Abstract

La présente invention concerne un procédé alternatif de coagulation de latex de caoutchouc qui peut être utilisé pour produire du caoutchouc destiné à des articles en caoutchouc à partir de latex de caoutchouc stabilisé ou non stabilisé, de qualité équivalente à celle du caoutchouc commercial de manière économique, sans danger pour l'environnement, et utilisant moins de produits chimiques. La voie présentée peut être utilisée pour coaguler du caoutchouc de manière régulée directement sur des formes souhaitées pour divers articles en caoutchouc à l'aide d'une charge électrostatique générée à partir d'une source d'énergie renouvelable et non renouvelable. L'invention présente une étude systématique permettant de définir les variables de régulation et la relation régissant les paramètres de régulation en termes de coagulation du caoutchouc/masse de caoutchouc coagulé telle que représentée en (A) à la figure 5 (B). Le potentiel appliqué, la vitesse de transfert de Coulomb (courant), le temps, la force ionique (concentration en sels dans le latex) et la teneur en caoutchouc du latex sont les variables/paramètres de procédé défini(e)s pour la régulation de la coagulation du caoutchouc pour obtenir un latex de caoutchouc ayant une teneur en caoutchouc sec entre moins de 4 % et plus de 24 % telle que représentée en (B) à la figure 7.
