Citric Acid Monohydrate VS Anhydrous:
Anhydrous citric acid, molecular formula C6H8O7. The molecular formula of citric acid monohydrate is C6H8O7·H2O. Citric acid monohydrate is mainly used in the food and beverage industry as an acidulant, flavoring agent, preservative, and fresh-keeping agent; in the chemical, cosmetic, and washing industries, it is used as an antioxidant, plasticizer, and detergent. Anhydrous citric acid is also used in the food and beverage industry, but is more used in the manufacture of chemical drugs, followed by papermaking, aluminum smelting, tungsten smelting, rayon, artificial cotton, and soap manufacturing. In addition, in the production of dyes, plastics, pharmaceuticals, and in the electrolysis of water and the production of inorganic salts, a large amount of anhydrous citric acid is used to produce borax, chromium salts, manganates, phosphates and other substances.
When citric acid monohydrate is heated to 153℃ (dehydration), the critical temperature for solution crystallization is 36.6℃ (above 36.6℃, crystallization is anhydrous citric acid, below 36.6℃, crystallization is monohydrate citric acid). Generally speaking, the added materials contain a lot of water, and the addition ratio is usually very small. Therefore, adding these two citric acids hardly affects the water content, so both can be used.
Citric Acid Monohydrate Uses:
1. Used in the chemical industry to produce acetyl triethyl citrate or tributyl citrate and citrate, etc.
2. Mainly used as food additives in the food industry, used as acidulants, flavoring agents, preservatives, and preservatives in food and beverages.
3. Used as antioxidants, plasticizers, and detergents in the washing industry.
4. Used to adjust pH value and as a complexing agent in the electroplating industry. Used as a complexing agent in chemical plating and electroplating, and also used in the preparation of chemical plating and electroplating salts, and can also adjust the pH value of these electrolytes.
5. Used as an antioxidant synergist, flavoring agent, and fruit coloring agent, etc.
6. Reagents for determining bismuth, aluminum, copper, mercury, nickel, nitrite, hyponitrous acid, etc. Used for the preparation of buffer solutions and the preparation of biological culture media.
7. Used as an analytical reagent, such as a masking agent, to prepare buffer solutions; used as a chromatographic analysis reagent.
8. Used for metal etching.
9. Used as a surfactant in the cosmetics industry, used in cleaning products.
