Colour Balance

The document provides information and calculations for colour balance in a sugar refining process using raw sugar with a colour of 1400 IU. It lists assumptions and measured values for raw materials and products at each stage of refining including phosphotation and ion exchange. Colour values are provided for the melt liquor, clarified liquor, fine liquor and refined sugar syrups and sugars from R1 to R4. Calculations determine the colour reductions needed at phosphotation and ion exchange to achieve a target affined sugar colour of 1000 IU.
