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 …

Bivalves aquaculture is already considered a very sustainable for of food production and
might become an essential pillar on which to develop future global food security. However …

We evaluated Mytilus coruscus shells (MCS) as an adsorbent for fluoride removal. Its
removal efficiency was enhanced by thermal treatment and MCS at 800° C (MCS-800) …

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 …

Living roof systems are attractive nature-based solutions that effectively use underutilised
roof space to help mitigate urban environmental, economic, and social challenges. Although …

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 …

Mussel shell is a carbonate-rich by-product that could be recycled in wastewater treatment.
In this work, phosphorus removal from aqueous solutions was obtained in a series of batch …

The role of marine bivalves in the CO2 cycle has been commonly evaluated as the balance
between respiration, shell calcium carbonate sequestration, and CO2 release during …

Modern technologies designed to treat wastewater containing phosphorus compounds are
based on the processes of adsorption and precipitation. In addition, more environmentally …

In this work, fisheries by-product (mussel shells) is co-pyrolyzed with forestry residues in a
fast pyrolysis lab scale reactor to determine impact on biochar quality. Both mussel shells …
