Description
Sugar
Our roots are in the sugar industry: Norit was founded more than a century ago to commercialize patented technology for sugar purification! Our product portfolio has of course come a long way since then. Dedicated NORIT® activated carbon grades are used in cane sugar refining, as well as in liquid sugar purification for beverage plants.
Our purification products effectively remove:
- Natural pigments (polyphenols)
- Impurities formed during processing: melanoidins, caramels, …,
- Impurities originating from mostly sugar cane: natural pigments amino acids, polysaccharides, …
- Various off odors
For cane sugar refining we supply:
- Granular Activated Carbon with high decolorizing capacity, high buffering capacity (magnesite grades), high mechanical strength for reactivation.
- Powdered Activated Carbons:Â chemically or steam activated, depending on the main color and odor challenges. Neutral pH grades to avoid hydrolysis (‘inversion’) and melanoidin formation. High filtration rates for viscous syrups.
For liquid sugar treatment we offer:
- Powdered Activated Carbons:Â different types tailored to liquid cane, or liquid beet sugar treatment.
- Granular Activated Carbons:Â likewise different types, including high purity types for use after ion exchange.

| Description |
NORIT CN1 powdered activated carbon: designed for the purification of (highly) discolored and/or foaming process liquids.
It is used in
- food
- beverage
- pharma
- fine chemical applications that require a purification aid with a neutral pH, such as the purification of pH sensitive pharmaceuticals and clarified cane sugar syrups.
This high activity mesoporous product is especially suitable where:
- Medium to dark discolorations need to be removed (typically dark yellow to brown)
- Medium to high molecular weight impurities are targeted (e.g. degradation or condensation side products, natural pigments, oligopeptides.)
- The treated solution is aqueous
- A high purity, neutral pH adsorbent is required
- Excellent filtration rates and minimal filter aid demand are desired
NORIT CN1 powdered activated carbon is produced by chemical activation (phosphoric acid process) of a renewable raw material (wood). The activation process, followed by an extensive wash process with final neutralization, and dedicated milling, results in the well-developed meso-porosity, high purity, neutral pH, and excellent filterability.
