Abstract
In this study, the removal efficiencies of heavy metals were evaluated using cockle, abalone, and scallop shells. Cockle, abalone, and scallop are composed mainly of aragonite, aragonite, and calcite, and calcite, respectively. The specific surface area of each shell varies from 2.7241 m2/g to 4.5481 m2/g and the order of that is scallop > abalone > cockle. All shells of cockle, abalone, and scallop had no As removal effect by adsorption and precipitation as pH increased. Pb was removed by all shell samples at initial reaction. Although the removal efficiency of Cd and Zn were depending on the reaction medium, that was increased in order of scallop > abalone > cockle. Heavy metal removal efficiency tends to be slightly higher for heated samples than with the raw materials, and higher as the specific surface area is larger.
