Abstract
A composition includes a first chelating agent, a second chelating agent, and a plurality of metal ions. In one embodiment, the second chelating agent includes citric acid and is different than the first chelating agent. A method for forming a composition includes mixing a first chelating agent, a second chelating agent, and a metal salt together to form a mixture and processing the mixture to form at least one of a granulated composition and a powdered composition. In some embodiments, the second chelating agent includes citric acid and is different than the first chelating agent.
Claims20
A composition, comprising:
- a first chelating agent;
- a second chelating agent;
- and
- a plurality of metal ions,
- the composition includes an amount of the first chelating agent by weight, an amount of the second chelating agent by weight, and an amount of metal ions by weight, the sum of the amount of the first chelating agent and the amount of the second chelating agent is greater than the amount of the metal ions.
A composition, comprising:
- a first chelating agent;
- a second chelating agent;
- and
- a plurality of metal ions,
- the composition includes a first number of molecules of the first chelating agent, a second number of molecules of the second chelating agent, and a third number of chelated metal ions, the third number being greater than the sum of the first number and the second number.
A method of forming a composition, comprising:
- mixing a first amount of a first chelating agent with a second amount of a second chelating agent and a third amount of a metal salt to form a mixture, the second chelating agent different than the first chelating agent, a sum of the first amount and the second amount being greater than the third amount;
- and
- processing the mixture to form said composition into at least one selected from the group consisting of a granulated composition and a powdered composition.
