Preparation and characterization of magnetic chitosan-modified diatomite for the removal of gallic acid and caffeic acid from sugar solution

The phenolic substances in sugar cane juice affect the color value of white sugar. A magnetic chitosan-modified-diatomite (MCMD), as a new type of clarifying agent for sugar, prepared via a co-precipitation method combined with cross-linking treatment was firstly used to adsorb two primary phenolic acids of sugarcane juice: gallic acid (GA) and caffeic acid (CA). The maximum adsorption capacities for GA and CA by MCMD were 31.949 mg g–1 and 27.640 mg g–1, respectively. Additionally, our results showed that adsorption of GA and CA on MCMD fitted well with the pseudo-second-order model and Langmuir equation, respectively. The adsorption, a physical spontaneous endothermic process, might have involved electrostatic attraction and micropore filling. Importantly, MCMD has good regenerability and achieves better sulfur-free clarification of sugar cane juice and improves more significantly the food safety of white sugar than the traditional decolorization method.
