Chelating Agents
Chelating agents are chemicals that are used to bind and
remove metal ions in various industries such as pharmaceuticals
and food processing. Chelating agents are chemical compounds
that form stable complexes (chelates) with metal ions by
donating electron pairs to the metal ions, thereby preventing
them from reacting with other substances or forming insoluble
precipitates.
APPLICATION & USAGE
- Agriculture: Metal chelate compounds are used as fertilizer components to deliver micronutrients.
- Dental: Chelating ligands with calcium are used in dentin adhesives.
- Pharmaceuticals: Chelating agents play a role in pharmaceutical applications.
- Catalysis: They are used in catalytic processes.
- Oil production: Chelating agents are relevant in the oil industry.
- Geology: They have applications in geology.
- Used in various industrial processes, such as metal cleaning, water treatment, pulp and paper manufacturing, food and beverage processing, and pharmaceutical formulations, to control metal ions and prevent undesirable reactions or precipitation.
- Chelating agents are used in various applications including pharmaceuticals, food processing, and as a metal chelator in chemical processing.
