Abstract: 24,216. Johnson, J. Y., [Badische Anilin & Soda Fabrik]. Oct. 23. Tanning with special chemicals.-Condensation products suitable for use as tanning-agents are made by heating a phenol-sulphonic acid or cresol-sulphonic acid under mild conditions. The following examples are given: (i) Para-phenolsulphonic acid is heated for about 24 hours at 120‹ C. and a pressure of 20 mm. until it gives the maximum precipitation on testing with a dilute solution of glue. The product may be used directly, or it may be purified to a white powder form by neutralizing it with caustic soda, filtering, and evaporating it. (ii) The product obtained by heating phenol gently with concentrated sulphuric acid is heated for 72 hours at a temperature of 140‹ C. and a presture of 20 mm. (iii) Ortho-cresol-sulphonic acid is heated at 130‹ C. and 20 mm. pressure until it gives the maximum precipitation with glue solution. The product is filtered, neutralized with caustic soda and evaporated to dryness. (iv) 1000 parts of crude cresol-sulphonic acid are heated at about 130‹ C. and 20 mm. for about 24 hours, and, after cooling to about 80‹ C., 186 parts of phosphorus trichloride are stirred in at ordinary pressure. The product is taken up with ice and water, allowed to stand, and worked up as in example (iii). (v) 3 parts of crude cresol-sulphonic acid and one of paraphenol-sulphonic acid are heated for 48 hours in vacuo. The mixture is cooled and 18 parts of water are added. It is filtered and the filtrate nearly neutralized so that about 5 per cent of acid remains. The product is cooled in ice and evaporated to dryness. (vi) 225 parts of the sulphonation product of crude cresol are heated with 262¢ parts of phosphorus oxychloride for 4 hours at 60‹ C. The excess of oxychloride is distilled off and the product is washed with hydrochloric acid. In an example of the use of the substances, the product of example (iii) is dissolyed in water, with the optional addition of acid, to give 3-5‹ Be. The limed and bated skins are hung in this bath and the strength is gradually increased during ten days to 5‹ BÚ. The tannage requires about fourteen days, after which the leather is neutralized, fatted, and dried. Alternatively, drumming or paddling in more concentrated solutions may be employed.
