Prospects of Using Taurine in the Production of Emulsion Rubbers
摘要
The use of taurine (2-aminoethane-1-sulfonic acid) to reduce the aggregative stability of dispersed systems is considered. It is shown that the consumption of taurine required to isolate rubber from latex is associated with the consumption of sulfuric acid. The best temperature regime for coagulation is 0–2°C. The best results are obtained when using a hybrid coagulant, sodium chloride–taurine, to isolate rubber from latex.
