This study was designed to manage golden apple snail shells, the wastes created in large amount daily from the consumption of the meat of golden apple snail (Pomacea canaliculata) shells by transforming them to advanced compounds; calcium carbonate (CaCO3), monocalcium phosphate monohydrate [Ca(H2PO4)2·H2O], and tricalcium phosphate [Ca3(PO4)2]. They were successfully prepared by a rapid, simple, environmentally benign method using easily available and low-cost instrument. All synthesized samples were characterized by X-ray fluorescence, X-ray powder diffraction, FTIR spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy to confirm the identities with the standard materials. The reproducibility and low-cost method suggest that it could be used in industry for a large-scale production of calcium carbonate, monocalcium phosphate monohydrate and tricalcium phosphate from golden apple snail shells as a replacement of natural mineral resources and be a good way to manage these shell wastes.

The calcium carbonate was extracted from Pomacea Canaliculata Lamarck (Cherry shell) by using the hydrothermal method. Cherry shell was washed and crushed by DI water and mortar. The powder size was analyzed by particle (aperture Size 63 μm), added x HCl (x = 2, 3, 4) and y Na2CO3 (y = 1, 1.5, 2) mixed with fine powder from Cherry shell. The mixed power was filtered annealed by autoclave at controlled temperature at 333 K for 20 h. The crystal structure was characterized by X−ray diffraction method. The phase transformation of CaCO3 was analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The morphology of Cherry shell and CaCO3 powders were observed by using scanning electron microscope (SEM). It was found that the extracted CaCO3 shows single phase of CaCO3 crystal structure. Smallest crystallite size was found about of 0.54 μm.

If the tunnel drainage pipes are blocked, the supporting structures will be in danger because they would receive more force than before. In order to investigate the blocking problem, some laboratory tests and in situ experiments were carried out. Microtests showed that the main component of crystal is calcium carbonate. Calcium ions, carbonate ions, and bicarbonate ions of groundwater should be related to the crystal. The polyvinyl chloride pipe, hydrophobic antistatic self-cleaning coated pipe, silicone rubber coated pipe, pipe under electromagnetic field, polytetrafluoroethylene coated pipe, and polyethylene coated pipe were used in laboratory and field experiments. The laboratory results showed that the electromagnetic field may be the best method to prevent crystallization because the crystallizing weight was less than 0.1 g in 30 days. The field tests showed that there was less crystals on the inner surface of hydrophobic antistatic self-cleaning coated pipe than that of the polyvinyl chloride pipe and the polytetrafluoroethylene coated pipe. The crystallization prevention effects of the other experimental pipes need more studies to examine.

Adsorbent is one of the effective solutions to reduce the Hg metal content. The golden snail is a pest for agricultural and contains high of calcium carbonate. However, calcium carbonate can be used as an adsorbent. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of golden snail shell powder in absorbing Hg metal. This research is a quantitative study consisting of dependent variables and independent variables. The dependent variable involved a concentration of 10 ppm mercury, and 100 rpm stirring time speed while the independent variable included of variations in powder mass and stirring time. The mass of golden snail powder used those are 0 gr, 5 gr, 10 gr, 15 gr, and 20 gr with a variation of stirring time for 15 minutes and 30 minutes for each sample of Hg metals. Each Hg sample was used at a concentration of 10 ppm. The calculation results obtained that the effectiveness of golden snail shell powder in absorbing Hg 10 ppm was the mass of 20 grams of golden snail powder with a stirring time of 30 minutes that was equal to 99.87% with the result of a decrease in concentration of 10 ppm Hg to 0.01 Hg ppm.

Feasibility of starfish bone to be a source material for apatite bone substitute was investigated in the present study because starfish bone is known to be porous calcium carbonate. Starfish bone was assembly of Mg containing calcite granules. And the calcite granules had fully interconnected porous structure with approximately 20 µm of pore size. After the hydrothermal treatment of the calcite granules in Na2HPO4 aqueous solution, the granules were gradually transformed to apatite. Therefore, starfish derived calcium carbonate would be a candidate of a source material for carbonate apatite bone substitute.

Morphological control on hydroxyapatite (HAp) crystals is one of attractive researches to produce novel bioactive materials for repairing bone defects. Hydrothermal processing has been applied to fabricate well-grown crystals of HAp, through a reaction from appropriate calcium and phosphate sources. We recently found that oriented structure was observed when single crystal of calcium carbonate was used as a starting material for the hydrothermal processing. However, the detailed process on the orientation of HAp crystals has been not clarified yet. In the present study, we investigated the effects of the crystalline planes of calcite on HAp formation through the hydrothermal condition. Calcite single crystals with either of {100} or (111) plane was used as a starting material to examine the difference of the reactivity in a phosphate solution. After the hydrothermal treatment at 160 °C for 24 h, the surfaces and cross-sections of starting materials were characterized. Rod-shaped HAp crystals were oriented on the surface of the starting material with {100} plane, whereas small HAp crystals formed on the starting material with (111) plane followed by growth to same direction that were observed on the sample with the {100} plane. The difference in the morphology of the formed HAp was caused by the reactivity of each crystal plane.
