CHANGES IN SUGAR PRODUCTION DECOMPOSING IRON COMPLEXES WITH OPTIMUM LIME

摘要

Sugarcane, labour and capital are the well known common inputs for the production of sugar. Output of sugar behaves in response to some increase in one particular input or all inputs. Assuming that the amount of factors of production remains constant, change in the amount of production (output) will depend exclusively on change in technology by decomposition of unidentified iron complexes applying electrolytic clarification using optimised lime dose from cane juice during sugar manufacturing. The iron content was deposited at cathode often decomposition of iron complexes. As a result percentage of sucrose as well as purity (output) show increasing pattern, which can be treated as increasing returns to the scale of a sugar industry.
