Trisodium citrate → Citric Acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

Electrodialysis was carried out similarly to Example 2, using 1000 parts of a one-molar aqueous trisodium citrate solution in compartment (9) and 1000 parts of 0.1 molar sodium hydroxide solution in compartment (8). 940 parts of an aqeuous solution of citric acid (1.0 mole/kg, corresponding to a material yield of 94% and a current efficiency of 92%) were obtained in compartment (9), and 1264 parts of sodium hydroxide solution (1.72 moles of NaOH per kg, corresponding to a material yield of 69%) were obtained in compartment (8).
