WhatsappMagnesium acetate Tetrahydrate Manufacturing process
Step 1: Raw Material Selection
- Select high-purity Magnesium Oxide (MgO) or Magnesium Carbonate (MgCO₃).
- Use glacial acetic acid (CH₃COOH) as the primary reactant.
Step 2: Reaction Process
- Dissolve Magnesium Oxide or Magnesium Carbonate in acetic acid under controlled conditions.
- The reaction forms Magnesium Acetate solution while releasing carbon dioxide (CO₂) if Magnesium Carbonate is used.
Step 3: Filtration
- Filter the solution to remove insoluble impurities and ensure a clear solution.
Step 4: Concentration
- The solution is concentrated under vacuum to achieve the desired purity and composition.
Step 5: Crystallization
- The concentrated solution is cooled gradually, allowing Magnesium Acetate Tetrahydrate crystals to form.
Step 6: Centrifugation & Drying
- Separate the formed crystals using centrifugation.
- Dry the product under controlled temperature to maintain its tetrahydrate form.
Step 7: Milling & Sieving
- The dried Magnesium Acetate Tetrahydrate is milled and sieved to achieve the desired particle size.
Step 8: Quality Control & Testing
- Conduct physical, chemical, and microbiological testing to ensure compliance with BP/USP/IP standards.
Step 9: Packing & Storage
- The final product is packed in HDPE drums or bags with proper labeling.
- Store in a cool, dry place, away from moisture and direct sunlight.
