“…For example, Aquamin, a typical calcium-rich supplement derived from the calcified skeletal remains of the red seaweed species Lithothamnion , has calcium concentrations of up to 31%/weight 36 . A previous study has indicated that concerning calcium sources for horses, marine algae is better than calcium carbonate supplements 37 . Calcium extracted from marine algae was also found to show a beneficial anabolic effect on bone skeletal calcification in animal models of osteoporosis 38 .…”

Calcium is an important mineral that plays an integral role in human health, especially bone health. Marine biological calcium is an abundant resource that is generally accepted and has a complex active structure. This review evaluates research progress on marine biological calcium with regards to its sources, use of calcium supplements, calcium bioavailability, and novel applications of marine calcium. The potential for future development and the use of products incorporating marine biological calcium in biomedical research and the pharmaceutical, health care, and food industries are also reviewed. The goal of this review is to provide a comprehensive documentation on resource utilization and product development from marine organisms.

“…Calcium carbonate is also the main component of the exoskeleton of marine and freshwater invertebrates [30], and there are prospects for using this material both as a bio-indifferent carrier of photocatalytic coatings and as an initial material at the photocatalyst synthesis [31]. Due to the low cost/high value, the calcium carbonate-based natural materials have already been actively applied in other areas of national economy as preparations for food products [32] or additives for animal feed [33]. At the same time, the calcium compounds are initial components for the synthesis of bismuth photocatalysts, such as solid solutions of calcium bismuthates of various stoichiometries [34][35][36], also offering prospects for using the exoskeleton of invertebrates in manufacturing eco-friendly bismuth photocatalysts.…”

This paper studies the composition and properties of shells of bivalve mollusks (Crenomytilus grayanus, Callista brevisiphonata, and Mizuhopecten yessoensis) from coastal discharges with a view to the possibility of their use in photocatalytic water treatment systems. The clam shells are considered in terms of application in the form of a powder material as a precursor for creating photocatalysts, and also as a carrier of photocatalytic coatings. It was shown that the main phase composing the shell material was calcium carbonate in two crystallographic modifications—calcite and aragonite. The presence of inorganic impurities in all studied clam shells did not exceed one mass percent. The main share was made up of elements included in the composition of calcium carbonate, which confirmed the high bio-indifference of the materials under study. Depending on the physiological and environmental features of the structure of clam shells, different contents of the organic component in their composition were observed. The granulometric characteristics of crushed clam shells (average diameter, specific surface area, and distribution modality) were studied. It was shown that the maximum values of bending strength of 5 MPa and compressive strength of 2 MPa are characterized by Mizuhopecten yessoensis shells with the lowest porosity of 2.91%. The features of sorption and photosorption processes of both whole and crushed shells in relation to four organic dyes at different temperatures and degrees of illumination were studied. Based on crushed shells of Mizuhopecten Yessoensis and titanium dioxide, functional materials (CaxTiyOz) were obtained, and their morphology and photocatalytic properties were studied. An example of the practical use of clam shells as a carrier of a photocatalytic coating is given.
