Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid EDTA

EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, [60-00-4]) chelates any trace metals that would otherwise decompose the hydrogen peroxide [7722-84-1]. The amine is preheated to 55—65°C and the hydrogen peroxide is added over one hour with agitation the temperature is maintained between 60 —70°C. The reaction is exothermic and cooling must be appHed to maintain the temperature below 70°C. After all the peroxide has been added, the temperature of the reaction mixture is raised to 75°C and held there from three to four hours until the unreacted amine is less than 2.0%. The solution is cooled and the unreacted hydrogen peroxide can be destroyed by addition of a stoichiometric amount of sodium bisulfite. This may not be desirable if a low colored product is desired, ia which case residual amounts of hydrogen peroxide enhance long-term color stabiUty.

Another attempted synthesis of Tc(III)-EDTA and Tc(III)-HEDTA complexes (EDTA ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid HEDTA A -(2-hydroxy-methyl)ethylenediamine-N,AT, iV -triacetic acid) was carried out using [Tc(tu)6]3+ as the starting complex [40]. Technetium-EDTA complexes have been synthesized by the direct reduction of pertechnetate with a suitable reduc-tant in the presence of excess EDTA [41-43]. On addition of EDTA to the Tc(tu) + solution, the intensity of the absorption spectrum decreased with time and the solution color changed from reddish orange to light brown. An electrophoretic analysis for the Tc(III)-EDTA complex showed that more than 70%... 

Synergy between primary and secondary anti-oxidants occurs and often a mixture is employed. Also included are metal complexing agents, e.g., EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid), citric acid, the purpose of which is to deactivate extraneous metal ions that catalyse polymer oxidation. 

The sodium and calcium salts of EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, Fig. 9.3.1.) are common sequestrants in food products. A three-dimensional representation of EDTA is shown in color Fig. 9.3.2. The EDTA ion is an especially effective sequestrant, forming up to six coordinate covalent bonds with a metal ion. These bonds are so named because a lone pair of electrons on a single atom serves as the source of the shared electrons in the bond between the metal ion and EDTA. The two nitrogen atoms in the amino groups and the oxygen...

As heavy metals were known to influence the degradation pathway, experiments were carried ont to determine if excess levels of metals could be the root cause of the degradation. EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) is a known metal chelator and is often used in ampoule formulations. The addition of EDTA to samples of ampoule solutions prepared in the lab was shown to halt the degradation (Table 2).
