Ethylenediamine Tetra Acetic Acid Production Cost Reports

Ethylenediamine Tetra Acetic Acid production cost report provides a comprehensive analysis and know-how for setting up an Ethylenediamine Tetra Acetic Acid production plant. The study covers all the requisite aspects that one needs to know for the production of Ethylenediamine Tetra Acetic Acid. This includes manufacturing processes, raw material requirements, utility requirements, infrastructure requirements, machinery and technology requirements, manpower requirements, packaging requirements, transportation requirements, etc.

Ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) is a complex, colorless compound with a composition of ten carbon, sixteen hydrogen, two nitrogen, and eight oxygen atoms. It forms a crystalline solid with a molecular weight of 292.24 g/mol. EDTA is slightly soluble in water and more soluble in alkali hydroxide solutions but is insoluble in most common solvents. The colorless crystals of EDTA melt at 237°C.

EDTA is a stable chemical compound that primarily reacts with strong oxidizing agents. However, it is less stable than its salts and tends to undergo carboxylation when heated to around 150 °C. Upon heating, EDTA decomposes, releasing toxic nitrogen oxide fumes. It can be neutralized with alkali metal hydroxides, forming a range of water-soluble salts containing one to four alkali metal cations. EDTA is combustible and has diverse applications in chemical and pharmaceutical industries.

Renowned as a chelating agent, EDTA is used in the treatment of lead poisoning and other heavy metal toxicities, including nickel, selenium, mercury, arsenic, zinc, tin, thallium, cobalt, manganese, and aluminum. In the medical and pharmaceutical sectors, it is employed to remove the toxicity of chemicals such as digoxin, a heart rhythm medication. In dentistry, EDTA is used for smear layer removal from root canal walls. Additionally, it is involved in the chemical synthesis of various EDTA salts that have broad commercial applications.
