After adding the EDTA chelate and a phosphate-based material reacting with the calcium to the calcium solution, the softening reaction was analyzed.

At this time, the phosphate (Phosphate) was used ammonium hydrogen phosphate (Ammonium hydrogen phosphate).

2a is a photograph of two types of solutions before the reaction of Experimental Example 1 of the present invention, FIG. 2b is a photograph of adding ammonium hydrogen phosphate to the two types of solutions, respectively, and FIG. 2c is a photograph of 2 after the reaction It is a picture of a solution of eggplant type.

Referring to FIG. 2a , a calcium and EDTA solution was prepared as the first solution, and a calcium solution was prepared as the second solution.

At this time, the concentration of calcium in solution 1 and solution 2 were the same.

Referring to FIG. 2B , it is a photograph of a process of adding ammonium hydrogen phosphate to two types of solutions, respectively.

Referring to FIG. 2c , it is a photograph of two types of solutions after ammonium hydrogen phosphate was added. In solution No. 1 containing the calcium and EDTA solution, after ammonium hydrogen phosphate was added, EDTA produced calcium. Since it was removed by adsorption, ammonium hydrogen phosphate did not react with calcium and the solution appeared transparent.

On the other hand, in the second solution containing only calcium, ammonium hydrogen phosphate reacted with calcium after ammonium hydrogen phosphate was added, so the solution was turbid.

Here, EDTA was removed by effectively adsorbing calcium (Ca).

<Experimental Example 2> Eco-friendly metal chelate gel filter softening performance analysis

Softening performance was analyzed using the eco-friendly metal chelate gel filter of Example 1.

After adding the environmentally friendly metal chelate gel filter of Example 1 and a phosphate-based material reacting with calcium to the calcium solution, the softening reaction was analyzed.

Here, calcium and ammonium hydrogen phosphate reacted in the solution on the left of the photo to which the eco-friendly metal chelate gel filter prepared in Example 1 was not added to induce a precipitation reaction, and the transparent solution turned cloudy.

On the other hand, in the solution on the right side of the photo to which the eco-friendly metal chelate gel filter prepared in Example 1 was put, the eco-friendly metal chelate gel filter prepared in Example 1 adsorbed and removed calcium, so that ammonium hydrogen phosphate was Calcium to be reacted was removed to maintain the transparency of the solution without causing a precipitation reaction.

Here, the eco-friendly metal chelate gel filter prepared in Example 1 effectively adsorbed and removed calcium (Ca) and maintained the transparency of the solution.
