Evaluation of Ecosorb to Decolorize Chromatographic Extract

Ecosorb is a leading adsorbent designed to enhance filtration and decolorization in sugar processing, particularly in beet and cane sugar operations. It effectively removes anions, cations, color, odor, and starch, making it a cost-effective alternative to traditional methods like PAC and GAC . In a pilot-scale trial, Ecosorb demonstrated significant color reduction in molasses, achieving the highest removal capacity at a 1.0% dosing rate. The S-508 variant was identified as the top performer, showcasing its ability to treat unfiltered molasses effectively. By integrating Ecosorb into existing filtration systems, sugar manufacturers can expect improved yields of white sugar and syrup while reducing operational costs. This innovative solution not only enhances product quality but also supports sustainable practices in the sugar industry.
