Utilizing Eggshell Waste to Develop Composite Materials for Sustainable Water Purification
摘要
This chapter discusses the utilization of eggshell wasteEggshell waste for developing composite materials aimed at sustainable water purificationWater purification. The main focus is on the removal of methylene blue (MB), a synthetic dye commonly found in wastewater from the textile industry. Eggshells, as a calcium-rich natural material, are combined with titanium dioxideTitanium dioxide (TiO₂) (TiO₂) to create a composite that facilitates both adsorption and photocatalytic degradation processes. This chapter outlines the synthesis method, characterization techniques, and photocatalytic performance testing of the composite on MB-contaminated samples. This approach not only enhances water purificationWater purification efficiency but also contributes to environmental sustainabilityEnvironmental sustainability and waste reduction.
