Edetic Acid
Known as EDTA, it is a chelating agent synthesised in 1935 by Ferdinand Münz in Germany: it binds metal ions tightly and, with its salts, is used against lead poisoning, as an anticoagulant in blood test tubes and as a preservative. This family brings together other impurities.
Did you know?Münz was looking for a substitute for citric acid to reduce Germany's dependence on imports; today about 80,000 tonnes of EDTA are produced every year.
