| Abstract Scope |
The objective of this work is to synthesize and characterize synthetic hydroxyapatite using chicken eggshell waste as a source of calcium. The eggshell was analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform spectroscopy (FTIR) techniques. The hydroxyapatite powder was characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS). The results for eggshell revealed the presence of absorption bands of hydroxyl groups and carbonates and phases corresponding to calcium hydroxide and calcium oxide. The HA sample showed vibration bands of hydroxyl, carbonate and phosphate groups, and hydroxyapatite and calcium oxide phases. SEM analysis showed irregular morphological formations with dimensional variations. EDS revealed percentages of oxygen, phosphorus and calcium. According to the results, type B hydroxyapatite was obtained using eggshell waste, which also proved to be a good source of calcium in this study. |
