Résumé : |
The mass transfer of protease in hide during enzymatic unhairing was first investigated by fluorescent tracer technique. It was found that the penetration rate of protease in hide was quite slow, and protease remained on the grain/papillary layer even after removal of hair, which is the main reason why enzymatic unhairing may cause grain damage or loose grain. But protease could effectively remove epidermis in a short time. From these phenomena, we developed an enzyme assisted low-sulfide hair-save unhairing (EALS unhairing) based on pH-sensitivity of neutral protease activity. To avoid risk of hide damage, soaked cattle hide (pH 8) was first treated with neutral protease (20 units/g hide) for 40 min at 22°C to cleave epidermis but not to unhair, and then 1% lime was immediately added both for inactivation of the neutral protease (pH>12) and for hair immunization. Finally, the hide was completely unhaired by using 0.8% sodium sulfide with intact hair shaft. The smartly controlled action of protease, as well as the synergistic effect of protease, lime and sulfide, ensured the complete removal of hair and epidermis with reduced offer of chemicals, and prevented pelts from defects. The crust leather processed by using EALS unhairing had a cleaner grain surface compared with that using conventional sulfide-lime unhairing. Additionally, the physical properties of the leather processed with EALS unhairing were comparable to those of conventional leather. Sulfide, total solids, suspended solids and chemical oxygen demand in the EALS unhairing effluent were markedly reduced due to a dramatic decrease in the input of sodium sulfide and lime as well as the recovery of hair. |
