Crustacean shells are a sustainable source of chitin. Extracting chitin from crustacean shells
is ongoing research, much of which is devoted to devising a sustainable process that yields …

The escalating global demand for chemicals and energy, coupled with the rising carbon
emissions resulting from the extraction and combustion of fossil fuels, has had detrimental …

Marine-derived food wastes mainly include seafood, fish and feed production resources.
From the crustaceans traded annually, 6 to 8 million tonnes of valuable shrimp, lobster …

Bone defect is usually difficult to recover quickly, and bone scaffold transplantation is
considered to be an effective method. Biomaterials have a wide range of application …

Removing microplastics (MPs) from water has been a huge challenge due to their inherent
features including small size and high stability. In this research, inspired by the active …

Chitin is a naturally occurring biopolymer, while chitosan is a deacetylated derivative of
chitin. The unique properties of chitin/chitosan, such as nitrogen-rich, biodegradability, non …

Chitin is the most abundant marine biopolymer, being recovered during the shell biorefining
of crustacean shell waste. In its native form, chitin displays a poor reactivity and solubility in …

Disposal of biodegradable waste of seashells leads to an environmental imbalance. A
tremendous amount of wastes produced from flourishing shell fish industries while preparing …

Extraction of chitin from crustacean waste with acidic natural deep eutectic solvents
(NADESs) is usually accompanied by degradation of chitin, which lowers the yield and …

This study aimed to get an insight into the adsorption of three synthetic dyes onto chitin
using experimental and computational approaches. The successful preparation of α-chitin …
