M. Marjoniemi, SPECTROSCOPY AND MODELING - A NEW-GENERATION IN LEATHER TECHNOLOGY, Journal of the Society of Leather Technologists and Chemists, 79(2), 1995, pp. 41-45
The possibility of using spectroscopy and modelling in leather technol
ogy is discussed. Results are given for making calibration models for
prediction of chromium content in chromium liquor and for prediction o
f dye components in multi-component dye solutions. The chromium calibr
ation model can be used for on-line monitoring and control of a tannin
g process. A description of the pilot tanning equipment used for small
-scale trials is given.
