Research Abstract

Scallop shells are disposed more than 200,000 ton per year in Hokkaido. We proposed effective uses and simple application for discarded shells. A production technique for shell nanoparticles by planetary ball milling under dry conditions and subsequent addition of water has been developed. We investigated the effect of adding water after mechanical grinding on the specific surface area and particle size of the ground shell. The addition of water dissolves the ground shell particles, that leads to the ground shell in nanometer range. We have demonstrated the scallop shells had potential as an adsorbent for gaseous volatile organic compounds, emulsifying agent for nanoparticle-stabilized emulsion, and an additive of plywood adhesive.
