Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) is an example of compound sequestration because it forms stable complexes with metal ions. EDTA can sequester calcium and magnesium ions in applications such as water treatment, preventing scale deposits and improving industrial processes. This highlights the practical benefits of compound sequestration, such as preventing pipe clogs and improving water softening efficiency.
