water after acidifying with sulphuric acid, 10 per cent of dichromate on the weight of liquor being used.  After standing overnight, and neutralized with caustic soda, the product is used to tan raw kid skin; (2) 50 parts of dried solids from sulphite liquor are mixed with 400 parts of water and 25 of sulphuric acid, and treated with 9 parts sodium dichromate in 50 per cent solution.  The product is used in a tanning liquor for pickled kid stock; (3) the preparation is the same as in (2) except that 20 parts of formalin are added to the sulphite liquor and the mixture left overnight before adding dichromate; (4) 400 parts of sulphite liquor containing 50 per cent water are acidified with 60 parts of sulphuric acid and treated with 49 parts of a 50 per cent solution of sodium dichromate.  The mixture is warmed to 60 DEG  C. for 1 hr. before neutralizing; (5) hides are pretanned in a drum with 40 lbs. of the tanning agents made up to 17.5 gals. for 145 lbs. of hides; (6) pre-tanning is effected in a slow running drum for 24 hrs. with a 10 per cent solution equal in weight to the bated stock, and is followed by vegetable tanning first with a dilute and then a concentrated liquor.  German Specification 664,086 is referred to.
