Book excerpt: Excerpt from Beet-Sugar Manufacture and Refining, Vol. 2: Evaporation, Graining and Factory Control Necessity of concentration. - Sugar when in solution will not crystallize unless brought to a given concentration, to which there is a limit that cannot be exceeded. For all crystallizable substances there is a limit of solubility which varies with the temperature, substances being generally more soluble when hot than when cold. If a hot and concentrated sugar solution is cooled, a point is reached at which more sugar is dissolved than if it were attempted to produce a syrup by dissolution at the same temperature. From this point on there is a tendency for the excess of dissolved sugar to separate and appear in a crystallized form. Upon this fundamental principle the sugar manufacturer depends in endeavoring to put into practice some method or process for obtaining the final sugar from a concentrated juice or syrup. The first essentials of the problem consist in driving out the water under economical conditions, and this is accomplished in two phases, the first of which is the subject now under consideration, known as evaporation, while the second is known as graining, which is treated under a special caption. With a view to effecting fuel economy numerous efforts have been made during the past hundred years to do away with evaporation.
