Abstract

The Challenge: Scaling in sugar evaporators, a major bottleneck in cane sugar production, is primarily caused by calcium and magnesium hardness naturally present in the extracted juice. Traditionally, chemical softening has been a go-to solution to tackle this kind of challenge, but it suffers from drawbacks like waste generation and pH control challenges. Enters Ion Exchange: Proven successful in the beet industry, ion exchange offers a cleaner and more efficient alternative. However, adapting it to cane's complex juice matrix has been elusive due to organic fouling and higher operating temperatures. The Innovation studied: We present a novel ion exchange technology specifically tailored for cane juice softening. Our poster unveils: • The Scientific Underpinning: Explore the ion exchange principles and their application in cane juice softening, delving into the selection of optimal resins and regeneration strategies. • Experimental Prowess: Witness the details of our pilot-scale trials at operational sugar mills. We'll showcase data on hardness removal efficiency, resin performance, and operational stability. • ROI Revelation: Unmask the financial muscle of this technology. We'll present a comprehensive Return on Investment (ROI) analysis at industrial scale, factoring in capital expenditure, operating costs, and sugar yield improvement. Impactful Outcomes: Beyond environmental benefits like reduced waste and water usage, the innovation promises: Enhanced Evaporator Efficiency: Minimized scaling translates to extended run time and reduced cleaning downtime. • Improved Sugar Quality: Consistent juice quality leads to superior sugar crystal formation and purity. • Boosted Profitability: The compelling ROI makes this technology a lucrative proposition for any cane sugar mill. This poster unveils a game-changer for the cane industry. demystifying the science, showcasing successful trials, and quantifying the economic benefits, this demonstration could pave the way widespread adoption of this sustainable and cost-effective solution. In conclusion the poster shows how Ion exchange can revolutionize cane juice softening and usher new era of efficiency and profitability for the industry. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

International audience; Notably available from the cellulose contained in lignocellulosic biomass, glucose is a highly attractive substrate for eco-efficient processes towards high-value chemicals. A recent strategy for biomass valorization consists on combining biocatalysis and chemocatalysis to realise the so-called chemo-enzymatic or hybrid catalysis. Optimisation of the glucose conversion to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is the object of many research efforts. HMF can be produced by chemo-catalyzed fructose dehydration, while fructose can be selectively obtained from enzymatic glucose isomerization. Despite recent advances in HMF production, a fully integrated efficient process remains to be demonstrated. Our innovative approach consists on a continuous process involving enzymatic glucose isomerization, selective arylboronic-acid mediated fructose complexation/transportation, and chemical fructose dehydration to HMF. We designed a novel reactor based on two aqueous phases dynamically connected via an organic liquid membrane, which enabled substantial enhancement of glucose conversion (70%) while avoiding intermediate separation steps. Furthermore, in the as-combined steps, the use of an immobilized glucose isomerase and an acidic resin facilitates catalyst recycling
