Best Answer

The sugar cane is crushed to extract the juice. This breaks up the hard nodes of the cane and flattens the stems. the juice is then collected, filtered and sometimes treated. It is then boiled to drive off excess water. The dried cane residue (baggasse) is often used as a fuel for this process. The remaining liquid is allowed to set into a solid, known as jaggery; gur; chancara or panela.

Sugar can be removed from sugar cane by using a milling technique where the cane is squeezed between mechanical rollers to remove the juice. Another technique is diffusion where a machine with an enclosed drum, a base of sugar cane is gradually pulled through water.

How can you separate salt and sugar already dissolve in water?

It will be difficult to separate them in something that they both dissolve into (like water or ethanol). You can try changing the temperature and the sugar may precipitate out, depending on the sugar. To get a complete separation I would evaporated the water first and just separate the salt and sugar. Then you can separate the solids by dissolving the sugar into a polar solvent like toluene. NaCl will not dissolve in toluene but all of the sugar should.


How can materials be classified on the basis of physical state?

Ans. Mixtures are classified as homogeneous and heterogeneous on the basis of their physical property Homogeneous mixture. Heterogeneous mixture. A homogeneous mixture has no visible boundaries of separation between the various constituents. A heterogeneous mixture has visible boundaries of separation between the various constituents. has a uniform composition throughout its mass. It does not have a uniform composition throughout its mass. A mixture of sugar in water is a Homogeneous mixture. It has the same sugar-water composition throughout and all parts of it have the same sweetness. The mixture of sugar and sand is heterogeneous mixture.
