Abstract

Technology of leather tannery is influenced by laws and developments in technology, both domestically and internationally. Current research has a major focus on discovering new process technologies and materials that make the leather processing technology more optimal and environmentally friendly. Currently, most of the leather tanning processes in Indonesia still have normative stages, which consist of beam house operation, tanning, post-tanning (neutralization, retanning, dyeing, fatliquoring) and finishing stages. The purpose of this study is to alter the post-tanning procedure for upper shoes by using aromatic sulfones. By using aromatic sulfones, leather can be tanned without the requirement for neutralization. The results of this study are expected to educate tanneries and give them another choice for performing tanning techniques that are more efficient, more reasonably priced, and meet standards for the quality of finished leather. With the addition of aromatic sulfones, wet blue goat skin post-tanning can be finished in 225 minutes (3 hours 45 minutes), or roughly 21.43% of the typical processing time. This process modification can both speed up the tanning process and consume less water because no fresh water is needed during the post-tanning phase. Water savings in the post-tanning process can reach 400% of the total water used. With these advantages, it is believed that the tanning process for leather would become more effective and affordable. Furthermore, by using less water during the post-tanning process, liquid waste can also be decreased. In terms of organoleptics and mechanics, the rubbing resistance of post-tanning leather with with the addition of aromatic sulfones meets the requirements/standards for upper shoes.

Abstract

The issue of heavy metal pollution is a significant concern in the environmental. Hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) is hazardous heavy metal when it is discharged and expands within ecosystem. Cr(VI) is a hazardous compound that high susceptibility to oxidation and mutagenic. The tannery industry generates hexavalent chromium in its liquid waste. Managing Cr(VI) liquid waste could use the adsorption technique with activated carbon. In this study the activation of activated carbon using microwave-assisted ZnCl2 chemical activation. The activated carbon used for adsorbing the Cr(VI). The objective of this study was to ascertain the optimum parameters for the adsorption of Cr(VI) utilizing activated carbon. The optimization method is Taguchi, which incorporates three factors: A (pH), B (activated carbon dosage), and C (agitation). The result of optimization is pH 2; 0,4 g activated carbon dosage, and agitation 20 rpm, which the optimal response was 16.7498 mg/L. The analysis using the desirability obtained desirability value of 1. The ANOVA results indicate that the pH significant on the response. The adjusted R-square is 0.9667 and predicted R-square is 0.8668. It can be concluded that the model and actual conditions has slighly discrepancies. Then, the regression equation from the model can be estimate the actual value.
