Liming is one of the most important processes in beamhouse and has many functions relating to the nature and quality of leather. Concentration of calcium hydroxide and temperature are thought to be a factor affecting the liming process and the quality of leather produced. The objectives of this study were to determine the characteristics of tuna skin, to determine the effect of the concentration of calcium hydroxide and temperature on the liming, and to determine the best treatment of the concentration of calcium hydroxide and temperature on the quality of limed pelt. There were four responses observed, i.e. the protein content, fat content, swelling, and pH. Based on this research, tuna skin had higher level of protein that was high enough to be processed into leather. Treatment of calcium hydroxide concentration did not significantly effect to all responses. Level of 5% calcium hydroxide concentration was the best treatment, as it gave three responses that achieve the best conditions. Temperature treatment showed a significant effect on the responses of fat content and swelling. Specified temperature as the best level was 30 °C, because there were two responses that achieve the best conditions at that level

Leather tanning is a process of modifying the structure of collagen fibres, so as to transform animal skin that decay easily, into leather which is durable and stable to the environmental influences. One of the leather products is oil tanned leather, known as chamois leather. It has unique uses for cleaning, drying, and filtration. It can be produced by using rubber seed oil and oxidizing agent of hydrogen peroxide. The best condition for the tanning needs to be applied in order to improve process efficiency and to obtain good quality leather. In this research, optimizations of oxidation times inside and outside the rotary drum in chamois tanning were investigated. The objectives of the research were to determine the best condition of oxidation time inside and outside the rotary drum for tanning process. The experiment was conducted by tanning of goat pickle pelts for 4, 6, and 8 hours of oxidation times inside the rotary drum and 1, 2, and 3 days of oxidation times outside the rotary drum. The chemical, physical, and organoleptic properties of the leather were measured. This study shows that the chemical, physical, and organoleptic properties met the quality requirements for the chamois leather. The best conditions for the tanning were an oxidation time of 8 hours inside the rotary drum and 1 day outside the rotary drum. The chemical properties of the leathers were oil content of 2.75%, ash content of 1.92%, and pH of 6.88. Their physical properties were thickness of 0.6 mm, shrinkage temperature of 71.63oC, water absorption of 291.36% (2 hours) and 323.89% (24 hours), tear strength of 59.45 N/mm, tensile strength of 26.18 N/mm2, and elongation at break of 163.33%. The organoleptic properties of the leathers, i.e. softness, colour, and odour were considered good
Studi pemanfaatan gambir (Uncaria gambir Roxb.) dalam pembuatan cat alami
The main component of paints are binder, pigment, solvent and additive. Binder can be made from natural materials and also synthetic or polymeric materials. This study was conducted to observe the effect of weight ratio of casein to calcium oxide and concentration of gambier solution in the preparation of natural paint. The binder used in the manufacture of natural paints was casein mixed with calcium oxide (alkali). When casein was reacted with an alkali then casein will become more soluble in water and has adhesive properties. Use of gambier as dyes in the manufacture of natural paints was expected to increase the added value of gambier. Catechin and tannin as the substances contained in gambier will easily dissolve in water and can give brownish red colour
Pengembangan proses degradasi karet alam menggunakan lindi hitam sebagai bahan tambahan aspal termodifikasi
One way to improve the usability of natural rubber is by modifying natural rubber, for example by giving a chemical degradation treatment. Degradation of chemical compounds taken with the aid of a polymer chain breakers, in this study used black liquor. Degradation of natural rubber aims to adjust the physical properties of natural rubber in the mechanism of mixing with asphalt to produce a modified asphalt that is expected to improve and enhance the properties of asphalt in its application in road pavement. Chemical degradation pursued through three stages. The first stage is the formation process of latex into solid rubber in the form of crepes. The second stage is the process of rubber degradation using black leachate by using two variations of the treatment, immersion time of rubber in black leachate and drying time. While the third stage is mixing of degraded rubber with asphalt. The variation of immersion time and drying time significantly affected the amount of black liquor absorbed by the rubber, plasticity (Po), and softening point of modified asphalt. The best treatment in this study were treated R7K2 (rubber immersed for 7 hours and dried in the normal time plus 2 hours)

Green Productivity as an Approach to Address the Environmental Problem of Leather Tanning SMEs in Yogyakarta, Indonesia
The leather tanning industry is a most promising industry in Yogyakarta. However, the industry faces environmental problems due to poor environmental management practices. This study develops strategies to address the environmental issues of the impact of leather tanning SMEs in Yogyakarta. It identifies opportunities for improvement based on Green Productivity (GP) approach, and obstacles to formulating strategies for enhancing environmental performance. This study uses a Case Study approach using field observations and interviews with a number of leather tanning SMEs and industry experts. The results show that the SMEs in this sector adopt only a limited level of environmental practices. A set of GP options is proposed based on the observational evidence and expert judgements. Using an Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), a priority selected is to optimize the production processes of leather tanning SMEs. This study found that internal obstacles to green adoption included insufficient resources and infrastructure, low-skilled human resources, poor financial capability, lack of awareness, and poor organizational strategies. The external obstacles are significant and include inadequate law enforcement and government support, a small and limited market segment, and the lack of available green chemicals. These contribute toward poor environmental practices. To deal with these problems, this research proposes eight strategies for tackling the obstacles that prevent the implementation of leather tanning green practices. The strategies are divided into internal and collaborative. The internal strategies include encouraging enhanced product development processes and promote proactive and innovative strategies. Regarding their limitations, SMEs need stakeholder assistance to help solve their issues. A collaborative approach is crucial. Developing low-cost green technologies through R&D activities, developing best practice guidance and promoting its implementation, providing adequate facilities and machinery, identifying suitable suppliers to supply green chemicals, intensifying knowledge transfer of good environmental management, and establish a punishment and reward system are proposed for addressing the issues
