Granular Effervescent Salts
Two general processes are given for preparing effervescent salts, the one to be used being determined by the quantity of material taken. The products, however, from both processes should be identical. The citric acid  should be uneffloresced crystals, powdered immediately before using; the other  ingredients should be dried at a temperature not exceeding 50° C. The  granulation is performed in an oven or on a water bath. The dry granular powder  is passed through a No.1 tinned-iron sieve, and immediately transferred to dry  bottles of containers, and hermetically sealed.
