Abstract Aceh in Indonesia is rich in marine resources and abundant fishery products such as oyster. Traditionally, fishermen only harvest oysters and discard the shells, which can cause pollution and environmental contamination. Waste Oyster Shells (WOS) contain a high percentage of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) that experiences thermal decomposition at high temperature, following the reaction CaCO3 → CaO + CO2 (ΔT = 825°C). At temperature > 900°C, dead-burned lime is formed, which severely influences CaO reactivity. However, the optimum temperature for producing high CaO content is still uncertain. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the optimum calcination temperature to… More >
