Magnesium Citrate Manufacturer

Manufacturing process of Magnesium Citrate

Magnesium Citrate is manufactured through a carefully controlled process to ensure high purity, consistent quality, and compliance with pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and food-grade standards.

Step 1: Raw Material Selection

High-quality citric acid and a suitable magnesium source are selected and tested to ensure they meet the required quality specifications.

Step 2: Preparation of Solutions

Citric acid is dissolved in purified water to prepare a clear solution. The magnesium source is separately prepared in the required concentration.

Step 3: Controlled Reaction

The magnesium solution is gradually added to the citric acid solution under continuous stirring. The reaction is carried out under controlled temperature and pH conditions to ensure complete formation of Magnesium Citrate.

Step 4: pH Adjustment

The reaction mixture is monitored continuously, and the pH is adjusted as required to achieve complete conversion and obtain the desired product quality.

Step 5: Maturation

The reaction mixture is allowed to mature under controlled conditions to ensure complete reaction and uniform crystal formation.

Step 6: Crystallization

The solution is cooled under controlled conditions, allowing Magnesium Citrate crystals to form. Process parameters are carefully maintained to achieve the desired crystal size and purity.

Step 7: Filtration

The crystallized Magnesium Citrate is separated from the mother liquor using suitable filtration equipment to remove the liquid phase and process impurities.

Step 8: Washing

The filtered crystals are washed with purified water to remove residual soluble impurities and improve product purity.

Step 9: Drying

The washed Magnesium Citrate is dried under controlled temperature and humidity conditions using suitable drying equipment until the required moisture content is achieved. The dried product is then ready for milling, quality testing, and packaging.
