Sodium edetate Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Chemical Properties Tetrasodium EDTA is a white crystalline solid.
Chemical Properties White powder. Freely soluble in water.
Uses General-purpose chelating agent.
Potential Exposure Used therapeutically in treating arteriosclerosis. Used as a metal cleaner; in detergents, liquid soaps; shampoos; metal chelating agent; in textiles industry to improve dyeing, scouring, and detergent operations; antioxidant.
Shipping UN3077 Environmentally hazardous substances, solid, n.o.s., Hazard class: 9; Labels: 9-Miscellaneous hazardous material, Technical Name Required.
Incompatibilities Compounds of the carboxyl group react with all bases, both inorganic and organic (i.e., amines) releasing substantial heat, water and a salt that may be harmful. Incompatible with arsenic compounds (releases hydrogen cyanide gas), diazo compounds, dithiocarbamates, isocyanates, mercaptans, nitrides, and sulfides (releasing heat, toxic and possibly flammable gases), thiosulfates and dithionites (releasing hydrogen sulfate and oxides of sulfur). Incompatible with oxidizers (chlorates, nitrates, peroxides, permanganates, perchlorates, chlorine, bromine, fluorine, etc.); contact may cause fires or explosions. Keep away from alkaline materials, strong bases, strong acids, oxoacids, epoxides. Can solubilize metals
Toxics Screening Level The initial threshold screening level (ITSL) for ethylenediamine tetra-acetic acid, tetrasodium salt is 0.1 μg/m3 based on an annual averaging time.
Waste Disposal It is inappropriate and possibly dangerous to the environment to dispose of expired or waste drugs and pharmaceuticals by flushing them down the toilet or discarding them to the trash. Household quantities of expired or waste pharmaceuticals may be mixed with wet cat litter or coffee grounds, double-bagged in plastic, discard in trash. Larger quantities shall carefully take into consideration applicable DEA, EPA, and FDA regulations. If possible return the pharmaceutical to the manufacturer for proper disposal being careful to properly lab el and securely package the material. Alternatively, the waste pharmaceutical shall be labeled, securely packaged and transported by a state licensed medical waste contractor to dispose by burial in a licensed hazardous or toxic waste landfill or incinerator
