The eggshell is a type of bio-waste which is considered hazardous to the environment. In this research, the waste eggshell is utilized as a potential filler in cementitious material. This study has measured by zeta potential to analyze the interaction between the surface of the filler and the calcium ion in the solution. Meanwhile, the effect of eggshell powder on cement hydration process has been determined by isothermal calorimeter. The results show that the surface of eggshell powder have a strong adsorption of Ca2+, and addition of the eggshell powder provides a heterogeneous nucleation site for cement, which promotes the growth of hydration products.

In tropical regions, lateritic soil is frequently used in road embankment. However, it is one of the sources of road failure owing to its low strength. Generally, cement and lime are used as stabilizers for lateritic soil, but they are not environmentally friendly. Some studies try to use eggshells, for they are food waste and share the same chemical composition as lime. Previous researchs have shown that eggshell powder could enhance the strength of lateritic soil. This research investigated the effect of particle size of the eggshell powder and the effect of the protein-membrane presence in the eggshell on stabilizing capacity of soil. Through laboratory tests, unconfined compressive strength was examined for various particle sizes. The particle size of eggshell powder ranging between 150 ㎛ and 88 ㎛ was appropriate size that made an excellent stabilizer at 3% concentration. On the other hand, the protein-membrane reduced the stabilizing ability of the eggshell powder when the content of eggshell powder is less than 4% in soil. Numerical analysis of road embankment was performed based on the results obtained in the laboratory tests. It is shown that the eggshell powder has improved the stability of the sub-base of the road embankment.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the egg freshness and eggshell characteristics of old laying hens by adding sea urchin shell powder to the feed of such hens to achieve the objectives continuously pursued by environmental management, such as business profitability and waste resource utilization. A total of 90 Hy-Line Brown layers (66 weeks of age) were randomly divided into 2 treatments with 3 replicates, each of which consisted of 15 older layers, for 4 weeks. These treatments included a control (i.e., 0%) and 2% sea urchin shell powder. The 2% supplementation of sea urchin shell powder increased the Haugh unit (HU) at 2 and 4 weeks and eggshell strength at 4 wks compared to the controls (p<0.05). The HU at 0 weeks, eggshell thickness from 0 through 3 weeks, and eggshell strength at 0 and 2 weeks were not different between treatments (p>0.05). These results suggest that the addition of 2% sea urchin powder to the feed of laying hens improves egg freshness and eggshell strength in old laying hens.

본 연구는 오염토양 정화 및 폐자원의 재활용 측면에서 굴껍질 및 달걀껍질을 활용한 비소 오염토양 안정화 기술의 적용 가능성을 평가하고자 수행되었다. 안정화 효율을 평가하고자 5가비소로 오염된 토양에 굴껍질과 달걀껍질을 0%(무처리구)~5% 수준으로 처리한 후 30일간 항온배양 하였으며 이후 1 N HCl, 0.1 N NaOH, 0.5 N $H_2SO_4$의 추출제를 이용하여 토양 중 비소를 추출하였다. 1 N HCl 추출결과 무처리구의 비소 함량은 29.43 mg/kg였고 굴껍질 5% 및 달걀껍질 5% 처리구에서 각각 26.26 mg/kg와 26.74 mg/kg로 나타나 평균 10% 정도로 감소효과를 나타내었다. 이외 0.1 N NaOH 및 0.5 N $H_2SO_4$ 추출결과에서도 비소의 농도는 소폭 감소하였다. 한편 굴껍질 및 달걀껍질 처리 토양의 pH는 7.62~7.94로 무처리구 (pH 6.54)에 비해 pH 1 이상 증가하였고, 토양 내 치환성 칼슘의 함량은 12.77~20.18 cmol(+)/kg로 무처리구(6.87 cmol(+)/kg)보다 약 2배 이상 증가하는 것으로 나타나 굴껍질과 달걀껍질은 토양 비옥도 개선에 효과가있는 것으로 판단되었다. 이상의 결과를 종합해보면 굴껍질과 달걀껍질의 직접적 사용은 토양의 비옥도 향상에는 효과가 있는 것으로 판단되나 토양내 비소의 안정화에 적용하기에는 다소 부적합한 것으로 판단되며 향후 효율성 향상을 위하여 소성과 같은 적절한 가공 공정이 필요한 것으로 판단되었다.

The poultry industry faces disposal difficulty in waste, but recent advancements in material science and sustainability have enabled the innovative transformation of waste into valuable resources. In this study, eggshell (EC) was added as a bio-filler to gum Arabic (GA) to fabricate a GA-EC bio-composite film. Bio-composites containing 0.5 g (GA-EC_0.5) and 1.0 g (GA-EC_1.0) EC dispersed in 30 mL of 15% GA solution were fabricated and characterized using standard analytical techniques. The GA-EC_0.5 composites showed significantly higher moisture content, transparency, water solubility, and water vapor permeability but lower tensile strength and thermal stability than GA-EC_1.0. Following a post-harvest wrapping of tomato fruits with the GA-EC composite films and storage at 25±2℃ for 20 days, significant (p>0.05) reductions in weight loss, pH, lycopene content, and activities of polyphenol oxidase and pectin methylesterase compared to unwrapped fruits were recorded. Adding EC to GA has enabled the fabrication of composite films with improved mechanical, barrier, and thermal properties with potential application in the post-harvest storage of tomato fruits.

