A well descripted presentation on the topic of a chemical compound EDTA (Ethylenediaminetetraacetate) along with the applications in Textile and Non Textile Sector.
Bahauddin Zakariya University College of Textile Engineering.
The document discusses primary and secondary standards used in volumetric analysis. It defines primary standards as highly pure, stable chemicals that can be weighed easily and used directly for standardization. Secondary standards have lower purity and stability than primary standards but can be used indirectly after standardization against a primary standard. Common primary standards mentioned include potassium hydrogen phthalate and anhydrous sodium carbonate. Secondary standards discussed include sodium hydroxide solutions, which are standardized against primary acids due to their hygroscopic nature. The key requirements for a chemical to be used as a primary standard are that it is pure, stable, non-hygroscopic, and has a high molecular weight.
Complexometric titration involves the titration of a metal ion with EDTA (ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid) where a colored complex is formed at the endpoint. There are several types of complexometric titrations including direct titration where the metal ion is directly titrated with EDTA, back titration where excess EDTA is added and then titrated with another metal ion, and replacement titration where the metal ion displaces another metal ion from an EDTA complex which is then titrated. Complexometric titrations can be used to determine mixtures of metal ions and are useful because EDTA forms very stable complexes with most metal ions.

EDTA Titration
Volumetric analysis involves determining the concentration of a substance by measuring the volume occupied. It is commonly used to determine the unknown concentration of a known reactant through a titration process, where one solution of known concentration and volume is used to react with another substance of unknown concentration until the reaction is complete. The volume of the known solution used is then used to calculate the concentration of the unknown substance. Accuracy in volumetric analysis relies on the use of standardized solutions of primary standards with known concentrations.

This document describes procedures for estimating the purity of magnesium sulfate and calcium gluconate. It first details the preparation of a 0.05 M disodium edetate solution and its standardization. For magnesium sulfate estimation, 0.3 g of the compound is dissolved and titrated against the disodium edetate solution. The volume used is used to calculate purity percentage. For calcium gluconate estimation, an accurately measured volume equivalent to 0.5 g of the compound is titrated against disodium edetate after the addition of magnesium sulfate and ammonia solutions. The volume used is then used to calculate the amount of calcium gluconate present.
Gravimetric analysis is a quantitative analytical technique used to determine the purity of a sample by measuring its mass. It involves selectively converting the analyte into an insoluble precipitate, filtering to separate the precipitate, drying, igniting, and weighing the precipitate. Key steps include precipitation, digestion or ripening to form larger crystals, filtration, washing to remove impurities, drying and igniting the precipitate, and final weighing and calculations. Accuracy depends on quantitative precipitation and removal of impurities through careful control of parameters like pH, temperature, supersaturation levels, and multiple washings.
This document discusses primary and secondary standards used in pharmaceutical analysis. Primary standards are highly pure substances (99.95-100.05%) that are stable over temperature and used to standardize volumetric reagents. They must be easy to obtain and purify, soluble, and react stoichiometrically. Examples include potassium hydrogen phthalate and sodium carbonate. Secondary standards are solutions of known concentration determined by titrating against a primary standard. They have less purity and stability than primary standards and are used when primary standards are not practical, such as sodium hydroxide and potassium permanganate.

Polarographic technique is applied for the qualitative or quantitative analysis of electroreducible or oxidisable elements or groups.
It is an electromechanical technique of analyzing solutions that measures the current flowing between two electrodes in the solution as well as the gradually increasing applied voltage to determine respectively the concentration of a solute and its nature.
The principle in polarography is that a gradually increasing negative potential (voltage) is applied between a polarisable and non-polarisable electrode and the corresponding current is recorded.
Polarisable electrode: Dropping Mercury electrode
Non-polarisable electrode: Saturated Calomel electrode
From the current-voltage curve (Sigmoid shape), qualitative and quantitative analysis can be performed. This technique is called as polarography, the instrument used is called as polarograph and the current-voltage curve recorded is called as polarogram

