Malic Acid → Malic Acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

An aqueous solution of malic acid is prepared by mixing 5.859 kg of malic acid with 18.18 L of water until the solution is clear. An aqueous solution of magnesium oxide is also prepared in a separate container by thoroughly mixing 3.515 kg of magnesium oxide in 18.18 L of water. The magnesium oxide solution is then slowly added to the malic acid solution. The resulting solution is cooled, and then spray dried to produce a powdered dimagnesiumhydroxy malate.
