Abstract

Massive quantities of rice straw are burned annually in Egypt and caused environmental hazards. The present study investigated the utilization of rice straw to produce sodium lignosulphonate (SLS) as a water-soluble derivative of lignin in leather tanning and evaluate its usage as a tanning or re-tanning material as well as its effect on leather quality. The results of testing SLS as a leather tanning agent were unsatisfactory due to its slight effect on shrinkage temperature of leathers, unlike its use as a re-tanning material. Four concentrations of SLS (0%, 5%, 10%, and 20%) were used in re-tanning forty of sheep wet-blues. The results showed that using SLS as a re-tanning agent with concentration till 10% from pelts weight enhances some organoleptic properties, such as fullness and general appearance together with slight improvement in physical properties of leathers. Moreover, the addition of SLS with concentration 20% led to an excessive swelling in the collagen fibers as shown from depicted scanning electron micrographs and decreased trends of physical properties.

Abstract

The objective of this study is to investigate the influence of using some mechanical finishing processes on final properties of produced leather types. Nappa, nubuck, pigmented and corrected grain leather types were produced by applying some of the following operations: hang drying, vacuum drying, molissa staking, drum milling, buffing, spraying and/or embossing surface with extreme pressure. Hydrophobic-hydrophilic status, scanning electron micrographs, organoleptic and mechanical properties were determined on all finished leather types. Results showed that water behavior was hydrophobic for nappa leathers, while it was hydrophilic with the rest of produced leather types. Buffing surface in nubuck leather increases the water absorption and water vapor permeability, while the opposite was found when applying external coat layer in pigmented and corrected grain leathers. Applying vacuum drying in nappa leathers increases surface smoothness and surface water contact angle while decreases tensile and tearing strengths. These results elucidate that all studied leather types are suitable for manufacturing purposes except nubuck leather which is not recommended for footwear uppers manufacturing due to its high water absorption. The present study emphasized that while mechanical finishing processes could have profound effects on leathers surface behavior, they must be adequate to the requirements and properties of the end products.
