A Multifunctional Gelatin-Quaternary Ammonium Copolymer Exhibiting Superior Anionic Dye Adsorption for Efficient Emission Reduction in Leather Tanning Process

Leather wastewater is one of the most polluting industrial emissions. An in-situ, green, and innovative strategy that limits dye emissions is required to replace subsequent waste management. A novel cationic protein with a high quaternary ammonium degree was designed and synthesized. The results show that at concentrations ranging from 3 to 15 wt%, this cationic protein rapidly and completely adsorbs Direct Purple N and Acid Black 24 within 5 min. A remarkable efficiency in removing Acid Red 73, Acid Golden G, Acid Lake Blue A, Acid Green, and Acid Orange II, with >96% removal rates, was achieved. The cationic protein was most accurately represented by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Acid Orange II (2000 mg L-1) and 15 wt% cationic protein were used in an actual tanning process. The residual concentration of Acid Orange II in the wastewater was 23.1 mg L-1. These results reflect that the emission reduction targets have been effectively achieved.
