I have reduced lemon-juice to syrup, but you'll have a hard time removing sucrose. If you make the solution more concentrated the pH will rise.
You could Google for this, as it's all I would do from this point.
Or you could go to a home-brew shop / section and buy citric acid.

Depends what you want the citric acid for - IF NOT for consumption it is sold in most supermarkets as kettle descaler.

Citric acid is much easier to purchase, either from candy making (bulk stuffs stores) stores than it is to procure from lemons - if that is your intended end result.
