There are several types of chelating agents

The type of chelating agent can be divided into three categories:
Stable metal ions: Chelators and metal ions form a stable complex to prevent metal ions from reaction or precipitation with other substances, thereby stabilizing the existence of metal ions. This stability is of great significance for preventing metal ions from precipitating, falling off or being oxidized in the solution.
Adjust the solubility of metal ions: Chelators can change the solubility of metal ions. When metal ions and chelars form complexing, the solubility of the complex may be different from the solubility of the original metal ions. By choosing chelars appropriately, the solubility of metal ions under different conditions can be adjusted to meet the needs of specific processes or applications.
Chelature selectivity: Different chelars have different selectivity for different metal ions. This means that the appropriate chelating agent can be used to selectively capture, separate or detect specific metal ions. By selecting a high -selective chelating agent, high -efficiency capture and separation of specific metal ions can be achieved, such as the removal of harmful metal ions in the field of environmental monitoring and water quality treatment.
In general, the type of chelating agent includes stable metal ions, regulating solubility, and selective chelating. These types make chelated agents have extensive application value in the field of chemistry and industry.
