Abstract:
The overall objective of the present study was to
develop a novel and economic reclaiming process that does
not adversely affect the quality of rubber and to
investigate methods of utilising the reclaim. Since waste
latex products represent a potential source of high quality
rubber hydrocarbon, it was decided to develop a process
based on such latex wastes. The study revealed that latex
reclaim could replace raw natural rubber upto about 50 per
cent of its weight without any serious deterioration in
mechanical properties.

Abstract:
The thesis consists of seven chapters. The first
chapter is a general introduction on rice by-products,
their composition and utilization at present. The
different milling processes adopted in paddy and the major
by-products obtained from these processes viz. rice husk,
rice bran, rice bran oil and rice husk ash are described.
The physical properties and chemical composition of the
rice husk and its general uses are given in detail. The
chemical composition of the rice bran and its separation
from paddy is also included. The details of solvent
extraction process used for obtaining rice bran oil and
also its chemical constitution is discussed in this
chapter. Also described is the preparation and the
different uses of rice husk ash. A literature survey is
also done on the utilization of rice by-products in rubber
and plastics as on today. The scope and objectives of the
present study is also included at the end of this chapter.
