Process for regenerating ion exchange resins in the process of decalcifying sugar juices

摘要

Process for decalcifying refined sugar syrup obtained during a sugar-making process comprises passing the sugar syrup containing Ca ions over a strong cationic ion exchange resin in Na<+> or K<+> form to replace the Ca ions by sodium and/or potassium ions, and subsequently regenerating the ion exchange resin by washing with dilute molasses.
