Overview

This work demonstrates a sustainable method to produce calcium formate from shell waste, highlighting its environmental benefits.

Key Points

  • This research aims to explore an efficient method for synthesizing calcium formate from cockle shell waste.
  • Calcium formate was synthesized using varying concentrations of formic acid (50%, 60%, and 70%) from cockle shell waste.
  • Chemical and physical properties were analyzed using FT-IR, XRD, XRF, TGA, and SEM techniques.
  • Crystallization and reactions were observed at different formic acid concentrations.
  • The optimal synthesis condition was achieved with 60% formic acid, yielding pure calcium formate.
  • 50% and 60% formic acid produced well-crystallized α-calcium formate, while 70% caused incomplete conversion with residual CaCO3.
  • The proposed method is identified as a simple, rapid, and cost-effective solution for calcium formate production.
