Removal of aqueous lead by fish-bone waste hydroxyapatite powder

Role of Phosphate in the Remediation and Reuse of Heavy Metal Polluted Wastes and Sites

“…Fish bones resulting from fishing waste have been studied as well as bone char and meat and bone meal calcination residues [29,30]. Fishbones, a natural apatite, was found to be comparable to hydroxyapatite on a Ca content basis for removal of various aqueous heavy metal ions [31][32][33][34]. It compares favorably to apatite ores because of its purity and lower substitution of undesirable metals.…”

Mass balance approach to estimating radionuclide loads and concentrations in edible fish tissues using stable analogues

“…In the case of P, which is known to become incorporated in the bone crystal in the form of phosphate, and Mn, an essential element in bone formation, again there is a relatively greater tendency for partitioning into hard tissues rather than soft tissues of fishes (Ozawa et al, 2003;Spiers, 1968;Tal and Guggenheim, 1965).…”

Hydrolysis of insoluble fish protein residue from whitemouth croaker (Micropogonias furnieri) by fungi

“…The most common use of the fish waste is to recover the components for animal feed, as silage fermentation, fish meal, and fish oil, etc. (Arvanitoyannis and Kassaveti 2008) as well as for the production of biodiesel/biogas (Lanari and Franci 1998); carotenoids extraction (Sachinda et al 2006); enzymes extraction (Tavares et al 1997); source of nitrogen for seaweed cultivation (Anderson et al 1999); collagen isolate (Nagai and Suzuki 2000); protein hydrolysate (Bhaskar et al 2008;Martins et al 2009); chrome immobilization (Ozawa et al 2003); lactic acid production (Gao et al 2006); carbon sources (Damasio et al 2011) and hydrolysis of collagen and keratin from bacterium (Martins et al 2011) and fungi which were the goals of this study. The proteins, peptides, and amino acids recovered could be used to increase the yield in the traditional processes of fish based protein concentration.…”
