| Summary: | Skim latex is a by-product from rubber processing industry. Skim latex contributes to a high statistic of environmental problems due to the discharging of untreated skim latexinto the waterways. The treatment of the skim latex needs a high amount of expenses due to the specific treatment process should be done. The wasteful skim latex contains numerous useful proteins and amino acid components that should be recovered instead of dumpingit. In the present work , protiens present in skim latex can be used as antimicrobial agent regarding to the existance of the inhibitor proteins such as proteases and hydrolases that would inhibit the microorganism growth. These precious proteins in skim latex serum couldbe recovered using acid coagulation process. In this research, the coagulation process was carried out by using two different chemical coagulants that were sulphuric acid and actic acid. |
