Abstract
In addition to using eggs as a food source, eggshells are also used in various applications in different fields. While eggshells are considered a byproduct of the food industry, they have been the subject of extensive research in recent years due to their unique properties and versatile use potential. This study aims to examine the various uses of eggshell and highlight its potential advantages. Eggshells have a structure consisting mainly of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) and organic substances. While this structure ensures the mechanical durability of the shells, it also allows properties such as porous structure and surface area to change. These properties make eggshells an ideal candidate for many applications. In this study, the areas where eggshell is used are examined. According to this, Its potential in areas such as agriculture, calcium supplementation in food, medical applications, ceramic raw material, adsorption applications, construction and nanocomposite applications is explained. The aim of this study is to evaluate the broad use potential of eggshells and their effects in different industrial sectors. Understanding the role of eggshells in various applications could be an important step towards sustainability, environmental protection, and industrial innovation. This initiative is intended to provide a perspective on the evaluation of eggshells and lay the foundation for future research.
