Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA) is used in pharmaceutical manufacturing and as a food additive.

-Industrial uses of Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA):
Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA) is mainly used to sequester (bind or confine) metal ions in aqueous solution.
In the textile industry, Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA) prevents metal ion impurities from modifying colours of dyed products.
In the pulp and paper industry, Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA) inhibits the ability of metal ions, especially Mn2+, from catalysing the disproportionation of hydrogen peroxide, which is used in chlorine-free bleaching.

-Gas scrubbing uses of Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA):
Aqueous [Fe(EDTA)]− is used for removing ("scrubbing") hydrogen sulfide from gas streams.
This conversion is achieved by oxidising the hydrogen sulfide to elemental sulfur, which is non-volatile:

2 [Fe(EDTA)]− + H2S → 2 [Fe(EDTA)]2− + S + 2 H+
In this application, the iron(III) centre is reduced to its iron(II) derivative, which can then be reoxidised by air.
In a similar manner, nitrogen oxides are removed from gas streams using [Fe(EDTA)]2−.

-Food uses of Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA):
In a similar manner, Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA) is added to some food as a preservative or stabiliser to prevent catalytic oxidative decolouration, which is catalysed by metal ions.

-Water softener uses of Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA):
The reduction of water hardness in laundry applications and the dissolution of scale in boilers both rely on Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA) and related complexants to bind Ca2+, Mg2+, as well as other metal ions.

Once bound to Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA), these metal complexes are less likely to form precipitates or to interfere with the action of the soaps and detergents.

For similar reasons, cleaning solutions often contain Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA).
In a similar manner Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA) is used in the cement industry for the determination of free lime and free magnesia in cement and clinkers.

The solubilisation of Fe3+ ions at or below near neutral pH can be accomplished using Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA).
This property is useful in agriculture including hydroponics.

However, given the pH dependence of ligand formation, Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA) is not helpful for improving iron solubility in above neutral soils.
Otherwise, at near-neutral pH and above, iron(III) forms insoluble salts, which are less bioavailable to susceptible plant species.

-Application of Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA):
Stock solution: 0.5 M in water, pH 8.5.
Recommended final concentration for enzyme inhibition 1-10 mM.

The disodium salt of Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA) only dissolves when the pH-value is around 8.0.
Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA) is used for molecular biology and biochemistry.

-Ion-exchange chromatography uses of Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA):
Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA) was used in separation of the lanthanide metals by ion-exchange chromatography.
Perfected by F. H. Spedding et al. in 1954, the method relies on the steady increase in stability constant of the lanthanide Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA) complexes with atomic number.

Using sulfonated polystyrene beads and Cu2+ as a retaining ion, Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA) causes the lanthanides to migrate down the column of resin while separating into bands of pure lanthanides.

The lanthanides elute in order of decreasing atomic number.
Due to the expense of this method, relative to countercurrent solvent extraction, ion exchange is now used only to obtain the highest purities of lanthanides (typically greater than 99.99%).

-Medicine uses of Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA):
Sodium calcium edetate, an Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA) derivative, is used to bind metal ions in the practice of chelation therapy, such as for treating mercury and lead poisoning.

Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA) is used in a similar manner to remove excess iron from the body.
This therapy is used to treat the complication of repeated blood transfusions, as would be applied to treat thalassaemia.

-In testing uses of Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA):
In medical diagnosis and organ function tests (here, kidney function test), the chromium(III) complex [Cr(EDTA)]− (as radioactive chromium-51 (51Cr)) is administered intravenously and its filtration into the urine is monitored.

This method is useful for evaluating glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in nuclear medicine.
Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA) is used extensively in the analysis of blood.

Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA) is an anticoagulant for blood samples for CBC/FBCs, where the Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA) chelates the calcium present in the blood specimen, arresting the coagulation process and preserving blood cell morphology.

Tubes containing Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA) are marked with lavender (purple) or pink tops.
Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA) is also in tan top tubes for lead testing and can be used in royal blue top tubes for trace metal testing.

Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA) is a slime dispersant, and has been found to be highly effective in reducing bacterial growth during implantation of intraocular lenses (IOLs).

-Dentistry uses of Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA):
Dentists and endodontists use Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA) solutions to remove inorganic debris (smear layer) and lubricate the root canals in endodontics.

This procedure helps prepare root canals for obturation.
Furthermore, Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA) solutions with the addition of a surfactant loosen up calcifications inside a root canal and allow instrumentation (canal shaping) and facilitate apical advancement of a file in a tight or calcified root canal towards the apex.

-Eyedrops uses of Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA):
Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA) serves as a preservative (usually to enhance the action of another preservative such as benzalkonium chloride or thiomersal) in ocular preparations and eyedrops.

