Abstract

To examine of possibility protein recycling of shaving scraps contained chrome generated from manufacturing process of leather, the characteristics of hydrolyzed protein that differently treated with MgO as alkaline agent were investigated. In alkaline hydrolysis of saving scraps treated with MgO, MgO had to be treated over 5.0% to maintain over pH 8.0 that is insoluble of chrome. Under the condition of alkaline treated with MgO, the solubility of chrome is low with about 60%. The average molecular weight of hydrolyzed proteins from shaving scraps treated with MgO was about 80~100 KD. The amino acid contents of that were largely collagen proteins such as glycine, alanine and proline, and acidic amino acids such as aspartic acid and glutatamic acid. The contents of Mg, Ca and Na in hydrolyzed protein were too much as liquid fertilizer, and chrome contents was 30~40 ppm that largely decreased in comparing with raw materials (40,000~42,000 ppm).

피혁 제조시 발생되는 크롬을 함유한 피혁 고형폐기물인 shaving scraps의 단백질 자원화 가능성을 검토하기 위하여 알카리제로 MgO를 농도별로 처리하여 가수분해시켜 회수한 hydrolyzed protein의 특성은 다음과 같다. MgO 처리에 의한 shaving scrap의 알카리 가수분해방법에서 크롬이 불용화 되는 pH 8.0 이상을 유지하기 위해서는 MgO를 5% 이상 처리해야 하는 것으로 나타났으며, MgO 처리에 따른 alkaline condition하에서 shaving scrap의 용해도는 약 60% 수준으로서 낮았다. MgO 처리에 의해 shaving scraps으로 부터 회수한 hydrolyzed protein의 평균 분자량은 약 80~100 KD이었고, collagen protein을 구성하고 있는 glycine, alanine 및 proline이 대부분을 차지하고 있었으며, 산성 아미노산인 aspartic acid와 glutamic acid도 상당량 함유되어 있는 것으로 나타났다. 무기성분중 Mg, Ca 및 Na는 액체비료의 무기양분으로서는 다소 많은 양이 함유되어 있었으며, Cr은 약 30~40ppm으로서 원시료 (40,000~42,000ppm)에 비해 크게 감소되었다.
