Features: Tanning Chemistry focuses on the fundamental chemistry of inorganic tannins, organic tannins, and combined tannins or coordination compounds of inorganic tannins. It explores the relationship between tannin composition, structure, and leather performance; the chemical reactions (mechanisms) of tannins with collagen (i.e., tanning mechanisms); and the modification of tannins. To bridge theory with practice, the book provides process examples related to tanning and retanning. Although it is primarily a university undergraduate textbook, it also serves as a valuable reference for engineering technicians with practical experience, experimental technicians, graduate students, and science and technology personnel from non-related fields who are engaged in leather chemistry and leather chemical engineering. Readers can learn relevant fundamental theoretical knowledge of leather tanning and corresponding scientific research methods from this book, enhancing their abilities in scientific research and solving practical process challenges.
