Abstract
Limestone-hydrochloric acid method was successfully employed in the production of CaCh from waste shells. Effects of different reaction parameters including cockle shells particle size and concentration of reactants on the CaCh production yield was systematically investigated and optimum reaction condition was determined. The results indicate that CaCh production yield is inversely proportional with cockle shell particle size. Any increase in the concentration of biomass resulted in higher product yield where high concentration of acid had significant effect on the reaction rate. Humidity absorption capability of the synthesized CaCh as the eco-moisture absorbent was compared with the commercial one and nearly same hydration yield as 0.46 kgwater kg-1absorbant was detected.
