<p>Process for the treatment of molasses obtained as by-products in the sugar manufacture, comprising the steps of chromatographic separation from a first fraction of molasses of a plurality of fractions, one of which at least rich in sugar, and one at low sugar content; mixing said fraction at low sugar content with a second fraction of molasses in order to obtain a must diluted at a dilution which is apt for a following treatment of fermentation; fermentation of said diluted must, and separation and if necessary purification of the product obtained from said treatment and discharge of the residue. The process is performed in a plant comprising a chromatographic separation column (1) in which a fraction of molasses is fed from (2) and water from (3) and (4). In (5) a fraction rich in sugar is extracted, whilst the fraction in (7) at low content of sugar is fed to the vat (11) together with a second fraction of molasses fed from (12), and is fermented. The fermented product is distilled in (13). <IMAGE></p> |
