Calcium Citrate is the calcium salt of citric acid which is extensively employed in the pharmaceutical, nutraceuticals and medical sector. It is a non-flammable chemical compound with various chemical, food, and pharmaceutical applications.
The compound stands as an excellent source of calcium in the medical sector. It is used as an additive in some dietary calcium supplements. It is easy to absorb and easy to digest. Hence, the compound is used to improve the calcium levels in the body of an individual. Calcium, as an element, helps in building strong bones, maintaining heart health and more.
Calcium Citrate’s importance in the food, chemical and pharmaceutical sectors business is highlighted by its many various uses in the production of dietary supplements, as well as by its advantages in the chemical industry. The medical, pharmaceutical, and nutraceutical industries recognize the value of Calcium Citrate since it is crucial for maintaining heart health, bone health, and general well-being.
The compound is essential to the pharmaceutical and medical industries, however, the price and availability of Calcium Citrate feedstock, as well as its market value, distribution—which includes trading and transportation—logistics, etc., are some major elements that affect the industrial Calcium Citrate procurement. Therefore, purchasing patterns for it globally, are greatly influenced by its necessity as a key component for the chemical, food and pharmaceutical industries.
Raw Material for Calcium Citrate Production
According to the Calcium Citrate production plant project report, the major raw materials for Calcium Citrate production includes citric acid-, calcium hydroxide; citric acid-, calcium carbonate.
Production Process of Calcium Citrate
The extensive Calcium Citrate production cost report consists of the major industrial production processes:
- Production by the Chemical Reaction of Citric Acid and Calcium Hydroxide: The synthesis of Calcium Citrate initiates with a chemical reaction between citric acid and calcium hydroxide. The process neutralizes the acidic substance of the source components, resulting in the production of Calcium Citrate as the final product.
Production by the Chemical Reaction Between Citric Acid and Calcium Carbonate: The chemical reaction between citric acid and calcium carbonate initiates the production process of Calcium Citrate. This chemical interaction results in the acid-base interaction resulting in formation of Calcium Citrate along with water, carbon dioxide as the end products of the production process.
Calcium Citrate is an organic compound with a complex chemical formulation. It is a calcium salt that comprises twelve carbon, ten hydrogen, three calcium, and fourteen oxygen atoms. Its molecular weight is 498.4 g/mol. It is a white, fine powdered substance with no odor. It generally exits in tetrahydrate form, with good water solubility. However, it is insoluble in alcohol. Calcium Citrate is a colorless to white chemical with good water solubility. The compound remains stable under normal conditions. However, it remains incompatible with strong oxidizers.
