Rubber recovery from centrifuged natural rubber latex residue using sulfuric acid
Waste latex sludge from centrifuged residue, which is a null by-product of concentrated latex manufacturing, wasdigested to retrieve the rubber by using sulfuric acid.It was found that the acid concentration and digestion time have aneffect on the amount and purity of the retrieved rubber.Sulfuric acid at concentrations of more than 10% by weight w
