➣ Required Question :-
Name the two important by products of sugar cane other than the sugar and Jaggery ?
➣ Required Answer :-
Two important by products of sugarcane are :-
1. Fuel and chemicals (Bagasse, Molasses and Alcohol)
2. Fertilizer (Press Mud and Spent Wash)
I) Bagasse :-
- Bagasse is the dry pulpy fibrous residue that remains after sugarcane or sorghum stalks are crushed to extract their juice.
- It is used as a biofuel for the production of heat, energy, and electricity, and in the manufacture of pulp and building materials.
- Agave bagasse is a similar material that consists of the tissue of the blue agave after extraction of the sap.
II) Alcohol :-
- Alcohol sometimes referred to by the chemical name ethanol, is a psychoactive drug that is the active ingredient in drinks such as beer, wine, and distilled spirits (hard liquor).
- It is one of the oldest and most common recreational substances, causing the characteristic effects of alcohol intoxication ("drunkenness").
- Among other effects, alcohol produces a mood lift and euphoria, decreased anxiety, increased sociability, sedation, impairment of cognitive, memory, motor, and sensory function, and generalized depression of central nervous system function.
III) Spent wash :-
- Spent wash is the residual liquid waste generated during alcohol production and pollution caused by it is one of the most critical environmental issues.
- Despite standards imposed on effluent quality, untreated or partially treated effluent very often finds access to water courses.
IV) Press mud :-
- Sugarcane press mud is the residue of the filtration of sugarcane juice.
- The clarification process separates the juice into a clear juice that rises to the top and goes for manufacture, and a mud that collects at the bottom.
- The mud is then filtered to separate the suspended matter, which includes insoluble salts and fine Bagasse.
- There are 3 types of filter :- the press filters, mechanical filters and rotary vacuum filters
