PURPOSE: To obtain a coagulated latex particle in good processability, by dispersing a specified high-molecular latex as a spherical drop and coagulating said drop, in a coagulation chamber, containing gas of a coagulating agent or mist of its solution.
CONSTITUTION: In a coagulation chamber, containing a gas capable of coagulating a latex or the mist of a solution of a substance capable of coagulating the latex, a high-molecular latex, composed of a thermoplastic polymer, of Vicat softening pt.≤100°C and capable of being recovered as a resin powder, is dispersed as drops, having a diameter ≤2mm and containing 20wt% or less of minute drops of diameter ≤53μ, and the drops are made spherical by means of surface tention. Then they are coagulated by contact with said gas or mist. The coagulated latex particle is collected in a recovering fluid flowing on the side wall or the bottom of the chamber, and recovered.
