Abstract:

In this study, a mimic experiment for alcohol production from sugar cane molasses was used to explore the fouling factors in sedimentary process. Chemical and quality analysis methods were used to characterize chemical compositions and settlement pattern of materials in key process points. The physical and chemical properties of fouling factors were also analyzed during the change of processing. Three important parameters such as apparent fouling, apparent heat-degradable fouling and apparent heat-stable fouling were proposed to illustrate general formation process of fouling in the whole alcohol production process from sugar cane molasses.

Key words: molasses, alcohol, fouling, apparent fouling, apparent heat-degradable fouling, apparent heat-stable fouling
