Abstract
Tetracalcium phosphate (TTCP) is a calcium phosphate compound with considerable potential for medical applications. This study investigated the use of waste chicken eggshells from restaurants as a precursor for TTCP synthesis. The eggshells were subjected to heat treatment at various temperatures (200, 300, 400, 500, and 600 °C) and subsequently analyzed for their crystal structure and morphology. The findings indicated that eggshells heated at 200 °C were most suitable for this purpose, exhibiting a light brownish-white color and containing calcium carbonate (CaCO3) in the form of calcite. The CaCO3 derived from eggshells was then combined with dicalcium phosphate dihydrate (DCPD) to synthesize TTCP via a solid-state reaction method. This synthesized TTCP was compared with TTCP produced from commercially available CaCO3. The results from XRD and SEM analysis revealed that the synthesized TTCP from both sources possessed similar crystal structures and morphologies. This demonstrates that eggshells can serve as a viable alternative material for TTCP synthesis. The potential applications of this synthesized TTCP include the development of artificial bone structures and bone cement for medical use.
