“…The main components of mollusc shells are similar to those of human bones, and thus shell waste can be used as a biological material 102‐104 . Yang et al 105 prepared a macroporous bone tissue scaffold using oyster shells (O‐HA) as the raw material with a biphasic structure of hydroxyapatite/β‐tricalcium phosphate.…”

Shellfish aquaculture has developed rapidly, and the annual production of shell waste by‐products exceeds 10 million tons. The reutilization of shell waste is a severe problem in terms of environmental protection and the development of the circular economy. Due to its limited economic value, shell waste has generally been discarded or sent to landfill without any further processing and reutilization, thereby wasting resources and severely degrading the coastal ecosystem. This review summarizes recent research into the reutilization of shell waste, including applications in the fields of agriculture, construction, environmental protection, chemical production, food additives and biomaterials. Problems and strategies related to the reutilization of shell waste are analysed in order to provide technical support for the large‐scale and high value‐added utilization of shell waste.

“…The global calcium citrate and calcium phosphate markets are anticipated to reach USD 900 million by 2025 ( Ahuja and Rawat, 2019 ). Commercial calcium supplements are commonly produced from dried shrimp, fish, oyster shells, coral, and algae ( Xu et al, 2020 ), the use of which might not be ecologically sustainable going forward. ES is an acceptable source of calcium supplement for animal feed and human health ( Schaafsma et al, 2000 ; Lewicka et al, 2020 ).…”

The eggshell (ES) provides protection against pathogenic and physical insults while supplying essential metabolic and nutritional needs for the growing avian embryo. It is constituted mainly of calcium carbonate arranged as calcite crystals. The global chicken egg production in 2018 was over 76.7 million metric tons. In industrialized countries, about 30% of eggs are processed at breaker plants that produce liquid egg products and large quantities of solid ES waste. ES waste is utilized for a variety of low-value applications, or alternatively is disposed in landfill with associated economic and environmental burdens. The number of patents pertaining to ES applications has increased dramatically in recent years; of 673 patents granted in the last century, 536 (80%) were published in the last two decades. This review provides a snapshot of the most recent patents published between 2015 and 2020, with emphasis on different biotechnological applications of ES waste, and summarizes applications for biomedical, chemical, engineering, and environmental technologies. Biomedical technologies include the production of calcium lactate, calcium phosphate, and health-promoting products, while chemical technologies include plant growth promoters, food processing and production, and biodiesel oil catalysis along with active calcium, carbon, soluble proteins, organic calcium, and ultrafine calcium carbonate sources. Engineering technologies address material engineering and nanoparticle production, while environmental technologies pertain to production of biomass, solubilization of sludge as well as production of magnetic ES adsorbents and adsorption of heavy metals, organics, total nitrogen and fluoride, soil pollutants, and radioactive compounds. Although the number of ES-based patents has exponentially increased in the last decade, exploration of innovative top-down approaches and ES development as a physical platform are new endeavors that are expected to further increase the upscaling of ES waste exploitation.

“…Calcium is an essential macronutrient in living organisms that plays an irreplaceable role in physiological and biochemical functions [ 1 , 2 ]. Calcium ions (Ca 2+ ) can maintain the biological potential on both sides of the cell membrane and normal nerve conduction function [ 3 , 4 ]. For dairy cows, a tremendous amount of calcium is required every day for daily milk production.…”

DNAzyme-Amplified Electrochemical Biosensor Coupled with pH Meter for Ca2+ Determination at Variable pH Environments

et al. 2021

For more than 50% of multiparous cows, it is difficult to adapt to the sudden increase in calcium demand for milk production, which is highly likely to cause hypocalcemia. An electrochemical biosensor is a portable and efficient method to sense Ca2+ concentrations, but biomaterial is easily affected by the pH of the analyte solution. Here, an electrochemical biosensor was fabricated using a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) and single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT), which amplified the impedance signal by changing the structure and length of the DNAzyme. Aiming at the interference of the pH, the electrochemical biosensor (GCE/SWNT/DNAzyme) was coupled with a pH meter to form an electrochemical device. It was used to collect data at different Ca2+ concentrations and pH values, and then was processed using different mathematical models, of which GPR showed higher detecting accuracy. After optimizing the detecting parameters, the electrochemical device could determine the Ca2+ concentration ranging from 5 μM to 25 mM, with a detection limit of 4.2 μM at pH values ranging from 4.0 to 7.5. Finally, the electrochemical device was used to determine the Ca2+ concentrations in different blood and milk samples, which can overcome the influence of the pH.
