A process for treating a liquid comprising subjecting a liquid containing, in solution, citric acid as well as a less desirable component having a similar molecular weight to citric acid, to nanofiltration in a filtration step. From the filtration step, a permeate in which the ratio of the concentration of the citric acid to that of the less desirable component is greater than the ratio of the concentration of the citric acid to that of the less desirable component in the solution, is obtained. |
