Industrial production is booming

Disease is easier to prevent Disease is easier to prevent than to treatthan to treat

The threatening accumulation in the environment indestructible chelating agents (EDDA, OEDF, NTA) becomes one of the environmental problems, but the modern industry can not do without it any longer.

The traditional highly resistant complexones mast be replaced by novel biodegradable and environmentally friendly chelating agents, which properties should be equal or better than those of traditional.

Our project is focused on the production of such novel chelating agents, IDS, EDDS and metal complexonates based on them.

The formation of non-toxic, environmentally safe products from these chelating agents, such as amino acids, will not accumulate and contaminate the environment. Once introduced into the environment, these chelating agents can be assimilated and processed by microorganisms, plants, and animals.

At the same time, they are able to form stable complexes with metal ions, which provides wide opportunities for their application.

Our research results

• We have defined the features of the new compounds (stability, complex-forming ability, biologically activity, environmental friendliness)

• We have optimized the parameters for the synthesis process.

Wide opportunities for IDS and EDDS application, the exponentially increasing number of articles around the world on IDS and EDDS, provides indisputable evidence of the social and economic

relevance and importance of our project.
