Abstract

The invention relates to a process for continuous separation of mixtures of sugars and/or polyols. The mixture is fed to an installation comprised of at least 3 adsorbent filled columns connected in series. The columns represent absorption, enrichment and desorption zones respectively. The process provides for the continuous sequential operation of the columns as absorption, enrichment and desorption zones.
