Disclosed is a preparation method of a plant biomass-based active tanning agent. Under a low-temperature reaction condition, cyanuric chloride and a plant biomass compound are used to synthesize an environment-friendly plant biomass-based active tanning agent through a nucleophilic substitution reaction. The active tanning agent obtained in the present disclosure appears as a white or light brown emulsion at room temperature, and has substantial active groups such as hydroxyl groups, carboxyl groups and ester groups introduced into its structure, thus endowing leathers with desirable hydrothermal stability and physical properties and having a desirable synergistic effect with metal tanning agents. Meanwhile, health and environment risks caused by hexavalent chromium and free formaldehyde in leathers are avoided.

The present invention relates to the tanning industry and in particular to the use of an epoxidized vegetable oil as a tanning agent in at least one step of the leather processing process of the tanning industry.

A decoction of olive leaves comprises an aqueous composition containing at least from about 500 mg/liter to about 3,000 mg/liter of oleuropein, from about 100 mg/liter to about 300 mg/liter of hydroxytyrosol, from about 90 mg/liter to about 280 mg/liter of tyrosol, from about 400 mg/liter to about 1,800 mg/liter of elenolic acid.