This document discusses precipitation titration methods. It describes Mohr's method, Volhard's method and Fajan's method. Mohr's method uses potassium chromate as an indicator. Volhard's method indirectly titrates excess silver ions with thiocyanate using ferric ammonium sulfate as an indicator. Fajan's method uses adsorption indicators like fluorescein that change color upon adsorption to the precipitate formed at the endpoint. Key factors that influence precipitation titrations like solubility products, common ion effect and temperature are also discussed.
This document discusses analytical chemistry techniques for precipitation titrations, specifically the determination of chloride ions. It describes two methods - Mohr's method and Volhard's method. Mohr's method titrates a chloride solution against silver nitrate using potassium chromate as an indicator. When all chloride ions are removed, the solution color changes from yellow to reddish brown. Volhard's method also uses silver nitrate but titrates any excess silver ions with ammonium thiocyanate, forming a reddish brown precipitate. The document provides step-by-step procedures for both methods to calculate the concentration of chloride ions in a water sample.
This document discusses non-aqueous titrations, including the types of solvents used, endpoint detection methods, and applications.

Common indicators and titrants used include crystal violet, perchloric acid, and sodium acetate. The document provides examples of using non-aqueous titrations to assay substances like sodium acetate and norfloxacin tablets that are insoluble or reactive in water.
This document discusses the theory of acid-base indicators and their use in titrations. It explains that indicators change color within a certain pH range, with examples like methyl orange changing from pink to yellow between pH 3.2-4.5. Two theories are presented for how indicators work: Ostwald's theory, where color change is due to ionization, and the quinonoid theory, where indicators exist in different tautomeric forms with different colors. Phenolphthalein is used to illustrate Ostwald's theory, changing from colorless to pink as it ionizes more in alkaline conditions. Methyl orange is a weak base that changes from yellow to red depending on whether its ionized or unionized form

Applications of chelating agents include use in agriculture to provide micronutrients to plants, industrial uses like catalysis and metal extraction, and medical uses such as chelation therapy to remove heavy metals from the body. However, chelating agents can also have drawbacks like redistributing toxic metals or losing essential metals.
The document discusses the use of chelating agents in knit dyeing with reactive dyes. It examines dyeing cotton knits with three reactive dyes under different conditions: without a chelating agent, with the chelating agent Liang-710 at 0.3 g/l, and with Liang-710 at 0.6 g/l. Results showed dye fixation was highest with 0.3 g/l Liang-710 and decreased at higher concentrations and without the agent. Colorfastness also varied with chelating agent dosage. The influence of Liang-710 on dyeing was assessed by comparing knit samples dyed under the different conditions.
EDTA is a commonly used chelating agent in dentistry. It forms calcium chelates with calcium ions in dentin, making the dentin more friable and easier to instrument. EDTA's mode of action involves inhibiting bacterial growth by chelating with metallic ions needed for microbial growth. It has the functions of lubrication, emulsification, holding debris in suspension, and removing the smear layer. EDTA helps in enlarging narrow canals, making instrumentation easier and reducing debridement time.
This document discusses the use of chelating agents such as EDTA in root canal treatment. It provides background on how EDTA was introduced in the 1950s to aid in preparing narrow and calcified root canals. EDTA is thought to chemically soften and demineralize root canal dentin by binding to calcium ions. The document describes the history and formulations of various EDTA-based irrigants and pastes used in root canal treatment. It also discusses the mechanism of dentin demineralization by chelating agents and factors that influence the depth and extent of demineralization.
Chelating agents are drugs that form complexes with heavy metals to facilitate their removal from the body. They work by binding metals like lead, arsenic, and mercury to create non-toxic, water-soluble complexes that can be excreted in urine. Common chelating agents include dimercaprol, dimercaptosuccinic acid, dimercaptopropane sulfonic acid, disodium edetate, penicillamine, and desferrioxamine. Each agent has affinity for specific metals and is used to treat poisoning from those metals. The ideal chelating agent rapidly forms complexes that are non-toxic and easily excreted to safely eliminate metals from the body.
The word “cosmetics” comes from the Greek word kosmetikos meaning “skilled in adornment/decoration”. The way people wear makeup and the reasons why they wear it have changed dramatically over time and through different cultures.
EDTA is a commonly used chelating agent in endodontic treatment that was introduced in dentistry by Nygaard- Ostby. It is available as a liquid or paste with concentrations between 15-17%. EDTA inhibits bacterial growth and destroys bacteria by chelating with metallic ions needed for their growth. It also forms calcium chelates with dentin calcium ions, making dentin more manipulable. The recommended exposure time to remove the smear layer is 1-5 minutes, with 1 minute of a 10ml EDTA solution found to be adequate. While it has dentin dissolving and canal enlarging properties, EDTA has disadvantages like self-limiting action and potential for irreversible decalc
This document discusses acids and bases. It defines strong and weak acids, and lists common strong acids like hydrochloric acid.

