PROCESSES FOR RECOVERING RUBBER FROM AGED BRIQUETTES AND AGED BRIQUETTES CONTAINING PLANT MATTER FROM NON-HEVEA PLANTS.

摘要

Provided herein are organic solvent-based processes for the removal of rubber from aged briquettes made from compressed plant matter (briquettes) of non-Hevea plants. Also provided are aged briquettes made from the compressed plant matter of non-Hevea plants where the briquettes have been aged for either various time period after formation and the rubber within the briquette has retained its a molecular weight to within a specified range.
