<p>A continuous process for the extraction of 3-hydroxybutyrate polymers from micro-organism cells wherein a non-solvent is added to the extracted syrup to permit separation of the polymer and, by distillation, the bulk of the extraction liquid, which may be a solvent/non-solvent mixture, is recovered for re-use. Preferably the non-solvent added to the syrup is also recovered in the distillation.</p> |
