Abstract

Ion exchange decolorization to date plays no significant role in white sugar production from sugar beet. An increasing demand for high performance decolorization equipment in the refining and liquid sugar industry has pushed ion exchange resin manufacturers to improve selectivity, kinetics, color uptake capacity and cycle lifetime of their products. Fractal processing equipment allows for the best possible utilization of the advantages of the enhanced resins resulting in extremely effective and compact systems. In conjunction with nanofiltration systems the demand for water and salt as well as the waste water production are significantly reduced. Thick juice or molasses desugarisation extract are disposing of very high colors in comparison to typical cane liquors. Trials to decolorize these products in fractal decolorizing systems have proved successful thus representing a backup or alternative for existing unit operations. The flow turndown ratios of fractals allow for the combination of high throughput thin juice softeners and comparably low flow syrup decolorization applications in one dual-use installation helping to further improve economics.

分形在糖脱色过程中的应用。

迄今为止，离子交换脱色在甜菜白糖生产中没有显著作用。精炼和液糖行业对高性能脱色设备的需求日益增长，促使离子交换树脂制造商提高其产品的选择性、动力学、吸色能力和循环寿命。分形处理设备允许最好地利用增强树脂的优势，从而产生非常有效和紧凑的系统。与纳滤系统相结合，对水和盐的需求以及废水的产生大大减少。浓汁或糖蜜脱糖提取物处理非常高的颜色与典型的甘蔗酒相比。在分形脱色系统中对这些产品进行脱色的试验证明是成功的，因此代表了现有单元操作的备用或替代方案。分形的流量递减比允许高通量稀汁软化剂和相对低流量糖浆脱色应用在一个两用装置中结合使用，有助于进一步提高经济效益。

期刊介绍： International Sugar Journal, first published in 1869, is a peer reviewed technical-trade journal focusing on latest developments in sugar technology and sugar industry. The journal embraces scientific and technical advances in agricultural production right through to the production of sugar crystal, as well as economic, trade and policy issues. Main topics include: • sugarcane and sugar beet production • front end operations • cane and beet sugar manufacture • sugar refining • economics, trade and legislation and • biorenewables (cogeneration, biofuels and biobased products) Related topics, namely analysis, instrumentation, equipment and machinery, food and non-food uses of sugar and alternative sweeteners also form the focus of the journal.
