Any method? Materials, engineering, any technology. I am a product design student, so any possible method is useful to me. I am thinking to add this kind of technology into my concept.

If you have the money for a reverse osmosis machine, maybe. – chipbuster Jun 08 '17 at 02:54

What is a reverse osmosis machine @@? – Michael Yan Jun 08 '17 at 02:56

1We're gonna need some more details about what the goal is here. Is it okay if the sugar is poisonous to people after extraction (I can think of two techniques that do this)? Does it need to be dried later on? What if the process costs billions of dollars to work on a single can of soda? Is that acceptable? What if it's relatively cheap but takes a few months? – chipbuster Jun 08 '17 at 02:58

1@MichaelYan You take a filter that lets water through, but not salt or sugar, then apply pressure to squeeze all the water from one side to the other. Salts, sugars, and other things get left on the first side. The problem is that this is very expensive and you still have to do a bit more extraction after it's finished. – chipbuster Jun 08 '17 at 03:00

@chipbuster ya thats what a want but is that possible that I can block the melted sugar in the water by using a filter? Do you have any related source and link that I can take a look :) – Michael Yan Jun 08 '17 at 03:10

1If by boiling you mean heating, then you could apply vacuum until the water was gone, or let it air dry. – A.K. Jun 08 '17 at 03:56

It's possible to freeze out the water and get the crystals of sugar that separate out – Pritt says Reinstate Monica Jun 08 '17 at 04:13

2Of course there is a way: the millennia-old nanotechnology known as yeast fermentation. It has a side effect of producing alcohol, though. – Ivan Neretin Jun 08 '17 at 05:44
