Procedure

The chelating agent GLC, which is sometimes referred to as gluconate and/or as sodium gluconate, can be purchased from Jungbunzlauer AG, St. Alben—Vorstadt 90, CH-4002, Basel, Switzerland. It can be purchased as a powdered concentrate in 25 kg bags and 1000 kg bags. Sodium gluconate is the sodium salt of gluconic acid, which can be produced by fermentation of glucose. It can be white to tan in color, granular to fine in particle size, very soluble in water, non-corrosive, non-toxic, and/or readily biodegradable (98% after 2 days).
