Sugar Refining
Hydrated lime (calcium hydroxide) is vital to the production of sugar from both sugar cane and sugar beets. Primarily used in the sugar industry for pH correction, it’s also used to remove impurities and colour from the sugar solution during sugar refining.
Refining sugar is an exact science, which is why high purity hydrated lime is essential to eliminate waste and ensure efficiency throughout the sugar refining process. Our Calbux quicklime (calcium oxide) and Limbux hydrated lime products provide the chemical consistency and purity required for the rapid reaction and clarification of sugarcane juice.
