Aware of how complex the problems related to the world of chemistry applied to ceramic production processes can be, we want to share our knowledge with those who want to orient themselves or train for passion or profession. Through a simple and direct language, the podcast aims to be an educational space with a focus on products, applications and processes. The journey unfolds along the ceramic production lines. At each stage a topic. At each topic a critical issue. At each critical issue, when possible, a solution.

Complexing agents and ceramic production: what they are and how they work
Complexing agents are capable of catching multivalent cations present in suspension to prevent them from negatively affecting the ceramic process.
They are responsible for one of the main mechanisms underlying the deflocculation process: complexation.
Complexing agents (or chelating agents) are chemicals that bind to specific ions (such as calcium, magnesium, iron, etc.), forming stable complexes.
This property allows them to "sequester" metals, making them less reactive or preventing their precipitation in solutions.
These are simplified and very short descriptions of this particular category of additives.
The episode takes a closer look at the mechanisms enacted by these substances within the ceramic production process, highlighting their functions, benefits, and sometimes, risks.
