The production of vegetable tanned leather using Parkia Clappertoniana (Pod and Bark) as tanning material Department: Chemistry By: Gambus Project ID: 7107 Rating: (2.7) votes: 3Rate this project12345 Price:₦4000 Get the Complete MaterialAbstractChrome salt utilization in the tanning industry has spread over the world owing to its preferred quality in the leather industry. However, Environmental concerns about chromium have shifted the interest of current research to metal-free and friendly processing options. Vegetable tanning has been proven to be environmentally safe and manageable while producing good quality leather with similar characteristics as of chromium-tanned leather. So, the objective of this research work is to determine the properties of leather using vegetable tanning materials from the pods and bark of Parkia Clappertoniana in the form of powdered pods and back. Results indicated a significant difference in the properties of the tanned skin. Chemical properties of the tanned leathers by Parkia Clappertoniana pods and bark are found to be quite normal. Shrinkage temperature values of tanned skin with bark are higher than those of tanned with pods. On the other hand, tanned skin with Pods produced greater Nitrogen Content 5.13% compared to tanned with bark which was 4.72%. This work provides useful information on the potential leather production by using vegetable tannin materials for leather industries....Preview Download Preview +Other Chemistry project topics and materials you might be interested in»Minerals and phytochemical analysis of watermelon seeds (Citrullus Lanatus)»Kinectic study and heavy metals removals from used engine oil treated with groundnut shells»Synthesis and exploration of ion nanoparticles using costus after flower extract as a reducing agent»Characteristics of humic substances from strongly acidic soil remediated and restored using humin enhanced biodegradable waste materials»Characteristics of humic substances from strongly acidic soil remediated and restored using CNB-TECH end product»Production of hair growth oil and body lotion from Pumpkin and Pawpaw seed oil»Ethanol production from cocoyam peels»Analysis of the quality of groundwater (boreholes)»Phytochemical and proximate analysis of Combretum Zenkeri Ubi»Biodiesel production using soybean oil and characterization»Spectroscopic and phytochemical evaluation of methanolic extract of mahogany tree gum for possible biosynthetic process»Biosynthesis of bark peel of aerial yam-magnesium oxide nano composites for biosensing application»Determination of total hydrocarbon and total petroleum hydrocarbon in the sediments of Oturuba river»Production of biolubricant from Carica Papaya seed oil»The production of vegetable tanned leather using Parkia Clappertoniana (Pod and Bark) as tanning material
