Résumé : |
For efficient control, and to produce a particularly fine grain in the leather, ammonium sulfate (or boric acid) is conventionally used as a deliming agent. It us used in the amounts necessary to neutralize the alkali in pelts after the liming and unhairing processes in leather manufacture. A 5% infusion from leaf of Hibiscus Sabdariffa was evaluated as an alternative deliming agent in leather processing. After extraction, the pH of the infusion was found to be 3.18. The deliming value of the infusion was determined by titrating the infusion against 20ml solution of 3% Calcium hydroxide. The volume of the infusion required and optimum time taken to delime 50g of limed pelt was also determined. Several deliming trials were also undertaken; complete deliming of limed pelt was achieved with 50ml of the infusion within a period of 40 minutes as against the deliming period of 1 hour recorded for solution of ammonium sulfate. From results obtained after deliming trials and from physical observations made on the pelts, the infusion was discovered to effectively delime pelts almost competing and compared favorably to the conventional deliming agents such as ammonium sulfate. The infusion of Hibiscus Sabdariffa can thus be introduced, after further investigation, for use as a deliming agent in the leather industry. |
