Heavy metals contamination in water has been an issue to the environment and human
health. The persisting contamination level has been observed and concerned by the public …

This mini-review reports curbing waste shells (ie seashells, eggshells, snail shells, etc.),
environmental health issues and liabilities by using them as material for heterogenous …

Marine shell waste is a very rich source of several bioactive compounds and materials, such
as calcium, chitin, pigments, and proteins. Currently, this waste material is greatly …

This study used untreated Anadara inaequivalvis shells as a biosorbent for Cu (II) and Pb (II)
ion removal from aqueous solutions. The biosorbent was characterized using SEM, XRD …

As a natural biological adsorbent, shell powder is inexpensive, highly efficient, and does not
leave any chemical residue; thus, it can be used to remove contaminants from water. In this …

We have developed a straightforward, one-pot, low-temperature hydrothermal method to
transform oyster shell waste particles (bCCP) from the species Crassostrea gigas (Mg …

In this study, novel blend hydrogel beads were prepared for the use in removal of anionic
textile dyes due to their hazardous impact to nature. Sodium alginate and sodium …

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

In the current study, the structural and adsorptive properties of the micro crystalline cellulose
beads, Cellets 200 and 350, as well as the possibility to use them as adsorbents for removal …

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 …
