CAS 15467-20-6: Disodium nitrilotriacetate
Description:Disodium nitrilotriacetate (Na2NTA) is a chelating agent commonly used in various applications, including agriculture, water treatment, and as a stabilizer in personal care products. It is the disodium salt of nitrilotriacetic acid, featuring a molecular structure that allows it to effectively bind metal ions, thereby preventing precipitation and enhancing solubility. This compound is typically found as a white, crystalline powder that is soluble in water, making it suitable for use in aqueous solutions. Disodium nitrilotriacetate is known for its ability to form stable complexes with divalent and trivalent metal ions, which is particularly useful in preventing metal ion interference in chemical reactions. Additionally, it is considered to have low toxicity, although its environmental impact is a subject of ongoing research. Its use is regulated in some regions due to concerns about its potential to contribute to the formation of harmful byproducts in aquatic systems. Overall, disodium nitrilotriacetate is valued for its versatility and effectiveness as a chelating agent in various industrial and environmental applications.
