1. Introduction
Ion exchange resins (IER) have been employed in the sugar
refinery process for the purpose of decolorization and
demineralization (deashing) of sugar liquor. Compared to the
remelting of white sugar, higher decolorization rate and extremely
high sugar yield can be obtained by the direct demineralization of
clear liquor or fine liquor. Organo has developed an efficient IER
system the “SUPER FINE LIQUOR SYSTEM” (A-MB system),
which consists of an anion exchange resin tower and a mixed bed
tower of anion exchange resin and cation exchange resins. This
system has been applied to many sugar refinery factories in Japan
and has an excellent reputation for the high quality.
