The dyes were applied onto chrome and vegetable tanned leather upon characterization. The results indicate that the dye bath exhaustion was better on chrome tanned leather than on vegetable tanned leather. This may be attributed to the chelating effect of chrome on leather and the higher temperature of dyeing the chrome tanned leather compared with the vegetable tanned leather. The fastness properties of the dyes of washing ranging from (3 - 5), perspiration on acid (4 - 5), alkaline (4 - 5) and light (4 - 7) were impressive on both vegetable and chrome tanned leather respectively.展开更多

Their use is widespread because of their good agronomic response due to the high content of slow release or- ganic nitrogen (N) and carbon (C). They do not represent an environmental hazard because only the non-toxic form of Cr(III) is present. Productive processes may involve chemical, enzymatic or thermal hydrolysis. The final product is characterized by different contents of peptides and free amino acids depending on the type of hydrolysis. Legislation concerning Cr-containing fertilizers is controversial because often do not consider any scientific evidences;nevertheless, the European Union, the United States and countries as Italy, do not set the restriction to Cr(III) and generally only the presence of the toxic form, Cr(VI), is limited. Depending on its two main oxidation forms, Cr issue has been studied for many years. Several authors confirmed that Cr(VI) is carcinogenic, while Cr(III) is an essential trace element in human and animal diet. In soil Cr(III) has low mobility, whereas Cr(VI) is highly water soluble. However Cr(VI) in soil is quickly reduced to Cr(III);on the contrary oxidation of Cr(III) to Cr(VI) is rarely possible because particular conditions must occur. Only a very small fraction of Cr in soil is available to plant uptake and its translocation in edible parts is limited because it is immobilized in roots as Cr(III). Therefore risks of environmental pollution using these fertilizers are negligible;on the contrary they have positive environmental and agronomical effects. The aim of this review is to deal with the category of the organic fertilizers containing Cr derived from tannery processes focusing on its chemical, productive, legislative, environmental and agronomical aspects. Special attention is given to the ambiguous issue of Cr briefly summarizing the most important studies of the last forty years.展开更多

Tannery effluent contains, indeed, large amounts of lime sludge, sulfides, acids, toxic metals salts, in particular chromium salts, which are toxic, non-biodegradable and hardly disposable. For this reason, great research efforts are addressed to establish a significantly eco-sustainable and convenient business for companies and to produce high quality leather products. The replacement of current commercial chemical and toxic products with innovative natural/naturalized products and technologies in some crucial phases of the tanning cycle （mainly bating and defatting）, can induce an eco-friendly reduction of the needed chromium amount. Leather samples, treated with innovative bating and defatting products and tanned by several different Cr contents, were characterized by SEM-EDS （Scanning Electron Microscopy equipped with Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy） and TGA （Thermogravimetric Analysis）. SEM-EDS was used to observe the surface and cross-section morphology and to provide a semi-quantitative elemental analysis, while TGA to evaluate the thermal stability and decomposition phases. The compatibility of the innovative products was demonstrated and the environmental impact of the process, performed by the effluents characterization, was effectively improved as a result of a 20% Cr lowering. The use of innovative products and the chromium reduction did not affect the thermal stability, leather morphology and not involve significant differences in the composition.展开更多
