Using humble waste eggshells to pull rare earth elements from water, researchers have developed a simple, low-cost and sustainable procedure to provide the essential materials needed for a ...

To create their ‘eggshell ACP,’ the researchers first heated eggshells at 1,652 °F (900 °C) for an hour to decompose the organic matter and transform calcium carbonate into calcium oxide.

To develop the material, the team mimicked the same balance of proteins and minerals as in real bone and eggshell, the proportions of which -- in bone, at least -- are roughly equal, according to Oyen ...
