How is sugar extracted from sugar cane?

The sugar cane stems are cut and taken to the processing plant where they are crushed. During crushing, a liquid if forced out of the stems. The liquid is separated from the remains of the crushed stems by a machine which spins the mixture. During the spinning, the solid stems stay in the machine and the liquid is spun out through holes, rather like the spin cycle of a washing machine. The liquid spun out of this machine is removed and taken to a different part of the plant where it is heated. During this process, water disappears and crystals of sugar form.The waste plant material left after the extraction of sugar used to be disposed of by burning, a process that produced a great deal of polluting smoke, solid particles and carbon dioxide. Today, much of this waste material is being used to produce useful ethanol and polymers (plastics).
