文摘

Mussel shell, a calcium-rich resource, is found plenty in nature. We have developed a novel and facile method to convert mussel shell bio-waste into hydroxyapatite (HAp) biomaterial using microwave irradiation with the aid of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) as chelating agent. The obtained HAp had flower-like morphology which can be a potential candidate for developing biomaterial for orthopedic applications. Moreover, the developed method has the potential to recover the bio-waste and reduce environment pollution.
