OXALATE INFORMATION CENTER
AE Oxalates ™
Oxalates are salts or esters of oxalic acid. Many oxalates formed with metal ions are insoluble, for example calcium oxalate the primary constituent of common kidney stones. It is a colourless, crystalline, toxic organic compound found in many plants, especially rhubarb, wood sorrel, and spinach, usually as calcium or potassium oxalates. Many other edible plants that contain significant concentrations of oxalate, including star fruit (carambola), black pepper, parsley, poppy seed, amaranth, spinach, chard, beets, cocoa, chocolate, most nuts, most berries, fishtail palms, New Zealand spinach (Tetragonia tetragonioides) and beans. The gritty “mouth feel” one experiences when drinking milk with a rhubarb dessert is caused by precipitation of calcium oxalate. The calcium is abstracted from the casein in dairy products. Leaves of the tea plant (Camellia sinensis) contain among the greatest measured concentrations of oxalic acid. However the infusion beverage typically contains only low to moderate amounts of oxalic acid per serving, due to the small mass of leaves used for brewing. Because it forms soluble chelates with iron, some of the iron in these plants is not available nutritionally. However, this property makes it useful because it converts most insoluble iron compounds into a soluble complex ion. Oxalates are used for removing blood and rust stains, cleaning metals other than iron, and removing scale from automobile radiators. Unlike other carboxylic acids (except formic acid), oxalic acid is readily oxidized; this makes it useful as a reducing agent for photography, bleaching, and ink removal. Purities include 99%, 99.9%, 99.99%, 99.999% and 99.9999% which are sometimes referred to as 2N, 3N, 4N, 5N and 6N. Physical properties may include nanopowder, nano particle, submicron, - 325 mesh, rod, foil, and high surface area carbonate with particle distribution and particle size controlled and certified. We produce larger - 40 mesh, - 100 mesh, -200 mesh range sizes and < 0.5 mm, 2 mm, 5 mm and other mm size shot, granules, lump, flake and pieces, too. American Elements maintains industrial scale production for all its oxalate products. American Elements will execute Non-Disclosure or Confidentiality Agreements to protect customer know-how.