The use of Nauplii and metanauplii artemia in aquaculture (brine shrimp).pptxMAGOTI ERNEST
Although Artemia has been known to man for centuries, its use as a food for the culture of larval organisms apparently began only in the 1930s, when several investigators found that it made an excellent food for newly hatched fish larvae (Litvinenko et al., 2023). As aquaculture developed in the 1960s and ‘70s, the use of Artemia also became more widespread, due both to its convenience and to its nutritional value for larval organisms (Arenas-Pardo et al., 2024). The fact that Artemia dormant cysts can be stored for long periods in cans, and then used as an off-the-shelf food requiring only 24 h of incubation makes them the most convenient, least labor-intensive, live food available for aquaculture (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021). The nutritional value of Artemia, especially for marine organisms, is not constant, but varies both geographically and temporally. During the last decade, however, both the causes of Artemia nutritional variability and methods to improve poorquality Artemia have been identified (Loufi et al., 2024).
Brine shrimp (Artemia spp.) are used in marine aquaculture worldwide. Annually, more than 2,000 metric tons of dry cysts are used for cultivation of fish, crustacean, and shellfish larva. Brine shrimp are important to aquaculture because newly hatched brine shrimp nauplii (larvae) provide a food source for many fish fry (Mozanzadeh et al., 2021). Culture and harvesting of brine shrimp eggs represents another aspect of the aquaculture industry. Nauplii and metanauplii of Artemia, commonly known as brine shrimp, play a crucial role in aquaculture due to their nutritional value and suitability as live feed for many aquatic species, particularly in larval stages (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021).
The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defectsSérgio Sacani
Assuming spherical symmetry and weak field, it is shown that if one solves the Poisson equation or the Einstein field
equations sourced by a topological defect, i.e. a singularity of a very specific form, the result is a localized gravitational
field capable of driving flat rotation (i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii) of test masses on a thin
spherical shell without any underlying mass. Moreover, a large-scale structure which exploits this solution by assembling
concentrically a number of such topological defects can establish a flat stellar or galactic rotation curve, and can also deflect
light in the same manner as an equipotential (isothermal) sphere. Thus, the need for dark matter or modified gravity theory is
mitigated, at least in part.

ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptxPRIYANKA PATEL
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.

Nucleophilic Addition of carbonyl compounds.pptxSSR02
Nucleophilic addition is the most important reaction of carbonyls. Not just aldehydes and ketones, but also carboxylic acid derivatives in general.
Carbonyls undergo addition reactions with a large range of nucleophiles.
Comparing the relative basicity of the nucleophile and the product is extremely helpful in determining how reversible the addition reaction is. Reactions with Grignards and hydrides are irreversible. Reactions with weak bases like halides and carboxylates generally don’t happen.
Electronic effects (inductive effects, electron donation) have a large impact on reactivity.
Large groups adjacent to the carbonyl will slow the rate of reaction.
Neutral nucleophiles can also add to carbonyls, although their additions are generally slower and more reversible. Acid catalysis is sometimes employed to increase the rate of addition.
The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically youngSérgio Sacani
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.
EWOCS-I: The catalog of X-ray sources in Westerlund 1 from the Extended Weste...Sérgio Sacani
Context. With a mass exceeding several 104 M⊙ and a rich and dense population of massive stars, supermassive young star clusters
represent the most massive star-forming environment that is dominated by the feedback from massive stars and gravitational interactions
among stars.
Aims. In this paper we present the Extended Westerlund 1 and 2 Open Clusters Survey (EWOCS) project, which aims to investigate
the influence of the starburst environment on the formation of stars and planets, and on the evolution of both low and high mass stars.
The primary targets of this project are Westerlund 1 and 2, the closest supermassive star clusters to the Sun.
Methods. The project is based primarily on recent observations conducted with the Chandra and JWST observatories. Specifically,
the Chandra survey of Westerlund 1 consists of 36 new ACIS-I observations, nearly co-pointed, for a total exposure time of 1 Msec.
Additionally, we included 8 archival Chandra/ACIS-S observations. This paper presents the resulting catalog of X-ray sources within
and around Westerlund 1. Sources were detected by combining various existing methods, and photon extraction and source validation
were carried out using the ACIS-Extract software.
Results. The EWOCS X-ray catalog comprises 5963 validated sources out of the 9420 initially provided to ACIS-Extract, reaching a
photon flux threshold of approximately 2 × 10−8 photons cm−2
s
−1
. The X-ray sources exhibit a highly concentrated spatial distribution,
with 1075 sources located within the central 1 arcmin. We have successfully detected X-ray emissions from 126 out of the 166 known
massive stars of the cluster, and we have collected over 71 000 photons from the magnetar CXO J164710.20-455217.

