Extracting the citric acid from lemons

Today we are extracting citric acid from some large large lemons. Citric acid is quite a useful molecule in general, but I don't have any particular uses for it. It is mostly used as a pH buffering agent in chemistry and isn't use in direct synthesis.
A buffering solution is a solution that resists pH change. It is useful in synthesis when you need to keep the pH relatively constant during a reaction.
In my Cadaverine video, I used citric acid to make a pH buffer solution: • Making cadaverine

"I applied a downward force to press the lemons into the juicer. The idea was to use enough force to rupture the juice vesicles, allowing the juice to drip into the collection bin below, but not so much force that the friction of the lemon against the juicer would prevent me from rotating it. I decided to use a clockwise rotation..."

For a purer product, it probably would be a good idea to re boil the calcium citrate in fresh distilled water after filtering, washing and drying in the frit, then filtering again after a short boil. This should really clean the calcium citrate for the reacidification step.

@ethankoeus9581 Год назад

I've used citric acid before as a metal chelator in reactions which are sensitive to the presence of said ions, or in reactions where something might oxidise. I've used citric acid to chelate iron ions in solution when synthesising potassium salicylate (I was attempting to synthesise a soluble salicylate salt) as well as to slow the oxidation of salicylate in the presence of light.

Citric Acid is used as part of the clean up process in Wine production, so as a chemical cleaning agent. We would then follow it up with HPO and rinse with water. this process was used on both tools and larger containers.

Nile, love your videos. I used to study citric acid crystals. It appears to me that you actually grew a batch of citric acid monohydrate crystals. The hexagonal plate you saw in crystal 5 is indicative of anhydrous citric acid, as these crystals form hexagonal plates. Crystal 3 to me just appeared to be a twinned citric acid monohydrate crystal. Citric acid monohydrate crystals can actually grow fairly large when they are pure and left to sit if you were looking for something to do with them. I used to get them larger than a cm in diameter in a day or two. If you keep the crystals out for a day or two in a higher temperature environment, you would probably be able to see the crystals dehydrate and turn amorphous. Keep up the videos!

great video, and I use citric acid instead of lemon and salt especially if I dont have lemon. It is also sold in the some stores located with the spices.

In biochemistry, process of adding ions, such as Na+, to neutralize the charges that makes the molecule hydrophilic so that it precipitates is call Salting Out. This method is very useful to isolate a proteine.

It can be used as a soldering flux when mixed with water. I have to try that, though. I've made a couple of fluxes, one liquid and one paste, with rosin. However, I'm planning to give citric acid a try, as it is inexpensive and easy to obtain.

Sounds like a grip problem to me. Is your dad regularly grumpy, distracted, unable to sleep? Maybe your mom's 'old fashioned' game is poor, buy her a shake weight, your newly happy, focussed, and well rested dad will thank you and your mom will get a higher yield from her lemons.

Very nice video. Following you for the new and improved way for several Kitchen chemistries as well. Just one suggestion. For theoretical calculations and purity purposes, you could use the titration method on Citrus juice and pure crystals. The titration is not very difficult and if you need, I can help you with the same.

In the UK, Citric acid is used in bathroom sprays such as limescale removers for shower stalls. Even though it is around Ph 2-3, it will happily dissolve calcium/magnesium carbonate.

Citric acid is used big time in pharmaceuticals and supplements. Often as a acid base salt to bind some actives.

@cmatrix4761 4 года назад

Citric acid, as I recall, is very good at absorbing ammonia; so I sometimes use it as a filter when I have ammonia vapors. It doesn't absorb all the ammonia vents, but it reduces them, making reactions safer to perform.
