Description
A heterocyclic ring compound that can attract and hold a metal ion. Chelating agents are used to remove traces a metals in solutions, such as Zinc, Iron, Copper, Manganese, and Cobalt. They are added to detergents to minimize and precipitation or discoloration caused by unwanted metal ions. Chelating agents are also used in water softeners. Examples of chelating agents are ammonium citrate, Benzotriazole (BTA), ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), calcium phytate, nitrilotriacetic acid, n-hydroxyethylethylenediaminetriacetic acid (HEDTA), hemoglobin, deferoxamine type B, Chlorophyll, as well as several simple organic acids like Oxalic acid, Malic acid. Rubeanic acid and Citric acid.
Synonyms and Related Terms
