[0031] Working principle:

[0032] First, the staff pours calcium carbonate into the interior of the mixing tank 20 and mixes it with purified water. The driving source 21 drives the stirring frame 22 to stir the slurry material. During the stirring process, the scraper 23 on the outside scrapes the slurry material attached to the outside of the mixing tank 20.

The handle 14 drives the valve 19 to rotate, and the slurry material is discharged from the circular hole of the valve 19 and enters the interior of the reactor 1. Then, the food-grade citric acid product is dissolved with purified water to obtain a food-grade citric acid product solution. The slurry-mixed calcium carbonate is continuously added to the food-grade citric acid product solution for processing. The heating wire 11 is turned on and the motor 7 is started.

The separated mother liquor can be returned to the process of generating calcium hydrogen citrate for recycling. The calcium citrate solid is obtained inside the filter 10, and the separated calcium citrate is dried and heated. The dried calcium citrate is mechanically crushed and then packaged to obtain amorphous ultrafine calcium citrate. When the processing is completed, the reactor 1 is rinsed, and the water flows to the water collection pipe 18. A three-way valve is added to the outside of the water collection pipe 18 and the liquid storage tank 17, which can be opened and closed according to actual conditions. After the solution flows to the liquid storage tank 17, it flows to the inside of the reactor 1 through the infusion pipe 16, which is convenient for subsequent use.
