Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) is a versatile organic chemical compound with applications across a wide range of industrial sectors. It is widely used as an ingredient in the production of soaps, detergents, and several cleaning products to enhance its cleaning effectiveness. It is also used as a stabilizer in certain medicinal formulations to enhance its stability and solubility. It also finds its application as a medicine used in the removal of lead and calcium from the body. It is also used in the process of water purification by facilitating the removal of heavy metals and contaminants from the water. It is often used as an ingredient in various cosmetic formulations to stabilize them and prevent them from metal ion degradation. It also finds its application as a preservative in various food items to maintain its flavor and quality by preventing oxidative degradation.

The primary factor that drives the market for Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) is its demand as a key ingredient in the production of cleaning products. Its utilization as an ingredient in the manufacturing of detergents and soaps largely promotes its demand in the household cleaning and industrial cleaning industries. Its application as a stabilizer in the production of various cosmetic products to enhance their appearance and texture further enhances its demand in the cosmetics industry. Its involvement as a chelating agent in the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries to contribute to the chelation therapy for heavy metal poisoning also boosts its market growth. Its usage as a preservative in the food industry to extend the shelf life of various products also fuels its market expansion.

Compliance with environmental and health regulations related to its applications in food and cosmetics due to concerns about its persistence and biodegradability significantly impacts industrial Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) procurement. Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) is synthesized from ethylenediamine, formaldehyde, and sodium cyanide. Thus, fluctuations in the price and availability of these raw materials directly affect the production costs and procurement strategies for EDTA. Fluctuations in demand from downstream industries, including pharmaceuticals, water treatment, and cosmetics, further impact the pricing and procurement processes of EDTA.

Raw Material for Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) Production

According to the Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) manufacturing plant project report, the major raw materials for Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) production include Ethylenediamine-Formaldehyde-Sodium Cyanide-Sulfuric Acid.

Manufacturing Process of Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA)

The extensive Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) production cost report consists of the following industrial manufacturing process:

• Production from Ethylenediamine: This method of production involves the synthesis of Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) through the process of cyanomethylation of ethylenediamine. The synthesis begins with the chemical reaction of ethylenediamine with formaldehyde and sodium cyanide to form sodium salt of EDTA. Further, the obtained sodium salt of EDTA is reacted with hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid, which results in the production of Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) as the final product.

Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) is a weak acid that contains an amino carboxylic group. It appears as a white crystalline powder or colorless crystals. The molecular formula of the compound is C10H16N2O8, and its molecular weight is 292.24 g/mol. It has a density of approximately 0.860 g/cm³ at 20°C, and it decomposes above 240°C. EDTA is slightly soluble in cold water (about 160 parts per 100 mL). It is also soluble in sodium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, and ammonia solutions but insoluble in ethanol and most organic solvents. It is an odorless compound, and its dissociation depends on the pH of the solution. As a hexadentate ligand, EDTA coordinates with metal ions at six sites (two nitrogen and four oxygen atoms) to form stable complexes with various metals such as calcium, magnesium, iron, and lead. It is generally stable under normal conditions and decomposes when heated above its melting point.
