Industrial glucose solid product is pure white, white powder, highly soluble in water.
Fast hydrolysis rate and weak hydration effect. The formed alum flowers are dense and settle quickly.
It is less affected by changes in water temperature and can meet the requirements for generating shear forces during the flow process.
It can effectively remove aluminum ions from the source water and residual free aluminum ions in the water after aluminum salt coagulation.
The dosage is small, the treatment effect is good, and the cost is saved by 10-20% compared to other coagulants.

 

Industrial glucose itself is sweet because its main component is glucose. The purity requirement for food grade glucose is very high, usually above 99.99%, while the purity requirement for industrial glucose is above 80%. Due to the low purity of industrial glucose, it may contain some impurities that can affect its sweetness and make it taste more astringent and salty. In addition, industrial glucose that has not been further purified may contain impurities such as chlorides, heavy metal salts, arsenic salts, sulfates, etc. Although these impurities do not mask sweetness, they may contain toxicity and should not be consumed as food or seasoning.

 

The role of industrial glucose in wastewater: Why is industrial glucose added in wastewater treatment? During the debugging period of wastewater treatment, industrial glucose is added to provide a carbon source, which is to better cultivate bacteria, improve the biodegradability of wastewater, effectively improve the affinity of sludge, and achieve faster results than urea. If the COD and BOD in the running system are not sufficient to supply the growth and reproduction of bacteria, additional addition is needed to prevent sludge aging and decreased biological activity.


Industrial grade glucose leather can be used to treat leather, such as shoe sole leather, leather box leather, etc., to increase its softness and serve as a reducing agent for chrome tanning.

 

Industrial glucose is used as a surface cleaning agent for steel: If the steel surface needs to be plated with a bowl, chrome, tin, or nickel to adapt to special purposes, such as manufacturing tinplate, galvanized sheet, or surface chrome plating (electrical degree), the surface of the steel billet needs to be strictly cleaned to ensure that the coating is firmly bonded to the steel surface. At this time, adding sodium gluconate to the cleaning agent will achieve a very ideal effect.


Industrial glucose can be used as a cement admixture: adding a certain amount of gluconic acid to cement can increase the plasticity and strength of concrete, and has a blocking effect, delaying the initial and final setting periods of concrete. For example, adding 0.15% gluconic acid can extend the initial setting time of concrete by more than 10 times, which means extending the plasticity time of concrete from a few hours to a few days without affecting its fastness.

 

Industrial glucose can be used in many industrial fields such as electroplating and film manufacturing.

 

Used as a specialized cleaning agent for glass bottles: A professional cleaning agent for glass bottles mainly formulated with sodium gluconate can improve the following common problems: weak descaling ability, easy blockage of the nozzle and pipeline of the bottle washing machine; The ability to remove rust from bottle stickers and bottlenecks is not ideal; The trace residue after washing is not ideal for food safety (such as phosphate residue); Washing water discharge becomes a public hazard;

 

Used in the field of medicine to regulate the acid-base balance in the human body and restore normal nerve function. For the same purpose, used as a food additive;


As a water quality stabilizer, its superiority lies in:
⑴ It has a significant coordination effect and is suitable for various formulas such as molybdenum, silicon, phosphorus, tungsten, nitrite, etc. Due to the influence of coordination effect, the corrosion inhibition effect is greatly improved;
(2) Contrary to general corrosion inhibitors, the corrosion inhibition rate increases with increasing temperature;
The technical requirements for scale inhibition ability require strong chelating ability for calcium, magnesium, and iron salts, especially excellent chelating effect on Fe3+;
(4) As a corrosion and scale inhibitor for circulating cooling water, it is incomparable to other corrosion and scale inhibitors currently used and can achieve the effect of eliminating public hazards;


Used in the food industry, it can be used as a food additive because it can effectively prevent the occurrence of low sodium syndrome. Sodium gluconate and potassium gluconate have excellent taste thresholds. Sodium gluconate is non irritating, has no bitter taste, and its salt taste is similar to that of table salt. Its threshold is much higher than other organic salts, which is 5 times that of table salt (inorganic salt), 2.6 times that of sodium malate, and 16.3 times that of sodium lactate. Sodium gluconate and potassium gluconate are used in food processing to regulate pH, improve food taste, and replace salt in processing healthy low salt or salt free (sodium chloride free) foods. They play a significant role in improving human health and enriching people's lives.


During the debugging period of sewage treatment, adding industrial glucose and other substances is to provide a carbon source, which is to better cultivate bacteria and improve the biodegradability of sewage. If the COD and BOD in the running system are not sufficient to supply the growth and reproduction of bacteria, additional addition is needed to prevent sludge aging and decreased biological activity.

 

It can be directly used in the food and pharmaceutical industries, as a reducing agent in the printing, dyeing and leather industry, and commonly used as a reducing agent in the mirror industry and silver plating process of hot water bottle liners. In industry, glucose is also widely used as a raw material to synthesize vitamin C (ascorbic acid).
