In addition, proper waste management will prevent environmental pollution and damage caused by waste accumulation. The chemical analysis of snail shell waste revealed a CaO content of 55%, while the CaO content in calcite was measured at 58%. Considering their similar chemical properties, different amounts of snail shell waste (%6, %9, %12) were added to the wall tile recipe instead of calcite. The addition of snail shell waste to the recipe resulted in an increase in sludge density and viscosity. Physical and mechanical tests were conducted on wall tiles made with the addition of snail shell waste and compared to standard wall tiles according to TSE EN ISO standards.

Typically, these Ca-Mg-Si bioceramics are synthesised using commercially available chemicals. In this study, we aimed to transform clinical dental mould waste (DMW) into an alternative calcium source used in synthesising akermanite ceramics. The DMW were initially refined involving alkaline roasting and caustic leaching, resulting in high purity Ca(OH)<sub>2</sub> powder. This Ca(OH)<sub>2</sub> powder was then mixed with MgO and SiO<sub>2</sub> in stoichiometric proportion and subsequently subjected to planetary ball milling, pressed into pellets and sintered at 1200–1250 °C, forming the desired akermanite ceramics. Two calcium sources were investigated: Ca(OH)<sub>2</sub> refined from DMW and chemically available CaO. Comparative analyses between Akr-Ca(OH)<sub>2</sub> and Akr-CaO confirmed that both types of akermanite ceramics exhibited akermanite as the major phase with a minor phase of diopside. Regardless of the calcium source used, the physical and mechanical properties of the akermanite produced improved with increasing sintering temperature. However, Akr-Ca(OH)<sub>2</sub> possess relatively lower mechanical properties than Akr-CaO. These intriguing findings underscored the potential for utilising calcium derived from DMW in producing akermanite ceramics with acceptable mechanical properties. Utilising this sustainable approach to create akermanite ceramics for bone substitutes may indirectly alleviate environmental pollution. This is because dental mould waste (DMW), which contains small amounts of chromium that can leach out and harm soil quality when discarded into landfills, is minimised. Furthermore, this innovative method shows potential for providing an affordable bone substitute option for patients in need.</p>","PeriodicalId":673,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Australian Ceramic Society","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141530871","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The ceramic hollow fiber (CHF) was first fabricated using phase inversion and sintering techniques. The effects of the bore fluid flow rate (6–10 ml·min<sup>− 1</sup>) and sintering temperature (1050–1150 °C) on the morphology and mechanical strength of the final CHF were systematically evaluated. A larger finger-like macrovoid structure was observed when a longer air gap distance was used. A higher sintering temperature enhances the mechanical properties of CHFs due to pore densification, but it also leads to a less porous CHF, which can affect their permeation flux. The relatively low sintering temperature needed for QD-based CHF (< 1150 °C) leads to a reduction in energy consumption, which is economically attractive for future commercialization. By controlling the ZIF-8 loading (0.4–1.6 wt%) in the coating solution, a uniform and well-coated ZIF-8 selective layer was coated to form a quarry dust ceramic hollow fiber membrane (QD-CHFM). A single gas permeation study was conducted at 2–6 bar, and it was observed that the permeability of gases was greater when the ZIF-8 loading was lower, particularly for CO<sub>2</sub> (1.19 × 10<sup>− 4</sup> cm<sup>3</sup>(STP)·cm·cm<sup>− 2</sup>·s<sup>− 1</sup>·cm<sup>− 1</sup>·Hg<sup>− 1</sup>). A further increase in the ZIF-8 concentration in the coating solution caused agglomeration, which simultaneously increased the path tortuosity.
