Overview

Experimental study demonstrates high-yield brushite synthesis from scallop shell waste, suggesting an eco-friendly route for industrial calcium phosphate production.

Key Points

To investigate the spontaneous precipitation and structural characteristics of brushite synthesized from scallop shell waste-derived calcium lactate and various phosphate salts.
Synthesized brushite by reacting calcium lactate extracted from scallop shell waste with sodium, potassium, or ammonium phosphate salts (M2HPO4, where M = Na, K, NH4).
Characterized sample properties using thermal analysis, factor group splitting vibrational analysis, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
Brushite Na achieved the highest production yield at 97.32%, whereas Brushite NH4 exhibited the highest purity at 86.28%.
Thermal analysis confirmed the presence of 2.5 mol H2O hydration water, while XRD and SEM verified pure monoclinic crystal structures displaying plate-like morphology with a dominant diffraction peak at ~11.65° (hkl = 020).
