Abstract
In the sugar industry, ion-exchange resins have a problem with regener ation waste disposal since the regeneration effluent contains a high c oncentration of sodium chloride and colored organics. In the present w ork the recovery and recycling of waste brine previously used for deco lorizing sugar liquor has been investigated using cost-effective organ ic spiral-wound nanofiltration membranes. A 74% reduction in salt cons umption and an 89% reduction in water consumption were achieved in the batch configuration at VCF 9.
