EXTRACTION OF VALUABLE COMPONENTS FROM CANE VINASSE

摘要

Provided is a process for extracting valuable components from cane vinasse comprising a) filtering said cane vinasse to produce a retentate (RA) and a permeate (PA), b) concentrating said permeate (PA) to produce a permeate (PB) and a retentate (RB), c) performing ion exclusion chromatography on said retentate (RB) to produce an extract (EC) and a raffinate (RC), d) performing one or both of the following: i) performing affinity chromatography on said extract (EC) to produce a raffinate (RDI) that contains inositol and an extract (EDI) that contains glycerol, and ii) performing a separation on said raffinate (RC) to produce a retentate (RDII) that contains polycosanol.
