Abstract
A process for refining a raw sugar, particularly raw sugar from the sugar cane sugar industry, characterized in that it comprises the steps of: PA1 (a) remelting of the raw sugar for obtaining a raw sugar syrup, PA1 (b) carbonatation or phosphatation of said raw sugar syrup, and PA1 (c) tangential microfiltration and/or tangential ultrafiltration of the raw sugar syrup, which has been subjected to carbonatation or phosphatation. The process is completed by the steps of: PA1 (d) decolorization of the sugar syrup resulting from step (c), and PA1 (e) crystallization and/or demineralization of the sugar syrup resulting from step (d).
