Effect of particle sizes on the kinetics of demineralization of snail shell for chitin synthesis using acetic acid
This study considers the kinetics of snail shells demineralization process using acetic acid. It was washed, sundried then ground into four different particle sizes. The ranges of particle sizes are 6.3–4.75 mm, 4.75–2 mm, 2 - 1 mm, and 600 -300 μm. The shells were first deproteinized with sodium hy...
