A simplified flow sheet for the manufacture of sugar is shown in the figure. Sugar cane is fed to a The syrup (E) mill where syrup is squeezed out and the resulting-bagasse" contains 80% pulp. containing finely divided pieces of pulp are fed to a screen which removes all the pulp a clear syrup (H) containing 15% sugar and 85% water. The evaporator makes "heavy" syrup and the crystallizer produces 1000 lb/h of sugar crystals.

b. Find the rate of cane sugar fed to the unit, lb/h

c. Of the sugar fed in the mill, what percentage is lost with the bagasse?

d. What is the percentage recovery of sugar?

e. Find the composition of the waste stream, G
