Abstract

Heavy metals are one of the major contaminants in industrial wastewater. However, hydroxyapatite from biogenic wastes possesses the ability to chelate heavy metals in water. In this study, hydroxyapatite was produced from periwinkle shell (PSHAP) at different calcination temperatures 400, 500 and 600