-Alternative medicine uses of Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA):
Some alternative practitioners believe Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA) acts as an antioxidant, preventing free radicals from injuring blood vessel walls, therefore reducing atherosclerosis.

These ideas are unsupported by scientific studies, and seem to contradict some currently accepted principles.
The U.S. FDA has not approved Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA) for the treatment of atherosclerosis.

-Laboratory applications of Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA):
In the laboratory, Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA) is widely used for scavenging metal ions: In biochemistry and molecular biology, ion depletion is commonly used to deactivate metal-dependent enzymes, either as an assay for their reactivity or to suppress damage to DNA, proteins, and polysaccharides.

Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA) also acts as a selective inhibitor against dNTP hydrolyzing enzymes (Taq polymerase, dUTPase, MutT), liver arginase and horseradish peroxidase independently of metal ion chelation.
These findings urge the rethinking of the utilisation of Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA) as a biochemically inactive metal ion scavenger in enzymatic experiments.

In analytical chemistry, Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA) is used in complexometric titrations and analysis of water hardness or as a masking agent to sequester metal ions that would interfere with the analyses.
Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA) finds many specialised uses in the biomedical labs, such as in veterinary ophthalmology as an anticollagenase to prevent the worsening of corneal ulcers in animals.

In tissue culture, Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA) is used as a chelating agent that binds to calcium and prevents joining of cadherins between cells, preventing clumping of cells grown in liquid suspension, or detaching adherent cells for passaging.
In histopathology, Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA) can be used as a decalcifying agent making it possible to cut sections using a microtome once the tissue sample is demineralised.

Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA) is also known to inhibit a range of metallopeptidases, the method of inhibition occurs via the chelation of the metal ion required for catalytic activity.

Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA) can also be used to test for bioavailability of heavy metals in sediments.
However, Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA) may influence the bioavailability of metals in solution, which may pose concerns regarding its effects in the environment, especially given its widespread uses and applications.

-Digoxin toxicity uses of Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA):
Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA) has also been used to treat digoxin toxicity, although most doctors prefer to use other methods.
In this case, Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA) helps remove excess levels of digoxin, a medication that is used to treat abnormal rhythms of the heart.

-Atherosclerosis uses of Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA):
Evidence that Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA) chelation therapy is effective for heart disease is mixed.
Proponents believe Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA) may help people with atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) or peripheral vascular disease (decreased blood flow to the legs) by clearing clogged arteries and improving blood flow.

However, the few studies that show Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA) may help have been poorly designed, making the results questionable.
The theory that Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA) clears clogged arteries and improves blood flow is based on an outdated model about what causes heart disease.

Newer theories include the possibility that Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA) functions like an antioxidant, preventing damaging molecules known as free radicals from injuring blood vessel walls and allowing plaque to build up.

In fact, studies suggest that Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA) chelation therapy in combination with oral high-dose vitamins and minerals significantly reduced the occurrence of cardiac events compared to placebo.

Other studies suggest Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA) chelation reduces further cardiac events among people who have diabetes, who have already had a heart attack.

-Chelation therapy is a treatment that involves repeated intravenous (IV) administration of a chemical solution of Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA).
Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA) is used to treat acute and chronic lead poisoning by pulling toxins (including heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, and mercury) from the bloodstream.

The word "chelate" comes from the Greek root chele, which means "to claw."
Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA) has a claw-like molecular structure that binds to heavy metals and other toxins.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA) chelation therapy as a treatment for lead and heavy metal poisoning.

Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA) is also used as an emergency treatment for hypercalcemia (excessive calcium levels) and the control of ventricular arrhythmias (abnormal heart rhythms) associated with digitalis toxicity.

Studies by the National Academy of Sciences/National Research Council in the late 1960s suggested that Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA) might be effective in the treatment of arteriosclerosis (blocked arteries).

However, most well-designed studies have found that Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA) is not effective for heart disease.
In fact, many medical organizations, including the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the American Medical Association (AMA), the American Heart
Association (AHA), and the American College of Cardiology (ACC), have publicly criticized and denounced the practice of Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA) chelation therapy for heart disease.

Proponents of chelation therapy for heart disease claim that Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA), combined with oral vitamins and minerals, helps dissolve plaques and mineral deposits associated with atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries).

Most reports about using chelation therapy for heart disease have been based on case studies and a few animal studies that may not apply to people.
Also, several large-scale clinical trials published in peer-reviewed journals have found that Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA) chelation therapy is no better than placebo in improving symptoms of heart disease.

Some medical experts note that theories about why chelation might help treat atherosclerosis depend on an outdated understanding of how heart disease develops.
Finally, and probably most importantly, the safety of Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA) chelation therapy for people with heart disease is not known.
