Turn the eggshell into a ceramic

Statistics show that in the United States alone, up to 455,000 tons of waste eggshell need to be treated. To avoid waste, scientists at the University of Aveiro (Portugal) have developed the technology to turn the eggshell into a ceramic.

Although the details of this technology are kept secret, the original information shows that the eggshells are crushed like mud and go through 3 stages of processing that are sufficiently porous to absorb water.

Not only waste buried in the landfill but eggshell removal will bring very high calcium, then converted into calcite is very effective in the production of ceramics, saving the pre-treatment of the environment.

According to Gizmag magazine, the technology is being tested in the practice room of the University of Aveiro and researchers are looking for partners to produce on an industrial scale.

Indian scientists are also investigating the use of shell eggs as a carbon sequestrant to protect the environment.
