Abstract
Nanocrystalline carbonated hydroxyapatite (CHA) shows significant promise for bone replacement within biomedical applications. This study aimed to synthesize nanocrystalline CHA using calcium resources from crab shell waste through a microwave-assisted hydrothermal technique. In this way, the crab shells were initially pulverized and calcined at 900° C for 5 h, yielding Ca(OH)₂ powder. This powder was then dissolved in a prepared hydrothermal solution of diammonium phosphate and subjected to microwave irradiation for 3 min at power levels of 80, 240, and 400 watt. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analyses confirmed the nanocrystalline CHA type B formed with a crystallinity index ranging from 79 % to 99.5 %. SEM images show the agglomerated morphology (0.5 μm-1 μm) of nanocrystalline CHA, with crystallite sizes ranging from 15 nm to 17 nm. Recycling calcium biogenic sources from crab shells as a powder feedstock using microwave-assisted synthesis is a rapid and environmentally friendly method for producing nanocrystalline CHA powder, which has potential applications in biomedical materials due to its high bioactivity and adsorption capacity.
