Talodura process

Talodura. The Talodura process, used in syrup clarification, consists of using a combination of sulfite clarification followed by subsequent clarification of the evaporated liquor with lime and phosphoric acid to which a flocculant is added. It has led to improvements in the color of the mill white sugar, boiling house recovery, and chemical costs per ton of sugar.46... 

There are other white sugar processes such as (1) treatment with vegetable carbons, (2) treatment with ion exchange resins, and (3) Talodura process. These processes are in fact supplemental clarification methods, adopted by some manufacturers with specific objectives.
