Ion‐exchange membranes have been successfully used in the electrodialysis and electrodecantation of natural rubber skim latex for the recovery of ammonia as well as rubber. Diffusivity of the membrane and current efficiency were studied. An optimum condition is recommended for electrodecantation of skim latex.
