บทคัดย่อ

Water soluble chitosan, dissolved in hot deionized water to obtain 0.8% solution, was used for the coagulation-flocculation of skim natural rubber latex. The efficiency of coagulation-flocculation of skim rubber latex without pH adjustment was much poorer than that of neutral skim rubber latex. When adding chitosan solution to the neutral skim rubber latex with a rubber content of 5.300 %wt/vol until the concentration of chitosan in the dispersion was 0.107%, the phase separation between rubber particles and yellow serum was clearly observed. At this condition, the removal efficiency of skim rubber particles was found to be the best among all trials. It was also found that dilution of skim rubber latex with deionized water did not increase the removal efficiency.
