Abstract
The properties of modified montmorillonite dispersions for their use in the chrome-less leather tanning method were investigated. It is proposed to modify montmorillonite with aluminum compounds and to combine the obtained dispersions with chromium compounds for leather treatment. Modification of montmorillonite dispersions by aluminum compound within 5.0-7.0% Al2O3 of the weight of the mineral contributes to obtaining the most stable positively charged montmorillonite dispersions. The use of the obtained montmorillonite dispersions is effective for stabilizing the collagen structure and increasing the temperature resistance of collagen. The use of modified montmorillonite dispersions combined with a chromium tanning agent contributes to the introduction of chrome-less tanning. 0.75% of Сr2O3 and 3.0% of modified dispersion of montmorillonite of the weight of the pelts in conversion for mineral weight are considered the optimal consumption of chromium tanning agent.
