pH in the preparation conditions were studied from the yields of calcium
phosphate and unreacted carbonate, and the Ca/P ratios in precipitates. The
yield of calcium phosphate and carbonate was low in the preparation condition
with 0.1 mol/l of phosphoric acid. The obtained precipitates were the mixture
of calcium hydrogen phosphate dihydrate and the unreacted calcium carbonate.
The reactivity of the oyster shells with phosphoric acid was discussed from the

and marine product manufacturers around the city of Gangneung and most of them
are dumped into landfill. The scallop shell was recycled as an adsorbent for
the removal of phosphate. The shell size greatly affected phosphate removal.
One gram of shell having diameter of around 45 ìm removed 100 mg/L of
phosphate in 3 h while that of 3 mm hardly removed in 80 h.
Phosphate removal was not much affected by the pH in the range of 2.0–7.5
but it was scarcely removed beyond pH 8.0. Higher temperature was preferred for
phosphate removal but the removal efficiency was almost constant over
35 °C. The maximum phosphate removal capacity was obtained through
Langmuir isotherm plotting and it was as high as 23.0 mg-phosphate/g-shell.
On the purpose of enhancing the adsorption capacity of scallop shell, it was
treated with chemical reagents such as HCl, NaOH, NH</span><sub><span

HCl-treatment increased the adsorption capacity of the shell having diameter of
45 ìm by 39.8% than raw scallop shell, but the treatment showed negligible
effect on the shell of 1000 ìm in diameter. Packed-bed containing
HCl-treated scallop shell with 500 ìm in diameter removed 20 mg/L of
phosphate stably for 15 days and the removal efficiency was over 85% throughout
operation.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
