Trisodium citrate dihydrate - Introduction
Sodium citrate dihydrate (Na2C6H6O7 · 2H2O) is a common organic salt commonly used in chemical laboratories and the food industry. The following is a description of the nature, use, preparation and safety information of sodium citrate dihydrate:
1. Nature:
-Appearance: Sodium citrate dihydrate is colorless crystals or white particles, odorless and a little salty.
-Solubility: It is miscible with solvents such as water and ethanol, but almost insoluble in ether.
-Stability: Sodium citrate dihydrate is relatively stable, but it will decompose at high temperatures.
2. Use:
-Food industry: Sodium citrate dihydrate is a common food additive used for flavoring agents, sour agents and antioxidants.
-Chemical Laboratory: it is used for the preparation of buffer solution, adjust the acid-base situation, and as a coordination reagent.
-Pharmaceutical field: In certain pharmaceutical preparations, sodium citrate dihydrate can be used as an excipient.
3. Preparation method:
Sodium citrate dihydrate can be prepared by reacting citric acid with sodium hydroxide. First, an appropriate amount of citric acid was dissolved in water, and then an appropriate amount of sodium hydroxide solution was added and stirred until the reaction was complete. Finally, the solution is crystallized or concentrated to obtain sodium citrate dihydrate.
4. Safety Information:
-Sodium citrate dihydrate is considered relatively safe for general use, but care should still be taken to avoid direct contact with eyes and skin.
-use should be careful to avoid mixing with strong acids and oxidants to prevent dangerous reactions.
-Wear appropriate protective equipment such as gloves and glasses during handling.
-If splashed into eyes or skin, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical treatment.
