“…Seashells have been historically used within concrete to make a specific type of building material called “Tabby.” The material was mainly used during the late 1800s in coastal areas. Tabby is made from equal parts of lime, water, sand, oyster shells, and ash . Seashells were also historically present in many of the sand sources used for Roman glassmaking, and were thus at least partly responsible for the CaO contents of the resulting glasses .…”

“…Tabby is made from equal parts of lime, water, sand, oyster shells, and ash. 54 Seashells were also historically present in many of the sand sources used for Roman glassmaking, and were thus at least partly responsible for the CaO contents of the resulting glasses. 55 More recently, given the fast growth of the mussel and other seashell farming industries around the world, and the subsequent increased amounts of seashell waste, there have been several studies into developing new applications for seashell wastes.…”

“…In this study, four by‐products from industrial processes were obtained and characterized in this research: biomass ash from a biomass power station; eggshell waste; seashell waste and RHA. As shown in literature for biomass ashes, eggshells, seashells and RHAs, the feedstock and subsequent treatment/s of these materials (eg combustion/heat treatment) can significantly impact on the chemical components that are available post‐process—that is, the source and process of the waste influences its' chemical composition. As noted earlier, this initial study aimed to investigate the potential of candidate raw materials for further development and it is recognized that further work would be required to establish consistency and suitability of any such materials before they could be commercialized as glassmaking raw materials.…”

For energy saving and CO2 emissions reduction, in addition to extending the range of suitable raw material sources for glass manufacture, compositional reformulation, and alternative raw materials have been studied in the context of industrial container and float‐type soda‐lime‐silica (SLS) glasses. Lithium, potassium, and boron were applied to modify benchmark glass compositions. Reformulation impacts on key glass properties including the viscosity‐temperature relationship, thermal expansion, liquidus temperature, forming behavior and color. Compared to the benchmark glass, representative of commercial SLS glasses, melting temperatures (taken as temperatures corresponding to log (viscosity/dPa·s) = 2) of reformulated glasses are reduced by 11°C‐55°C. Investigation of four industrial by‐products (seashell waste, eggshell waste, biomass ash, and rice husk ash), and their potential suitability as alternative glass batch raw materials, was also conducted. Seashell waste and biomass ash were successfully introduced into representative green glass formulations.

“…There are several types of waste seashell available, such as cockle shells, oyster shells, mussel shells, scallop shells. Every year about 10 million tons of shells are disposed of in landfills in China, which is the largest shellfish producer in the world [3]. In France 160,000 tons of seashells are produced by shellfish farming industry and about 45,000 tons of shellfish per year from fishing [4].…”

This paper studies the use of cockle shell as supplementary cementitious materials SCMs as substitute for cement. The cockle shells generally have a high CaO content which can alter the behavior and the properties of mortars and concrete. Cockle shell is used with weight ratios of 5, 10, 15 and 20% to formulate a mortar with cockle shell and a control mortar CM with 0% of cockle shell. The properties in the fresh state, the mechanical strength and the weight loss test as well as the depth of penetration of each mixture were carried out through the conducted experiments. Consistency and density of fresh mortars were determined, the results obtained showed that cockle shell have a significant influence on the properties of mortars in the fresh state. The different results of hardened mortars show that the introduction of cockle shell tends to accelerate the development kinetics of strength at the young age but its ratio cannot be above of 5%. Mortar with 10% presented the lower depth penetration, the loss weight increased proportionally with the increasing of cockle shell amount.

“…Nowadays, mussel shells are mainly destined to dumps, but they are as well used as soil amendment, in the manufacture of calcium carbonate or calcium oxide for biodiesel production and as aggregate in concrete, although only a small proportion of them is destined to these uses.…”

Industrial residues may be considered as an economic and environmentally friendly option for the manufacture of ceramic materials for civil and energy engineering. In this work, granite sludge, mussel shells and glass cullet were used to produce a ceramic material that presents high hardness (HV = 5.57 GPa) and fracture toughness values (KIC = 1.78 MPa·m1/2) as well as soft ferrimagnetic behavior. The presence of wollastonite confers characteristics typical of porcelain stoneware (σ = 64 N/mm2, WA = 0.361%) to the final products.
