Preparation Method
"Preparation Method of Citric Acid Monohydrate (Raw Materials and Production Process, Reaction Steps, Catalytic Mechanism) "
Preparation of citric acid monohydrate, the raw materials are the most heavy. Usually start with dried potato, corn and other starch-rich things. First grind it, add water to form a pulp, and add amylase to hydrolyze the starch into dextrin.
Then add saccharification enzyme to obtain glucose liquid. Access to Aspergillus niger and ferment at a suitable temperature. This process requires temperature control and ventilation to make Aspergillus metabolize and produce citric acid.
After fermentation, the filtrate is removed from impurities, and the ion exchange resin is used to remove impurity ions. Then concentrate and crystallize to precipitate citric acid monohydrate. Centrifuge and dry at low temperature to obtain the finished product. Its catalytic mechanism is that the enzyme system in the body of Aspergillus niger promotes the transformation of the substrate through a series of biochemical reactions. The whole production process is rigorous in steps to obtain high-quality citric acid monohydrate.
Chemical Reactions & Modifications
Citric acid monohydrate, its transformation is wonderful, related to many reactions and characteristics. In ancient chemical exploration, this substance often shows wonderful changes.
When it encounters a base, it is like yin and yang, and it reacts quickly. Hydrogen ions segregate and form a salt and water state, which is often neutralized by acid and base. And in some catalytic environments, it can promote organic reactions, change the rate and direction of the reaction, like a piloting boat.
And because of its unique structure, it can be investigated in the shape and dissolution of crystals. The arrangement of its lattice affects the dissolution rate, and in the solution, the state of ions also changes with the environment, either promoting or inhibiting the reaction of other substances, showing the wonders of chemical change and modification, which is worthy of further investigation.
