Abstract:
The present invention describes the agricultural and/or forestry use of a mixture comprising: glycerol 5-90%, and glycerides of one or more organic acids 10-95% where the % are by weight with respect to the total mixture; wherein said mixture is used as a phytostimulating agent to promote the germination of seeds and/or as a fungicide/pesticide to protect seeds and/or crops against pathogenic microorganisms.

In a tanning bath having a pH of from 6 to 10 at the beginning of tanning step.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for the retanning (afterchroming) of chrome leathers. It has been found very high chromium exhaustion of the liquor can be achieved if the leather is retanned with mixtures of,(a) chromium (III) salts,(b) from 1.0 to 2.5 mol (per mole of Cr.sub.2 O.sub.3 of the used chromium(III) salt) of aliphatic dicarboxylic acids having from 4 to 6 carbon atoms or aromatic dicarboxylic acids having from 8 to 12 carbon atoms and/or the salts thereof,(c) such a quantity of basifying agents, that a theoretical basicity of the used chromium(III) salt of from 80 to about 120% is established, and(d) from 150-250 g (per mol of Cr.sub.2 O.sub.3 of the used chromium(III) salt) of one or more synthetic tanning agents (syntans).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to methods for preparing a titanium tanning agent from sulphuric-acid titanium-ferriferous solutions and use thereof for leather tanning.The method for preparing a titanium tanning agent from titanium-ferriferous sulphate solutions comprises introduction, into said solution, of an oxidizing agent comprising a sulphuric-acid solution of a peroxy-titanium complex, follows by the addition of ammonium sulphate and sulphuric acid to precipitate a double salt of titanyl and ammonium sulphate in the monohydrate form (NH.sub.4).sub.2 TiO(SO.sub.4).sub.2.H.sub.2 O. The precipitation of this salt is preferably effected prior to its formation in an amount of 75-85% based on TiO.sub.2. The resulting salt is separated and washed; the filtrate and washings are combined and treated with ammonium sulphate to after precipitate the salt which is separated and recycled into the starting solution. The thus-prepared salt is used for tanning hides pretreated with a tanning promotor: sodium salt of disulphodinaphthylmethane or phthalic anhydride, or aluminium alum, or a mixture of aluminium alum with urotropin; ammoniumtitanylsulphate or phenol-aldehyde oligomers dispersed in lignosulphonic acids.Tanning of delimed, or delimed and pickled, or delimed pickled and chromed hides is effected using the titanium tanning agent in the presence of lactic acid, aluminium alum or products of condensation of synthetic fatty acids with triethanolamine.The present invention is useful in the leather industry.
Abstract:
In the process of tanning for the production of leather comprising subjecting uncured hides to the action of an aqueous liquor containing (1) chemical tanning agents, and (2) auxiliary chemicals to tanning and recovering leather, the improvement consisting of essentially of employing water-insoluble aluminosilicate, containing bound water of the formula(Cat.sub.2/n O).sub.x.Al.sub.2 O.sub.3.(SiO.sub.2).sub.ywherein Cat represents a cation selected from the group consisting of alkali metals, bivalent metal ions, trivalent metal ions, and mixtures thereof, n represents an integer from 1 to 3 of the valence of said cation, x is an integer from 0.5 to 1.8 and y is an integer from 0.8 to 50, said aluminosilicates having an average particle size in the range of 0.1.mu. to 5 mm and a calcium binding power of from 0 to 200 mg CaO/gm of anhydrous active substance measured at 22.degree. C. according to the Calcium Binding Power Test Method set out in the specification, in combination with a polycarboxylate selected from the group consisting of aliphatic dicarboxylic acids having from 2 to 8 carbon atoms, aliphatic tricarboxylate acids having from 4 to 8 carbon atoms, benzene dicarboxylic acids, benzenetricarboxylic acids and hydrolyzable partial esters thereof with aliphatic alcohols having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms and 1 to 6 hydroxyl groups as partial replacement of said chemical tanning agents and said auxiliary chemicals to tanning.
