FAQ

Q1: What makes LPF effective for sugar decolorization?

A: LPF's phosphoric acid activation creates a mesopore-rich structure that selectively adsorbs large pigment molecules while allowing smaller sugar molecules to pass through, maximizing decolorization efficiency without sugar loss.

Q2: What ICUMSA color values can LPF achieve?

A: When properly applied, LPF can reduce sugar liquor color to <45 ICUMSA units, meeting premium refined sugar specifications.

Q3: Is LPF suitable for organic sugar processing?

A: Yes, LPF meets organic processing requirements and can be used in certified organic sugar refining operations.

Q4: What is the typical dosage rate?

A: Standard dosage ranges from 0.5-2% by weight of sugar liquor, depending on initial color intensity and target ICUMSA specifications.

Q5: Can used LPF be regenerated?

A: No, spent carbon cannot be economically regenerated for food applications. We recommend thermal disposal or agricultural use of spent carbon.
