Hey man,
Chelation, put simply, occurs when various organic compounds bind to inorganic elements to prevent precipitation and improve mobility within plant pathways. As for pH buffering, any number of compounds can be used to buffer for acids or bases to within certain pH ranges (and that only to a given degree) and they will vary depending on the chemical makeup of each nutrient concentrate. Of course, much of this is proprietary information and manufacturers keep details to themselves (as do I), but your observation is correct -- these guys have not reinvented the wheel; and charging that amount is, as the locals here would say, "taking the fucking piss, maate!"
