Although this waste, especially in the case of leather, is not considered hazardous by current legislation, it is however produced in large quantities which pr
34、esent a problem for municipal landfill sites.The aim of the tanning process is to avoid skin putrefaction and increase the resistence of the obtained leather. For this purpose, chemical and biological agents are used which are involved in the denaturation and hardening of the main stromal protein, c
35、ollagen, thus also producing physicochemical changes in the skin.There is a wide range of different agents used for leather tanning, which can be based on organic products, vegetable extracts or inorganic products, mostly metals.The most used tanning agent in the footwear industry is Chromium (III),
36、 which gives the skin desirable characteristics, such as elasticity, easy buffing and a good breathability and vapour permeability. However, the traditional tanning industry, and especially chrome tanning, generates wastes that pose an environmental threat. Also, chrome-tanned hides and skins have t
37、oo long a lifespan, much larger than the useful life of the final products. Therefore, the use of additives that are less harmful to the environment and which generate products that have a certain ease of degradation, once the material has achieved its purpose, would be preferred, thus minimising wa
38、ste products.Within this sector, the development of fast biodegradability quantification methods for leather that has been treated with alternative tanning agents is needed in order to predict whether these materials are more biodegradable than their predecessors. The methodology described in this d
39、ocument attempts to allow the completion of this form of analysis in a test time of no more than 35 days.5 EN ISO 20136:2017 (E) DIN EN ISO 20136:2017-07 1 ScopeThis document specifies a test method to determine the degree and rate of aerobic biodegradation of hides and skins of different animal ori
40、gin, whether they are tanned or not, through the indirect determination of CO2produced by the degradation of collagen.The test material is exposed to an inoculum (activated sludge from tannery wastewater) in an aqueous medium.The conditions established in this document correspond to optimum laborato
41、ry conditions to achieve the maximum level of biodegradation. However, they may not necessarily correspond to the optimum conditions or maximum level of biodegradation in the natural medium.In general, the experimental procedure covers the determination of the degradation degree and rate of the mate
42、rial under controlled conditions, which allows the analysis of the evolved carbon dioxide produced throughout the test. For this purpose, the testing equipment complies with strict requirements with regard to flow, temperature and agitation control.This method applies to the following materials: nat
43、ural polymers of animal stroma (animal tissue/skins), animal hides and skins tanned (leather) using organic or inorganic tanning agents, leathers that, under testing conditions, do not inhibit the activity of microorganisms present in the inoculum.2 Normative referencesThere are no normative referen

48、r untanned hides and skins through the indirect measurement of CO2evolved during the degradation of collagen, which is the major constituent of the skin, by the action of the microorganisms present in tannery wastewater.The CO2evolved during the test is indirectly determined through the reaction of
49、Ba(OH)2 with CO2, which is precipitated as barium carbonate (BaCO3). The amount of CO2evolved is determined by titrating the remaining barium hydroxide with a 0,05 mol/l hydrochloric acid solution. These measurements are taken on a daily basis throughout the test.Biodegradability is assessed by indirectly measuring the CO2evolved as a function of time and calculating the biodegradation degree by the difference between the initial carbon percentage present in co
