- Complex Formation
The most important property of AP8401G is its ability to form water soluble complexes with polyvalent ions (e.g. calcium, magnesium, lead, copper, zinc, cadmium, mercury, manganese, iron) over a wide pH range from 2 to 13.5. MGDA usually forms 1:1 complexes, i. e. 1 mol of MGDA chelates binds to 1 mol of metal ions. These complexes remain stable, especially in alkaline media and even at temperatures of up to 100°C. In aqueous solutions, MGDA competes for metal ions with other anions such as hydroxide, sulfate, sulfide, carbonate and oxalate that form sparingly soluble metal salts. The formation of chelates reduces the concentration of free metal ions to such an extent that the solubility products of many sparingly soluble metal salts are no longer exceeded. The result is that the salt no longer percipitate or may even redissolve.
