EDTA Manufacturer and Supplier - Chemtex Speciality Limited

 What is EDTA?

EDTA or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid is a weak acid used as a chelating agent. Ethylenediamine tetra acetic acid (EDTA) contains an amino carboxylic group with the formula C10H16N2O8. The chelating agent EDTA is a compound of massive use worldwide with household and industrial applications, being one of the anthropogenic compounds with the ability to sequester various polyvalent cations, used to minimize metal contaminants and facilitate enzymatic reactions that could be inhibited by heavy metal traces.  EDTA is the most widely used chelating agent for the removal of toxic heavy metal ions in wastewater treatment.

How does EDTA Work?

EDTA is prepared from the compound Ethylenediamine and Monochloroacetic acid. EDTA grabs metallic cations such as lead or calcium from the process and forms a stable compound that is then excreted from the system. If the bond is weak, other chemicals can break this bond to form their own compounds. EDTA is the most widely used chelating agent for the removal of toxic heavy metal ions in wastewater treatment. EDTA can react with metallic cations, creating a stable rigid compound that can be easily excreted from the application system. The ability to form strong covalent bonds with metallic ions allows inorganic contaminants to react with these ions, forming their own compounds.



What is ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid used for?

Wastewater treatment: EDTA is the most widely used chelating agent for the removal of removing toxic heavy metal ions in wastewater treatment.

Textile industry: Prevents metal ion impurities from modifying the colours of dyed products.

Pulp & paper industry: It inhibits the ability of metal ions, especially Manganese from catalysing the disproportionation of hydrogen peroxide in chlorine-free bleaching.

Laundry: Reduces water hardness by dissolving scales of Ca2+, Mg2+, and cations, which are then less likely to interfere with soaps and detergents

‘Scrubbing’: Removes hydrogen sulphide from gas streams. This conversion is achieved by oxidizing the hydrogen sulphide to elemental sulphur, which is non-volatile.

Laboratory: Widely used for scavenging metal ions.

Cosmetics: Used in shampoos, cleaners, and other personal care products as a sequestering agent

Leading EDTA Manufacturers in India

Chemtex Speciality Limited is a pioneering speciality chemical manufacturer, The best EDTA manufacturers in India, We Tetrasodium EDTA (4Na), Disodium EDTA (2Na), EDTA Trisodium (3Na) and Pure Acid form.

Disodium EDTA (2Na) – Disodium salt of EDTA is used as sequestering / chelating agent, that helps in cleaning and descaling from metal surfaces. Also, it finds extensive usage in the removal of iron oxide/hydroxide and calcium carbonate, other organic substances and microbial slimes.

Trisodium EDTA (3Na) – It is used as a disinfectant, colour retention agent, anticoagulant for blood collection, preservative, antioxidant, a chelating agent in personal care products and flavouring agent for foods. It is used to minimize metal ion contaminants and to facilitate enzymatic reactions that could be inhibited by heavy metal traces.

Tetrasodium EDTA (4Na) – Tetrasodium EDTA is also used as a chelating agent, with the ability to sequester various polyvalent cations, that bind calcium, magnesium and other metal ions, minimizing metal ion contamination and facilitate enzymatic reactions that could be inhibited by heavy metal traces. EDTA Tetrasodium Salt also works as a slime dispersant and is even effective in reducing scale deposits and water hardness.

Acid Coil Cleaner leaves the aluminum surface clean and shining bright

Improper refrigerant levels, dirty coils, and worn out compressors or condensers can result in inefficient performance of air conditioning system. An inefficient system tends to force the compressor to work harder than is required decreasing its life span and thereby leading to higher energy bills. The primary energy required in operating an air conditioning system comes from the compression of refrigerant. The hotter the compressor receives the processed refrigerant, the more energy is necessary to force it through the condenser. The refrigerant needs to become cold enough to absorb more heat from the process, therefore an external chiller such as an open evaporative condenser or air blast unit is required. It is crucial for effective air-conditioning operation that the condenser is able to easily reject heat through the cooling airflow and the heat exchanger coils. Energy consumption builds up as the refrigerant vapor pressure increases, where the refrigerant is not sufficien...

Excellent Efficiency Flocculation with Polyelectrolyte

Polyelectrolytes are regarded as polymer chains with an electrolyte group on every repeat unit. When dissolved in a polar solvent, these polymers are charged due to dissociation of small counter ions that leave behind a charged macro ion. Polyelectrolytes include biologically important molecules such as polypeptides and DNA. These are referred to as polymers that are generally used for water purification. These are highly noted for their beneficiary nature of handling problems of slow settling of flocs in water at low temperature, treating soft colored water where they increase toughness of the flocs and enhance its settlement ability. Polyelectrolytes are formulated in a way so as to be used as coagulants and flocculants as well as a sludge dewatering agent in the waste water treatment plants. P olyelectrolyte , thereby, plays an indispensable part in the sludge conditioner formulation. Generally flocculation occurs owing to charges present on the particles. Generally, Pol...
