Abstract

The leftover vegetable oils after frying of food at higher temperature is toxic to environment as diminutive of technologies for proper disposal and reuse of waste cooking oil. An highly water soluble and emulsifier-free phosphorylated fatliquor with the emulsion stability of more than 60 min from economically cheap deep fried oils on transesterification with highly biodegradable ecologically innocuous and water soluble Poly (ethylene glycol) with p-Toluene Sulphonic acid followed by phosphorylation produces highly water dispersible and stable material for leather applications. The synthesised phosphorylated fatliquors were ascertained for the lubrication of collagen fibres and fibre splitting of goat skin by SEM analysis. The transesterification has confirmed by FT-IR, fat composition oils, COD, BOD, total solid in spent liquor were analysed. Physical characteristics of leathers were analysed by tensile strength, tear strength, elongation and quality assessments by hand evaluation by experts. Acid, iodine, saponification values, particle size of phosphorylated fatliquors, surface wettability, thermal stability of leathers were analysed and the properties compared. The finding can assist an emulsifier-free lubricating process significantly as currently available leather chemicals.
