RUBBER REDUCTION

摘要

A process for reducing rubber is provided. The process includes the steps of providing the rubber to a reactor, providing a solvent to the reactor, elevating a temperature within the reactor to a temperature wherein the temperature is below a critical temperature of the solvent, elevating a pressure within the reactor to a pressure of at least the saturated vapour pressure of the solvent at the temperature, reducing the rubber for a specified time and producing a reaction product.
