Investigating the catalytic properties of hydroxyapatite derived from mussel shells for the treatment of wastewater

The seafood processing industry in New Zealand and worldwide generates a large amount of shell waste and currently the shell waste under-utilized. The possibility of producing a useful product from this shell wastes will greatly enhance and ensure sustainable economic development as well as the asso...
