    摘要: A tanning agent-free leather making method is provided. A raw hide is subjected to controllable dehydration with a molecular sieve-polar organic solvent composite dehydration media to achieve a dehydrated hide, and then a tanning agent-free leather is prepared by increasing the surface roughness of the dehydrated hide and reducing the surface energy of the dehydrated hide. The present disclosure does not use any metal or non-metal tanning agent, which is eco-friendly. The present disclosure breaks the balance of water distribution between the raw hide and the polar organic solvent, which realizes a multi-medium self-driven directional controllable dehydration of the raw hide, effectively solving the problems during dehydration of the raw hide only using polar organic solvent. The molecular sieve-polar organic solvent dehydration system is easy to recover and can be recycled for the controllable dehydration of the raw hide multiple times. Therefore, a brand-new clean leather making technology is provided.

    摘要: A reconstituted-leather-manufacturing process includes a progressively increasing application of pressure to an aqueous leather solution to form a web of leather fibers. The solution/web may be dewatered to an extent before the first application of a pressure so that the solution/web consistency is on the order 29-55% (fiber to web/solution, by weight) when the first pressure of the progressive sequence of pressures is applied. Tannin (and various chemicals) may be added to the solution. The progressive pressing of the solution/web may be followed by a progressive drying of the web by application of a sequence of increasing temperatures via drying vessels.
