[0002] The exudate extracted from sugar beets during sugar production, commonly known as syrup, contains various non-sugars and cannot be directly concentrated or boiled into sugar. Therefore, the exudate undergoes a series of purification steps. Purification aims to remove suspended particles, neutralize the acidity, remove colorants, and minimize non-sugars, particularly surfactants and colloids. Purification improves the purity of the juice, reduces viscosity and color, and prepares high-quality raw syrup for sugar boiling (crystallization). Beet sugar refineries typically produce high-quality white sugar directly from sugar beets, typically using the carbonation process. The exudate is pre-limed to neutralize acidity and maximize the coagulation and precipitation of non-sugars. It is then heated and an excess of lime milk is added. However, the carbonation purification process consumes a large amount of lime. Furthermore, the procurement of gases such as carbon dioxide for the carbonation process increases sugar production costs. Therefore, a method is needed to simultaneously prepare lime and separate the carbon dioxide for direct use in the carbonation process, thereby reducing costs and increasing efficiency.

It should be noted that in this embodiment, to ensure the weighing effect, flexible connections are used between the water inlet pipe and the barrel body 301, between the pipe of the lower discharge port and the barrel body 301, and between the pipe of the upper feed port and the barrel body 301. In addition, a star-shaped discharge valve is connected to the pipe between the upper feed port and the output end of the material temporary storage box 2.
[0020] In order to fully wash the kiln gas generated by the lime kiln 1, remove some impurities therein, and make full use of the carbon dioxide in the kiln gas, the kiln gas washing tower 4 includes a tower body 401, an air outlet 404 at the upper end of the tower body 401 is connected to the input end of the molecular sieve dryer 5 through a pipeline, and a sewage outlet is opened at the lower end.

[0027] During the sugar juice purification process, limestone is first fed into the lime kiln 1 from the top feed port for calcination, and the produced lime is discharged from the bottom discharge port and enters the material temporary storage box 2. The produced kiln gas enters the kiln gas washing tower 4 from the upper gas outlet and the pipeline, and the kiln gas enters the tower body 1 from the air inlet pipe 403 and then moves upward. The nozzle 405 simultaneously distributes water to wash the kiln gas. The clean gas after washing enters the molecular sieve dryer 5 for drying and then enters the gas storage tank 6; the valve at the lower end of the material temporary storage box 2 is started to allow the lime to enter the barrel 301, and the weighing module 302 weighs the lime. Then, the water pipe is opened to feed water according to the ratio, the weighing module 302 weighs the weight of the newly added water, and the batching motor 304 is started to drive the stirrer 303 to stir to prepare lime milk. After the sugar juice enters the purification section, It is passed into the progressive pre-ash tank 7, and then the lime milk is passed into the progressive pre-ash tank 7. The pre-ash juice after pre-ashing enters the main ash barrel 8, and a sufficient amount of lime milk is passed into the main ash barrel 8 to carry out the main ash process to form main ash juice. Then the carbon dioxide gas in the gas storage tank 6 is passed into the main ash barrel 8 for one-carbon saturation, and the liquid after one-carbon saturation is passed into the primary filter 9 for filtration. The filtered clear juice is passed into the intermediate tank 10, and then the carbon dioxide gas in the gas storage tank 6 is passed into the intermediate tank 10 for two-carbon saturation, and the liquid after two-carbon saturation is passed into the secondary filter 11 for filtration. The filtered two-clear juice is passed into the horizontal pipeline sulfur bleaching device 12, and sulfur dioxide gas is passed into the horizontal pipeline sulfur bleaching device 12 for sulfur bleaching. The sugar juice after sulfur bleaching is passed into the bag filter 13 for filtration, and the purification section is completed.
