Emerging Opportunities in Biodegradable Chelating Agents Market with Current Trends Analysis up to 2026
Chelating agents are organic chemical compounds that can form more than one bond with simple metal ion and boost the stability of the complex ion. They are used to prevent the harmful effect of free metal ions. Common chelating agents include ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA). These chelating agents are not biodegradable; they can lead to serious environmental issues. Environmental issues can be overcome by biodegradable chelating agents such as Methylglycinediacetic acid (MGDA), L-Glutamic acid N, N-diacetic acid (GLDA), Ethylenediamine-N, N-Disuccinic Acid (EDDS), and sodium gluconate. Key factors driving the biodegradable chelating agents market include potential health and environmental hazards associated with the use of non-biodegradable organic chelating compounds. Demand for biodegradable chelating agents is expected to increase due to the implementation of stringent environmental regulations across the globe. T...
