Being nondestructive and requiring short measurement times, a low amount of material, and
no sample preparation, Raman spectroscopy is used for routine investigation in the study of …

Hydroxyapatite (HAp) was successfully produced by using recycled eggshell. The observed
phases of the synthesised materials were dependent on the mechanochemical activation …

Raman spectroscopy was used to study vaterite samples of biological, geological and
synthetic origin. The Raman band positions and the full width at half‐maximum (FWHM) of …

Food industry is known to produce, as a side product, huge amounts of eggshell.“Green
chemistry” is searching for efficient ways of recycling antropogenic waste materials including …

Quantifying the saturation state of aragonite (Ω Ar) within the calcifying fluid of corals is
critical for understanding their biomineralization process and sensitivity to environmental …

In the present study, we investigated the shell microstructures of the gastropod European
abalone Haliotis tuberculata in order to clarify the complex spatial distribution of the different …

Hydroxyapatite (HAp) was successfully produced from recycled eggshell, seashell and
phosphoric acid. The phases obtained depended on the ratio of calcined eggshell/seashell …

Million tons of sea shells are produced as bio-waste around the world every day and these
create odors and promote microbial growth, and emit CO 2 in lesser extent as they …

Raman and IR spectroscopy were used for the characterization of several minerals in
morphologically similar vertisol sequences from Kiževak (Serbia). It helped us to establish …

The possibility to define a two-way relationship between age and a spectral property of
ancient flax textiles has been investigated in the present paper employing both FT-IR and …
