Effects of Sugar Solution Color on Measurements of Quartz-Wedge Saccharimeters
Melle, H., Zander, K., et.al.  1980.  In practical use, saccharimeters were used to determine the sugar contents of technical sugar products such as raw sugar or molasses. The colors of these solutions act as light filters, which change the effective wavelength. The aim of this work is to report the…
Distillation and Rectification in the Production of Water Free Alcohol
De Luzuriaga, E.R.  1980.  There are many processes and many dehydrants available in the production of water free alcohol. There are: the azeotropic pressure process, the azeotropic non-pressure process, the quicklime and other solid dehydrant pressure/vacuum process, etc. At VMC the azeotropic non-pressure…
Chlorine Treatment for Mud Ponds and Mill Sanitation
Legendre, I.E. Jr.  1980.  The use of chlorine gas in place of H.T.H to reduce the smell in the mud ponds was decided, as is easily handled, mixes well with water and the amount of dosage could be accurately measured. This chlorine treatment has helped to improve the quality of raw sugar yield and better storage properties.…
Breakage of Sugar Crystals on Impact
Swindells, R.J. and White, E.T.  1980.  Breakage increased with increasing velocity and increasing crystal size. Surprisingly, raw and refined sugars showed differing results. Changes in impact angle gave unexpected results. Coating the impact surface with rubber reduced the amount of breakage. A liquid surface gave far less breakage and…
Total Energy
Bailliet, V.J.  1981.  This paper is called “total energy” because it involves a means to liberate the Louisiana Sugar factories from their dependence on supplemental fuel and purchased electric power. Total Energy. Sugar Journal, March 1981:12-13.
