Applications - Products purification
Different compounds can be recovered from aqueous solutions by ion exchange and /or adsorbent resins.
Three possible ways are generally considered:
A) Impurities elimination
Examples:
- Sugar and sweeteners
- Organic acids
- Gelatine
- Boron removal
- Heavy metals removal
- Brine decalcification
- Brine desulphatation
- Chlorinated solvents removal
- Aromatic solvents removal
- Grape must
- Citrus juice debittering/decolorization etc...
B) Products isolation and recovery
Examples:
- Natural extracts/polyphenols
- Amino acids
- Antibiotics
- Vitamins
- Enzymes
- etc...
C) Products fractionation (chromatography)
Examples:
- Molasses desugarization
- Glucose and fructose separation
- Polyols purification
- Prebiotics purification
