Synthesis of hydroxyapatite from eggshell powders through ball milling and heat treatment

Every day, several million tons of eggshells are being generated as bio-waste across the world. This study demonstrates the synthesis of HA powder using dicalcium phosphate dehydrate (CaHPO4·2H2O, DCPD) and eggshell powders via ball milling and subsequent heat treatment. The formation of HA phase ca...
