ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a process for recovering wax from filter cake derived from the treatment of sugar cane in the production of cane sugar. The process involves taking up the wax in water by forming an aqueous slurry of the filter cake, adding a surface active agent to the slurry to assist the release of wax from the fibres in the slurry and then heating the slurry to melt the wax which then passes into the water. Thereafter an extractant for the wax, such as kerosene, is added to the slurry to extract the wax whereafter the extractant is separated off, the wax is allowed to crystallize on cooling and is then recovered by filtration or centrifuging.
