Descripción

General description

Citric acid is a weak organic acid that is commonly used for pH adjustment, as a chelating agent, as a buffering agent, derivatization and as starting material for the synthesis of citrate esters and other compounds.

Application

Citric acid has been used to prepare:

• Phosphate citrate buffer for use in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
• Citrate-stabilized ceria aqueous sol, which was employed in the synthesis of cerium oxide nanoparticles.
• Citric acid-Na₂HPO₄-buffered stock solution for use in the determination of fecal urease activity.
• Anticoagulant citrate dextrose solution A (ACD-A), which is employed during the isolation of blood-derived endothelial progenitor cells.

Citric acid has also been used:

• In a novel process which allows controlling of the particle size during the synthesis of palladium cuboctahedrons.
• To prepare citric acid-derived carbon nanodots (CNDs) by bottom-up carbonization method.
• As a bi-component chelating agent for the synthesis of Li4Ti₅O₁₂ (lithium titanate oxide) by a novel sol–gel method.