Eggshell is a waste material after the usage of egg. In this work, biowaste chicken eggshells were used for preparing carbonated hydroxyapatite (HA) nanoparticles of high purity through aqueous precipitation method at room temperature. The eggshell-derived HA will be a cost-effective bioceramics for biomedical applications and an effective material-recycling technology. Additionally, mulberry leaf extract was used as a template to regulate the morphology, size and crystallinity of HA, and the effects of pH value were also examined. Characterization of the samples was performed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to determine the size, shape and morphology of HA. The results indicate that only one phase of HA were synthesized in the both absence and presence of mulberry leaf extract at pH of 7 and above, while DCPD or DCPA/DCPD phase was observed at pH 4 condition. The crystallite sizes of the HA samples obviously decreased when adding mulberry leaf extract as a template, while they decreased gradually as the solution pH levels increased. With increasing pH level from 7 to 14, the rod-like HA nanoparticles gradually changed to spherical shape at pH 14. Note that, the obtained product is Mg and Sr containing A- and B-type carbonate HA at alkaline pH and it can be a potential material for biomedical applications.

본 시험은 남은 음식물을 산란계 사료에 1, 3, 5, 10 및 20% 첨가하여, 산란계의 사료 섭취량, 산란율 및 계란 품질에 미치는 영향을 구명하고자 실시하였다. 시험축은 50주령 산란계(White Leghorn종) 162수를 이용하였으며, 처리구는 남은 음식물을 0, 1, 3, 5, 10, 20% 첨가하여 4주간 급여하였다. 시험기간 중 사료 섭취량, 난중은 첨가수준별과 주령별 처리구 사이에 차이가 없었다(p>0.05). 그러나 산란율은 FW 20% 처리구에서 1, 2, 3 주째 산란율의 감소가 있었으나, 4주째 회복하였다(p<0.05). 난각 두께와 난황 계수는 전 처리구에서 차이가 없었으나(p>0.05), 난각 강도는 3주째와 4주째에 10% FW 처리구에서 각각 $4.13kg/cm^2$와 $4.04kg/cm^2$로 나타나 첨가 수준에 따른 차이가 있었다(p<0.05). 호우 유니트와 난황색은 20% FW 처리구에서 4주째에 각각 92.3과 9.4로 남은 음식물 사료의 첨가 수준에 따라 주령별 뚜렷한 차이를 보였다(p<0.05). 본 연구 결과 FW를 20% 이상 첨가시에 산란율이 감소했지만, 5% 첨가시에 산란율이 유지되었으며, 난질이 개선되어 남은 음식물 사료의 영양소 요구량 수준 개선으로 사료 자원으로서 가치가 증진될 것으로 사료된다.

Objectives: Socket grafting is vital to prevent bone resorption after tooth extraction. Several techniques to prevent resorption have been described, and various bone graft substitutes have been developed and used with varying success. We conducted this pilot study to evaluate the performance of nanohydroxyapatite (nHA) derived from chicken eggshells in socket preservation. Materials and Methods: This was a prospective, single center, outcome assessor-blinded evaluation of 23 sockets (11 patients) grafted with nHA and covered with platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) membrane as a barrier. Bone width and radiographic bone density were measured using digital radiographs at 1, 12, and 24 weeks post-procedure. Postoperative histomorphometric and micro-computed tomography (CT) evaluation were performed. The study protocol was approved by the Institutional Ethics Committee. Results: All patients had uneventful wound healing without graft material displacement or leaching despite partial exposure of the grafted socket. Tissue re-epithelialized with thick gingival biotype (>3 mm). Width of the bone was maintained and radiographic density increased significantly with a trabecular pattern (73.91% of sockets) within 12 weeks. Histomorphometric analysis showed 56.52% Grade 3 bone formation and micro-CT analysis revealed newly formed bone with interconnecting trabeculae. Conclusion: Use of a PRF membrane with nHA resulted in good bone regeneration in sockets. Use of a PRF membrane prevents periosteal-releasing incisions for primary closure, thereby facilitating the preservation of keratinized mucosa and gingival architecture. This technique, which uses eggshell-derived nHA and PRF membrane from the patient's own blood, is innovative and is free of disease transfer risks. nHA is a promising economic bone graft substitute for bone regeneration and reconstruction because of the abundant availability of eggshell waste as a raw material.
