- They are then put into a Ball Mill with water
- The Latex coagulates and is skimmed off the top
- The Wastewater from this process is rich in Inulin and thus is a good candidate for Bioethanol or other Fermentation derived Biorefinery products
Status
- Tons/Year
- Share of their overall latex use
- Related EU Projects/Goals etc
