AN268: Determination of Chelating Agents in Drinking Water and Wastewater Samples
Description
Aminopolycarboxylate chelating agents form stable water-soluble complexes with alkali and transition metal ions, thus increasing metal solubility and preventing metal-catalyzed reactions. In wastewater treatment plants, chelating agents can interfere with metal removal processes and contaminate the environment upon discharge. Here EDTA, NTA, DTPA, and EGTA chelating agents are determined at μg/L concentrations in municipal wastewater samples. The chelating agents are separated on a Dionex IonPac AS7 column using methanesulfonic acid and detected by PAD with a Pt working electrode.| Market: | Environmental |
