A chrome-free tanning process of an ecological leather is characterized by a TWS+sodium lignosulfonate+TWLZ ternary tanning process system. The sodium lignosulfonate added can not only have a fixation effect on a TWS tanning agent to make the TWS tanning not undergo detanning at a low pH, but also significantly improve the uniformity of distribution of a TWLZ tanning agent in a hide/skin and promote the formation of a stable cross-linked network structure by the TWLZ tanning agent in a collagen fiber, which effectively overcomes the defects of tanning performance of the existing tanning systems to obtain a leather with uniform and sufficient tanning, a high isoelectric point, a strong electropositivity, excellent absorption for post-tanning chemicals, and a prominent softness, and gives a leather a wide use range and a high quality.

A light-colored polycarboxylated polysaccharide tanning agent, and a preparation method and use thereof are provided. The light-colored polycarboxylated polysaccharide tanning agent includes the following raw materials: a polysaccharide, an organic solvent, a catalyst, and hydrogen peroxide. Based on a weight of the polysaccharide, a weight of the organic solvent accounts for 1 wt % to 15 wt %, a weight of the catalyst accounts for 0.05 wt % to 2 wt %, and a weight of the hydrogen peroxide accounts for 30 wt % to 80 wt %. The preparation method provided by the present disclosure adopts a two-phase solution system. Compared with the existing preparation technologies, the preparation method of the present disclosure can efficiently extract and remove colored substances produced during an oxidation process, and can timely block a polymerization reaction of the colored substances with an oxidized polysaccharide, such as to significantly reduce a chromaticity of an oxidized product.
