Trisodium Citrate Dihydrate (Sodium Citrate Dihydrate) – For Technical Use Only
Trisodium citrate dihydrate is a chemical substance consisting of sodium salts of citric acid. The product is supplied exclusively for technical and industrial purposes and is not approved for food, feed, or pharmaceutical use.
Chemical Formula and Structure
Trisodium citrate dihydrate has the chemical formula C₆H₉Na₃O₉·2H₂O, where:
- C₆H₉ represents carbon and hydrogen in the citrate portion of the molecule
- Na₃ refers to the three sodium ions that neutralize the negative charges of the citrate
- O₉ refers to the oxygen atoms in the citrate structure
- 2H₂O indicates that the product occurs as a dihydrate (two molecules of water of crystallization)
Production:
The product is manufactured by complete neutralization of citric acid (C₆H₈O₇) with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) or sodium carbonate (Na₂CO₃). After neutralization, the compound is crystallized to form trisodium citrate dihydrate.
