T h e AMBERLITES and the coming revolution

MO R E sugar per ton of beets or cane— at lower cost per pound—is the prom­

i se the AMBERLITES hold for the postwar sugar process industry. Today, this promise would he fact were it not for restrictions which bar the building of commercial AMBER-LITE Ion Exchange sugar processing units.

BASIS OF PREDICTION T h e complete practicability of employing A M B E R L I T E Resins in the purification of sugar juices has been demonstrated in ex­tensive tests covering a period of three years. These tests have been conducted by The Dorr Company and i t s subsidiary, Petree & Dorr Engineers, Inc., with the cooperation of T h e Amalgamated Sugar Co.- and The Res inous Products & Chemical Company.

ADVANTAGES CITE A m o n g the proved advantages ofthe= new processing method a r e thte following:

1. It produces pnrity·!—iscs o f 6 lo 10 points, depending upon ttilic initial nunsty of juices. This increases e3ctrarlic3n, reduces sugar loss in final Eiiolass«es. 2. It removes from 50» to 90^6 of t£he color present in t h e jui*cc. 3. It effects a marked decrcassc in d i e amount of ultra nxicroscropic colloids in the juice. 4. It improves t i ie quality o*^" the Jfin· ished sugar. 5· It substantially cliineinatcs «Dpcrating difficulties, such a s tliG>sc arising from the scaling of heating ssrorfaces» ash con­tent, excessive viscosity, etc.

So sweeping are these advantages that it appears that the AMBERLITE Ion Exchange Resins will radically change the present methods of sugar production.

Other Important Applications Through the use of AMBERLITE Ion Ex­change Resins, water conditioning proc­esses, synthetic rubber production and for­maldehyde purification are being improved. These versatile resins are also highly valu­able in the recovery of copper, manganese, nickel and other strategic materials from wastes. The purification of fine chemicals, drugs and dyestuffs is another application.

? c4The processing of sugar cane and sugar beet juices for the production of sugar is under­going a major improvement— probably the greatest encoun­tered during several decades. This improvement has been made possible by the develop­

ment of AMBERLITE Synthetic Mon Exchange Resins."
