Handling and Storage
  • Wear appropriate protective equipments. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing.
  • HIDS solution is alkaline. It generates heat when mixed with strong acids.
  • Avoid direct sunlight and keep closed tightly for storage.
  • Avoid iron, copper and galvanized steel bottles. Use stainless steel or plastic bottles for storage.
Protective equipments
Eye protection Face shields or safety goggles
Hand protection Wear rubber gloves.
Skin and Body protection When contact is likely, rubber gloves and rubber boots.

HIDS Properties
• Acid dissociation constants and stability constants

Acid dissociation constants pKa1: 2.83
pKa2: 3.56
pKa3: 5.15
pKa4: 9.11
Complex Stability constants pKaCa2+: 4.8
pKaFe3+: 12.5
C.V. value 300 mg CaCO3/g

• Fe3+chelating capability

HIDS forms water-soluble complexes with various kinds of metal ions over a wide range of pH. In particular, it shows superior performance in chelating Fe3+ ion in alkaline solution.

Test solution HIDS (or EDTA): 0.01M
Fe3+: 0.01M
Temperature Room temperature
Experimental procedure The test solution was allowed to stand at room temperature for one week. The solution was then filtered to separate the sediment (hydrated Fe compounds), and Fe3+ concentration in the filtrate was determined by inductively coupled plasma (ICP).

• Thermal stability and pH stability

HIDS shows high stability in harsh conditions. HIDS is stable at high temperature and at a range of pH 4-13.

Condition HIDS : 10%
Temperature : 80ºC
Experimental procedure The test solution was incubated at 80°C, and aliquots were sampled at the indicated hours. The residual HIDS amount was measured using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
graph

• Solubility in alkaline solution

HIDS is highly soluble in aqueous alkaline solutions. Therefore, HIDS can be added into concentrated alkaline solutions without solubilizing agents.

Measurement temperature 0ºC

• Solubilization of water-insoluble calcium salt

HIDS is able to solubilize water-insoluble calcium salt, which is the main component of scales. HIDS effectively removes scales in tanks and tubes, and prevents scale generation.

Test solution Water-insoluble calcium salt: 0.6%
Chelating agent: 0.2%
NaOH: 3%
Temperature: 80ºC
Experimental procedure The test solution was stirred at 80ºC for one hour, and the concentration of dissolved Ca2+ was measured
graph

(*)Calcium salt solubilization ability: Ratio of the dissolved Ca salt to the initially added calcium salt.

• Glass corrosion

HIDS is less corrosive to glasses compared with other chelating agents.

Test solution NaOH: 10%
Chelating agent: 3%
Test piece: Slide glass
Temperature: 100ºC
Experimental procedure The test pieces were placed in the test solution for three days at 100ºC. Those pieces were weighed after washing, and the corrosion degree was calculated from the weight change.
