I-N-(2-Hydroxyethyl) iminodiacetic acid (HEIDA) yikhemikhali yekhemikhali enezicelo ezininzi kwiinkalo ezahlukeneyo.I-agent ye-chelating, oku kuthetha ukuba inamandla okubopha i-ion zetsimbi kunye nokwenza ii-complexes ezizinzileyo.
Kwikhemikhali yohlalutyo, i-HEIDA ihlala isetyenziswa njenge-arhente eyinkimbinkimbi kwi-titrations kunye nokwahlula kohlalutyo.Ingasetyenziselwa ukuthunga ii-ion zetsimbi, ezifana ne-calcium, i-magnesium, kunye nentsimbi, kwaye ngaloo ndlela zibathintele ekuphazamiseni ukuchaneka kwemilinganiselo yohlalutyo.
I-HEIDA ikwafumanisa ukusetyenziswa kwishishini loxubo-mayeza, ngakumbi ekuqulunqweni kwamayeza athile.Ingasetyenziswa njenge-stabilizer kunye ne-agent ye-solubilizing kumachiza anganyibiliki kakuhle, inceda ekuphuculeni i-bioavailability kunye nokusebenza kakuhle.
Enye indawo yokusetyenziswa kwe-HEIDA ikwinkalo yokucocwa kwamanzi amdaka kunye nokulungiswa kokusingqongileyo.Ingaqeshwa njenge-arhente yokuhlutha ukususa ukungcola kwesinyithi esinzima emanzini okanye emhlabeni, ngokunciphisa ubuthi babo kunye nokukhuthaza iinzame zokulungisa.
Ukongezelela, i-HEIDA isetyenziswe kwi-synthesis ye-coordination compounds kunye ne-metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), enezicelo ezahlukeneyo kwi-catalysis, ukugcinwa kwegesi, kunye nokuziva.
