Decolorization of melt liquor in the sugar refinery unit using ozone

The sugar industry primarily produces raw and refined sugar. Refined sugar, also known as white sugar, holds greater importance due to its closer connection to market segments and consumers. One of the main objectives of raw sugar refinery units is to eliminate the color of sugar. The use of ozone for decolorization is one of the promising methods in this field. Subsequently, in this study, after designing the ozonation system, based on experimental and statistical analysis, the average percentage of color reduction in operational melt liquor samples from the sugar refinery unit was approximately ۳۵%. Therefore, ozone can be proposed as an effective color-removing agent in sugar refinery unit.
