Trisodium citrate dihydrate is obtained by neutralizing citric acid with sodium hydroxide or sodium hydrogencarbonate. The sodium hydrogencarbonate was dissolved in water under stirring, and citric acid was added thereto, and the temperature was further raised to 85 to 90 ° C to adjust the pH to 6.8. Add decolorization with activated carbon and filter while hot. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure, and crystals were precipitated after cooling. Filtration, washing and drying gave Trisodium citrate dihydrate.
