EDTA

Ethylenediaminetetracetic acid (EDTA) is widely used as a decontaminating agent in nuclear industry. The presence of complexant interferes in treatment of radioactive effluent. It is therefore essential to degrade EDTA prior to chemical treatment for effective management of radioactive waste. Photoc

Conventional precipitation methods of industrial sewage and wastewater purification are not very effective and are insufficient in many cases. This implies the necessity of searching new, effective methods exploiting cheap, accessible and ecologically safe ion exchangers and sorbents. The paper pres

Synthetic chelating agents are used to increase the phytoextraction of metals from contaminated soils, however the increased bioavailability of the metals may increases the potential risk of groundwater contamination. In this study, 4 mmol EDTA kg–1 was applied using four application methods to a Cd

The influence of process conditions such as feed rate, calcium/carbonate ratio, pH, complexing agents [ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), citrate (CIT)] and their concentration on the average particle size and shape of precipitated calcium carbonate was studied. The precipitation was performed