10. Applications in Non-Textile
Following are the applications in non-
textile :
• In Cosmetics , Personal Care and
Skin Care
• In Food and Beverages
• In Cleansing Agents
• In Photochemicals
• In Pulp and Paper
• Metal Plating
• Water Treatment
• Fuel Gas Cleaning
• Oil Production
• Polymer and Rubber Production
• Industry Detergents
• Medical Applications
11. In Cosmetics ,
Personal Care and
Skin Care
• In cosmetics , personal care and skin care
products , EDTA is a primary chelating agent
(binds free metal ions) , preservative , stabilizer
,and purifying agent that keeps formulas free of
metallic ions and residue found in tap water .
• It helps to reduce the hardness (mineral content)
in tap water so that other active ingredients in a
formula , such as shampoo or bath gel can work
more effectively .
• EDTA also helps the topical penetration of active
ingredients in skin care to increase serum levels
of beneficial chemicals.
12. In Food and and
Beverages
• EDTA is commonly used in food and
beverages as a preservative , stabilizer
and protects food products from
discoloration and oxidation.
• Be aware that EDTA reacts negatively
with Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and
Sodium bicarbonate in Sodas and soft
drinks , with higher propensity to form
benzene , a carcinogen.
• Do not drink soft drinks that contain
EDTA.
13. In Cleansing Agents
• In Laundry products and cleansing
agents ,EDTA softens hard water and
improves the bleaching and cleansing
performance of non-chlorine
cleansers.
In Photochemicals
• In the Photoindustry Fe(III)NH4EDTA
is mainly applied in the bleachfix
process which is a combination of
bleaching (oxidation of the metallic
silver) and fixing (removing of silver
ions by complexation).
14. Metal Plating
• EDTA is used for the production of
printed circuit boards. EDTA is
mainly used in electroless copper
platting. When copper is deposited on
the board by catalytic reduction of
complexed copper compounds.
Water Treatment
• EDTA is used to clean scale
deposits from internal boiler surfaces
and as additive to incoming boiler
feedwater to prevent the formation of
calcium and magnesium scales
15. Polymer and rubber production
• EDTA is used in the production of
Styrene Butadiene
Elastomers(SBR) which is mainly
manufactured my emulsion
polymerization.
• EDTA is a sequestering agent for
Fe(II)/Fe(III) ions in the initiator
system.
Oil production & fuel gas cleaning
• EDTA is used for well cleaning
processes at oil platforms . In the
cleaning process about 1 Tonne of
EDTA is used during 24-hour period.
• EDTA is an ingredient for fume
desulfuration at coal power plants
and waste incineration plants.
16. Paper and Pulp
• Bleaching agents are applied by paper
mills to remove remaining lignin from
the cellulose fibers and to improve the
brightness. If hydrogen peroxide is
used as bleaching agent, heavy metals
like manganese would decompose the
peroxide; therefore they have to be
chelated. EDTA is not fixed onto the
paper , therefore the total use amount is
emitted into the sewage.
Industrial detergents
• EDTA prevents the precipitation of
calcium, magnesium and heavy metals
which can cause sedimentation and
incrustation in containers, pipes,
nozzles and on planes to be cleaned.
• In alkaline degreasing fleets ,
phosphates are stabilized and the
flocculation of calcium soap is
prevented , furthermore the cleaning
effect is intensified and tarnishing of
metal surfaces is prevented.
17. Medical Applications
of EDTA
• EDTA is used to treat mercury and other heavy
metals poisoning by means of chelation therapy.
• Similarly it removes excess iron and calcium from
the body.
• In blood related medical applications , EDTA
optimizes repeated blood transfusions and is an
effective anti-coagulant, preventing blood samples
from solidifying and cell samples clumping. This is
important especially in clinical blood tests and cell
analysis.
• EDTA is also used as a preservative in eye drops, a
de-calcifying and anti-plaque agent in arteries.
18. Applications in Textile
• EDTA is used in textile finishing to support processes like cross linking of cellulose
