Potassium citrate (C6H5K3O7) is a white, crystalline solid used in various industrial, medical, and food applications. It is commonly used as a buffering agent, pH adjuster, and preservative in food and beverages. In medicine, potassium citrate is used to treat kidney stones and urinary tract infections by alkalinizing the urine. It is also employed in laboratory research and chemical synthesis. Proper handling requires the use of protective equipment such as gloves and goggles to avoid skin and eye irritation. Storage should be in a cool, dry place, away from incompatible substances like strong acids. Disposal must follow local regulations to prevent environmental contamination. Potassium citrate is valued for its versatility and effectiveness in providing essential buffering and alkalinizing properties in various applications.
