What Are The Differences In The Uses Of Sodium Citrate Powder And Magnesium Citrate Powder?

 

Sodium citrate powder is the sodium salt of citric acid. It is a white crystalline powder, readily soluble in water, safe, non-toxic, and biodegradable.

 

Key advantages:

• pH buffering capacity
• Metal ion chelating capacity

 

 

1. Medical Field

• Anticoagulants: Prevent blood clotting during transfusions;
• Pharmaceutical excipients: Used as buffers, preservatives, or expectorants.

 

2. Food Industry

• Acidity regulators: Enhance the refreshing taste of beverages and candies;
• Preservatives/emulsifiers: Extend shelf life and prevent oil separation.

 

3. Environmental Protection and Daily Chemicals

• Phosphorus-free detergents: Replace sodium tripolyphosphate, chelate hard water ions to improve detergency;
• Industrial cleaning: Sodium citrate bulk can remove scale or rust from equipment.

 

4. Other Applications

• Construction retarders
• Fuel gas desulfurization
• Electroplating additives