molecules (to produce easy care fabrics) and oxidative bleaching and to prevent
catalytical damages of the fibre.
• The aminocarboxylic acid such as EDTA is very good in that they sequester most
metal ions and are very stable under alkaline solutions. They are the most used
types.
• EDTA can form a few different water soluble salts with calcium , potassium and
sodium , for example , calcium disodium , trisodium and tetrasodium.
• EDTA tetrasodium salt is used most widely in many textile industry as a powerful
chelating agent. Its 1% solution has a pH of 11.3 . It can chelate with many divalent
and trivalent metal ions to form water soluble metal complexes.
19. As a Sequestering Agent
• As a Sequestering agent , EDTA removes a metal ion from a solution system by
forming a complex ion that does not have the chemical reactions of the ion that is
removed.
• It is also used to eliminate water hardness and heavy metals , such as iron and
copper which can affect the scouring process.
• It bind polyvalent cations such as calcium and magnesium in water and in fibres .
Thus preventing the precipitation of soaps. If polyvalent ions are present , insoluble
soaps may form , settle on the fabric and produce resist spots .
• In these three stages it is mainly used as a sequestering agent :
a) Pretreatment
b) Bleaching
c) Dyeing
20. Continued..
• The most undesirable impurities in Fibers , common salt , Glauber salt , Caustic Soda
and Soda Ash are the di and tri valent cations , e.g., Ca++ , Mg++,Cu++ , Fe+++ etc.
These ions increase hardness of the process bath and generate iron oxides in the
bath. Calcium and Magnesium reacts with alkali and precipitates as a sticky
substance on the textile material , which creates patchy dyeing and discoloration
of the fibre . The ferric oxide with cellulose and creates small pinholes on the fibres
also damages the machinery by scale formation in the nozzle and base.
• To overcome these deleterious effects in the scouring and bleaching bath adequate
amount of sequestrant such as EDTA must be used . EDTA prevents di and tri valent
metal ions from interfering with the chemical processing of the textile material . It
prevents catalytic damage of cellulosic fibres in bleaching bath during hydrogen
peroxide bleaching.
• Sequestering agents are also known as Chelating agents . Chelating agents are
important in textile dyeing , water softening , enzyme deactivation and bacteriocides.
21. Advantages and Disadvantages of EDTA
• EDTA form very stable complexes with most metal ions . They reacts
stoichiometrically and can be used to quantitatively determine calcium and
magnesium by titration . They do not contribute to detergency nor do they exhibit a
threshold effect .
• Good sequestering agent for calcium and magnesium at alkaline pH but no
sequestering agent on Fe+++ at alkaline pH . Not stable with oxidizing agents. Low
solubility in acidic medium .
• Tetrasodium EDTA a biologically degradable alkaline organic salt , has been
proved as a substitute to inorganic electrolyte and alkali in batch process of dyeing
cotton fabric with reactive dyes .
• Very good color fastness to washing , rubbing and light are achieved by using
tetrasodium EDTA .
• It also increases mechanical properties of the cotton fabric dyed with reactive dyes
using this salt such as Elongation % , Time to break and Tenacity etc.
22. EDTA Danger
• There is no drastic danger related to the general applications of EDTA in
commercial personal care products . However , EDTA is so proliferate in
industrial use , medical use , in commercial products and general waste that
it is becoming a major environmental pollutant . EDTA shows toxicity when
ingested orally in excess amounts , especially in the presence of Vitamin C
and sodium bicarbonate (common salt in soft drinks) . Avoid Soft drinks that
contain EDTA when Vitamin C and sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) are
also listed amongst the ingredients . Cosmetic and topical use of formulas
containing EDTA does not create toxicity level that cause direct harm to
human bodies , though many pro-natural , pro-organic group warn strongly
against toxic dangers of EDTA .
