An object of the present invention is to provide a new granulating process
which can recover desired coagulated latex particles with a significantly
excellent yield, and can suppress secondary coagulation under the
condition having a higher temperature than a softening point of a
polymer, without deteriorating the original quality of the polymer
itself. A process for producing coagulated latex particles which can
suppress the secondary coagulation under the condition having the broad
temperature range, without deteriorating the original quality of the
polymer itself by spraying or dropping a polymer latex into a gas-phase
containing an inorganic salt and/or an acid, and a dispersant in an
aerosol form, and dropping or feeding the droplets of the polymer latex
into an aqueous phase containing a dispersant.
