The formulation of drilling fluids with the desired characteristics required to achieve a successful drilling operation depends largely on the drilling additives. In this study, we investigated the potential of two agrowastes, wheat husks (WHs) and periwinkle shells (PSs) as additives in water‐based drilling fluids (WBFs).

POTENTIAL APPLICATION OF A LOCALLY SOURCED PHOTOCATALYST FOR THE PHOTOCATALYTIC DECOLOURISATION OF METHYL ORANGE IN AQUEOUS SOLUTION [PDF]
Periwinkle shell ash (PSA) was investigated for its photocatalytic properties in decolourising methyl orange in aqueous solution. The effects of irradiation time, initial dye concentration and PSA dosage on the decolourisation process were investigated ...

This study focuses on the synthesis of hydroxyapatite (HA, Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2) from calcium carbonate (CaCO3)-rich quail eggshells, oyster shells, and periwinkle snail shells (Filopaludina bengalensis) through the use of the wet precipitation method. The methodology involved calcining the shell waste to convert CaCO3 to calcium oxide (CaO), undergoing ...

REVIEW OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF PERIWINKLE/PALM KERNEL SHELL-REINFORCED EPOXY MATRIX HYBRID COMPOSITES FOR BRAKE PAD PRODUCTION [PDF]
Asbestos has traditionally been used in brake pad production due to its durability, but concerns over its health hazards, non-biodegradability, and high cost have prompted the search for safer alternatives.

Recently, the stabilization of clayey soil (CS) has drawn the attention of numerous researchers. In the past, Egg Shell Powder (ESP) and Periwinkle Shell Ash (PSA) were individually tested for their ability to stabilize clayey soil. The author has attempted to stabilize the clayey soil by combining the two of them.

Analysis of the Impact of Superplasticizer on the Compressive Strength of Periwinkle Shell Concrete
This research project investigates the compressive strength characteristics of superplasticized concrete incorporating periwinkle shell (PS) as partial replacements for granite coarse aggregate. The study aims to assess the influence of superplasticizer content and curing age on the compressive strength development of the novel concrete mixtures ...
