INTRODUCTION

Zinc EDTA is a derivative of Ethylene diamine Tetra acetic Acid.

Ethylene diamine Tetra acetic Acid is a Sequestering/Chelating Agent. EDTA is a synthetic amino acid. It is widely known as EDTA. It is a white powder. EDTA Acid is insoluble in water. It is also named as Ethylene diamine Tetra acetate. It is widely used to dissolve Metallic Impurities. There are various Salts/Derivatives of EDTA.

EDTA is widely recognized as effective Sequestering Agent. EDTA grabs metallic cation such as Lead or Calcium from the process and forms a stable compound that is then excreted from the system. The stability of this bond is vital to get the success in removing the inorganic impurities out of the system. If the bond is weak, other chemicals can break this bond to form their own compounds.

Chelation is a special type of reaction in which a metal atom reacts with compound containing donor atoms (Chelating agents) to form a complex compound. The type of bond in between the donor atom and the acceptor atom (metal) is coordination bond. The complex formed by such a bond is highly stable over a wide temperature range but are attacked by strong oxidizing agents.

The word chelate is derived from the Greek word `Chele' which means `claus'. Thus the word is descriptive of the very tight bond formed between the chelating agent and the metalion. In a chelation complex or simply, chelate, because donor atoms are connected intermolecularly by chains of other atoms, a chelate ring is formed for each donor atom after the first which coordinates with the metal. The chelating agent is also called ligand.

Chelates and chelation reactions are abundant in nature and hundreds of technological applications are practiced. The technological importance of chelation derives from the almost universal presence of metal ions of one kind or another. They are present either naturally and often in spite of efforts to eliminate them, or by intentional addition. Chelating agents provide a means of manipulating and controlling metal ions by forming complexes that usually have properties that are markedly different from those of either the original ions or the chelants. These properties may serve to reduce undesirable effects of metal ions as in sequestration, or to create desirable effects as in metal buffering and solubalization.

Because of their length and complexity, sistermatic names of chelates are little used except for special purposes. Chelates are named in the literature in a variety of other ways, but in context, little or no difficulty in communication is encountered. Chelates are often named merely as a complex. A common practice in the literature is to give the symbol of the central atom and an abbreviation for the ligand with or without an indication of ionic charges, oxidation states structure, or counterions as in the following: Pb-EDTA, Cacit, Cu(en)2, Co(II)-(Phen and Na [Co(caca)3]. The complex form of zinc with EDTA is named as chelated zinc or Zn-EDTA.

Due to the special properties such as colour, catalytic effect and solubility properties of chelates, the chelation reaction is very important in a number of fields such as industrial, agriculture and biological fields.

One of the most powerful nutrient elements, Chelated Zinc 12% with Ethylene Diamine Acetic Acid (EDTA) ensures optimal utilization of Zinc for better growth and sustainable higher productivity of agricultural and plantation crops in a ay no comparable product does. EDTA based Chelated Zinc containing 12% Zinc is so integrated in the purest form as to provide the plants not only physiological stimuli to overcome environmental stresses, but also activates relevant enzymes to produce more of the harvestable units per area in per unit of time.
