Summary: The study investigated the synthesis of bioactive calcium phosphates using different biogenic calcium carbonates and their effects on cell adhesion and proliferation. The phase composition and densification of the sintered materials were found to be influenced by the source of CaCO3 and sintering temperature. Preliminary in vitro tests showed good cell adhesion and proliferation, with variations observed among different materials.

Summary: This study developed a novel low-cost chemical compound named hydroxyl-eggshell (ES-OH) for arsenic removal from aqueous solutions, providing a local and environmentally-friendly way of recycling eggshells. The adsorption mechanism of ES-OH on arsenic was found to be vladimirite precipitation followed by weak electrostatic interactions, showing promising potential for application in egg-processing industries.

Summary: The presence of lead in wastewater poses a threat to the quality of water, as well as the aquatic organisms and the environment. Therefore, proper wastewater treatment is necessary before discharging it into receiving water bodies. This study synthesized and investigated the efficiency of lead removal using chicken eggshell powder (CP) and chicken eggshell powder-doped iron (III) oxide-hydroxide (CPF) through various experiments. CPF demonstrated higher lead removal efficiency compared to CP, requiring less material dosage and contact time. Additionally, CPF showed promise as a reusable material for lead adsorption in industrial applications.

Summary: This paper presents a rapid method to obtain pure suspensions of Ca(OH)2 dispersed in 2-propanol using eggshell wastes (CaCO3). The synthesized Ca(OH)2 suspensions were characterized by XRD, FTIR, TG, TEM, and XRD using Rietveld refinement method. The study found that the method is advantageous due to the high purity of the eggshell and the full conversion of CaO into Ca(OH)2, eliminating the need for purification steps. Furthermore, the Ca(OH)2 from eggshell showed promising results in reinforcing architectural stone.

Summary: Avian eggs offer a natural and environmentally friendly source of raw materials with great potential in tissue engineering. The components of avian eggs, such as the eggshell, eggshell membrane, egg white, and egg yolk, have been studied for their applications in bone repair, skin tissue regeneration, protein-based hydrogel scaffolds, and wound healing. Despite their advantages, there are still limitations and future perspectives that need to be considered in utilizing these components for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.
