Recently, the low biodegradability of these ligands and their accumulation in the environment has become cause for concern, because of the persistence of these ligands and their metal complexes in nature. Ethylenediaminedisuccinic acid (EDDS), iminodisuccinic acid (ISA), N-bis[2-(1,2- dicarboxyethoxy)ethyl]aspartic acid (BCA6), N-bis[2-(1,2-dicarboxyethoxy)ethyl]- glycine (BCA5), N-bis[2-(1,2-dicarboxyethoxy)ethyl]methylglycine (MBCA5) and N- tris[(1,2-dicarboxy-ethoxy)ethyl]amine (TCA6) are more environmentally benign and potential candidates to replace EDTA, and also diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA), in several applications.

With respect to free metal ions, metal ions in complexes are less reactive, less subject to precipitation 30 processes, and remain water-soluble for a longer time. Nutrient metals stay water-soluble for a longer time so that 31 plants/animals assimilate more. Toxic metals also stay water-soluble for a longer period of time and cause more 32 damage such as suppressing plant growth. Previously precipitated/adsorbed metal ions form complexes with available 33 chelating agents, are released back to water-soluble, and cause different effects (such as being transported to 34 underground water or to different geographical locations). Some basic concepts and issues related to chelation such as 35 complex stability, ligand stability, reversible processes, competition processes, etc, are presented in Appendix A: 36 Chelation and related issues. 37 38 Composition of the Substance: 39 40 Ethylenediamine-N,N’-disuccinic acid (EDDS) is one of the aminopolycarboxylic acids (APCAs).

  • “Inert” Ingredients Used in Organic Production
    “Inert” Ingredients Used in Organic Production Terry Shistar, PhD A Beyond Pesticides Report he relatively few registered pesticides allowed in organic production are contained in product formulations with so-called “inert” ingredients that are not disclosed on the T product label. The “inerts” make up the powder, liquid, granule, or spreader/sticking agents in pesticide formulations. The “inerts” are typically included in products with natural or synthetic active pesticide ingredients recommended by the National Organic Standards Board (NOSB) and listed by the National Organic Program (NOP) on the National List of Allowed and Prohibited Substances. Any of the pesticides that meet the standards of public health and environmental protection and organic compatibility in the Organic Foods Production Act (OFPA) may contain “inert” ingredients. Because the standards of OFPA are different from those used by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to regulate pesticides and given changes in how the agency categorizes inerts, the NOSB has adopted a series of recommendations since 2010 that established a substance review process as part of the sunset review. NOP has not followed through on the Board’s recommendations and, as a result, there are numerous materials in use that have not been subject to OFPA criteria. This report (i) traces the history of the legal requirements for review by the NOSB, (ii) identifies the universe of toxic and nontoxic materials that make of the category of “inerts” used in products permitted in organic production, and (iii) suggests a path forward to ensure NOSB compliance with OFPA and uphold the integrity of the USDA organic label.

    Catalyzed Calcium Peroxide as Treatment Technology for Organic Compound Contaminated Soil and Groundwater Master’s Thesis in Chemical Engineering Barend de Jong Section of Chemical Engineering Department of Chemistry and Bioscience Aalborg University, Esbjerg Denmark 07-06-2019 Preface The present writing is a master’s thesis named ’catalyzed calcium peroxide as treatment technology for organic contaminated soil and groundwater’ made by Barend de Jong. This work serves the final work for the Master of Science (M.Sc.) degree in Chemical Engineering at Aalborg University Esbjerg. This work was written in the period from the 1st of October 2018 till the 7th of June 2019, under supervision of Jens Muff. This thesis concerns technology development of calcium peroxide based in-situ chemical oxidation. The potential of this technology has been demonstrated in previous research, but requires more research, development and optimization. Laboratory studies are carried out in order to optimize a variety of operating parameters of aqueous and soil systems. Contaminants used in this work are benzoic acid and perchloroethene. Column studies were performed in order to determine the behaviour of this oxidant in subsurface environments. All experimental work was carried out at Aalborg University in Esbjerg. Soil samples and groundwater samples were provided by Rambøll during an excursion to the Kærgård plantation. 1 Chemical Engineering Aalborg University http://www.aau.dk Title: Abstract: Catalyzed Calcium Peroxide as Treatment In this work, calcium peroxide has been Technology for Organic Compound used as a source of hydrogen peroxide for Contaminated Soil and Groundwater the development of the calcium peroxide advanced oxidation process.

This is due to their ability to strongly bind metals, and perhaps their being available in the market over a long time now. Abundant evidences proved that they are not environmentally benign. This has spurred the quest of industrialists and academia, as prompted rise in formulations and proposals of Greener alternative chelators such as glutamic diacetic acid (L-GLDA), ethylenediamine disuccinic acid [S, by environmental policies, towards low toxicological profile and environmentally friendly chelating agents.
