 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.

Hybrid Organic Acid Technology (HOAT) Coolant

Optimal use of machines is directly proportional to its engine performance. What an engine does is it converts the supplied energy into its mechanical form, driving the machine to work. Engines require one-third of total heat that is generated during conversion and the rest of the heat is needed to be evacuated from the combustion chamber which would otherwise lead to engine failure. Earlier, water was preferred as an ideal coolant for quite a period of time but the problem started to arise when the temperature would become extremely high or low, to be precise temperature more than 100 ° C and below 0°C. To get rid of this problem, coolants were formulated. Coolants are categorized chemicals that increases the boiling point of the fluid and decreases the freezing point of the fluid to make it suitable for use in extreme heat and freezing conditions. Coolants are a proportionate mixture of antifreeze and solvent, mainly glycol and water. Ideally utilized as a preventive in...

How RO Antiscalant works?

  Reverse Osmosis technology provides an efficient and reliable method for purifying water for various purposes). It can remove impurities such as salts, minerals, and other contaminants as well as microbial contaminants from the Membrane. Water molecules pass through RO membranes despite dissolved solids and other contaminants being rejected by the membrane. RO membranes are basically thin, dense, and semi-permeable membranes. However, the major significant challenge in Reverse Osmosis System is Scaling. Why does it happen? The formation of scales on the RO (Reverse Osmosis) membrane is primarily caused by the presence of certain dissolved minerals and salts in feed water. Scale refers to the accumulation of mineral deposits, such as calcium carbonate, calcium sulphate, and silica which can severely impact the efficiency and the lifespan of the RO membrane. RO Membrane scaling may lead to cause ·          Excessive Energy Consumption...

Hydrogel Agriculture

For any developing nation, Agriculture has a major stand in its economy. It manages the food security for the ever increasing population and provides a source of hand to mouth for a number of people based in rural areas. Irrigation practices has changed over the years with change in farming technologies, selected outputs and input materials depending upon soil conditions and climate but still there are places which follow age old conventional style of farming which not only reduces the effective use of water but also limits the available resources. Today’s farming style has changed from what can be grown to what is economical to grow. Catastrophes like water scarcity, soil infertility, irregular rainfall opens the gate to drought, monetary loss, price inflation, lesser production and farmer misery. These problems have been rising up recently in huge numbers and we don’t have a concrete solution as of now. What we have are technologies by which their adversity can be some...
