Abstract

Ethylenediamine-N,N'-disuccinic acid is a biodegradable alternative to EDTA, therefore its use for the sequestration of Ca2+, Sn2+, Cu2+, Zn2+ and Fe3+ is analyzed. New data on its binding ability towards these cations were obtained with potentiometric, voltammetric and calorimetric measurements at different ionic strengths and at T = 298.15 K. Real multi-component fluids, namely fresh water, urine, sea water, saliva and blood plasma were chosen as case studies to evaluate the sequestering ability of EDDS in comparison with EDTA. Speciation diagrams were drawn in selected conditions, considering all interactions among the “natural” components of the fluid and those studied in this work, EDDS and EDTA (cL = 1 mmol dm-3) as sequestering agents and the cited metal cations (cM ~ 10-5 mol dm-3). The comparison of the sequestering ability of EDDS and EDTA is done using pM and pL0.5. In blood plasma the plasma mobilizing index was adopted. It was found that EDDS is a good alternative to EDTA, which tends to bind Ca2+ and Mg2+ more than EDDS. In particular, EDTA cannot be used as a sequestrant for Sn2+ when cCa > cEDTA. EDDS is more efficient than EDTA at pH < 8, particularly in urine, where carbonate is absent. In sea water, the sequestering ability of EDDS towards Fe3+ is higher than that of EDTA. In blood plasma, the PMI of EDDS towards Cu2+ is higher than that of EDTA. Thermodynamic information, in terms of ΔH and ΔS, for the protonation and metal complex formation reactions are reported.
