Every year, close to 8 million tons of waste crab, shrimp and lobster shells are produced
globally, as well as 10 million tons of waste oyster, clam, scallop and mussel shells. The …

Global production of shell calcium carbonate (CaCO 3) from bivalve aquaculture amounts
about 13.6 million metric tons per year. Shells, traditionally considered a waste of …

This paper demonstrates for the first time the feasibility of utilising waste mussel shells for
the synthesis of hydroxyapatite, Ca 10 (PO 4) 6 (OH) 2 (denoted as HAP) to be used as a …

Molluscan shells are an example of a mineral-based biocomposite material, and most
studies to date have focused on understanding their biomineralization mechanisms …

The shell of the freshwater mussel (Mollusca: Bivalvia) is a composite biological material
linked with multifunctional roles in sustaining ecosystem services. Apart from providing …

The waste generated by the periwinkle (Tympanotonus fuscatus) shell cannot be
undermined. In coastal communities worldwide, periwinkle is a major source of proteins and …

A novel nanoporous adsorbent was obtained through the thermal treatment and chemical
wash of the wasted crab shells (BC1) and characterized by various techniques. The …

Mussel shells are a source of renewable CaCO 3 and can be obtained from aquaculture
waste streams. Valorization of waste shells relieves strain on landfills and aligns with the …

As estações de tratamento de água são unidades industriais empregadas em grande
escala no tratamento de água doce bruta para o consumo humano. No entanto, o processo …

The valorization of oyster or mussel shells toward metakaolin-based geomaterials was
investigated. The aim is to better understand the feasibility and the reaction involved during …
