Features: Leather Chemistry and Technology is a national "" planning teaching material for the leather specialization in light chemical engineering at Chinese universities. This textbook is divided into two volumes. The first volume introduces raw hides and their histology, the chemistry of skin proteins, microorganisms, and leather-processing enzymes, followed by preparation engineering and tanning chemistry and methods. The second volume focuses on the manufacturing process of chrome-tanned crust leather as its main thread. It begins with pretreatment for dyeing and finishing, then covers retanning, dyeing, fatliquoring, drying and finishing, and surface coating, with examples illustrating the content of leather processing. This textbook includes the fundamental content, theories, and skills of leather processing, emphasizing its ideological, scientific, advanced, and adaptable nature. From the perspective of disciplinary and professional development, it also incorporates new processes, technologies, and products, as well as cutting-edge content related to cleaner leather processing and ecological leather processing. This book can serve as a teaching text for undergraduate students in the leather specialization of light chemical engineering; it can also be used for teaching in vocational colleges, non-leather-specialized undergraduate programs, and postgraduate programs in leather processing, with content adaptable to teaching requirements. Additionally, it can be used as a self-study reference for researchers and engineering technicians engaged in leather processing.
