Abstract
Living organisms in nature have undergone continuous evolution over billions of years, resulting in the formation of high-performance fracture-resistant biomineralized tissues such as bones and teeth to fulfill mechanical and biological functions, despite the fact that most inorganic biominerals that constitute biomineralized tissues are weak and brittle. During the long-period evolution process, nature has evolved a number of highly effective and smart strategies to design chemical compositions and structures of biomineralized tissues to enable superior properties and to adapt to surrounding environments. Most biomineralized tissues have hierarchically ordered structures consisting of very small building blocks on the nanometer scale (nanoparticles, nanofibers or nanoflakes) to reduce the inherent weaknesses and brittleness of corresponding inorganic biominerals, to prevent crack initiation and propagation, and to allow high defect tolerance. The bioinspired principles derived from biomineralized tissues are indispensable for designing and constructing high-performance biomimetic materials. In recent years, a large number of high-performance biomimetic materials have been prepared based on these bioinspired principles with a large volume of literature covering this topic. Therefore, a timely and comprehensive review on this hot topic is highly important and contributes to the future development of this rapidly evolving research field. This review article aims to be comprehensive, authoritative, and critical with wide general interest to the science community, summarizing recent advances in revealing the formation processes, composition, and structures of biomineralized tissues, providing in-depth insights into guidelines derived from biomineralized tissues for the design and construction of high-performance biomimetic materials, and discussing recent progress, current research trends, key problems, future main research directions and challenges, and future perspectives in this exciting and rapidly evolving research field.

Abstract
Bioactive ceramics, primarily consisting of bioactive glasses, glass-ceramics, calcium orthophosphate ceramics, calcium silicate ceramics and calcium carbonate ceramics, have received great attention in the past decades given their biocompatible nature and excellent bioactivity in stimulating cell proliferation, differentiation and tissue regeneration. Recent studies have tried to combine bioactive ceramics with bioactive ions, polymers, bioactive proteins and other chemicals to improve their mechanical and biological properties, thus rendering them more valid in tissue engineering scaffolds. This review presents the beneficial properties and potential applications of bioactive ceramic-based materials in dentistry, particularly in the repair and regeneration of dental hard tissue, pulp-dentin complex, periodontal tissue and bone tissue. Moreover, greater insights into the mechanisms of bioactive ceramics and the development of ceramic-based materials are provided.

Nanocrystalline and Amorphous Calcium Carbonate from Waste Seashells by Ball Milling Mechanochemistry Processes. CRYSTAL GROWTH & DESIGN 2024; 24:657-668. [PMID: 38250544 PMCID: PMC10797593 DOI: 10.1021/acs.cgd.3c01007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/22/2023] [Revised: 11/26/2023] [Accepted: 11/27/2023] [Indexed: 01/23/2024]
Abstract
Nanocrystalline calcium carbonate (CaCO3) and amorphous CaCO3 (ACC) are materials of increasing technological interest. Nowadays, they are mainly synthetically produced by wet reactions using CaCO3 reagents in the presence of stabilizers. However, it has recently been discovered that ACC can be produced by ball milling calcite. Calcite and/or aragonite are the mineral phases of mollusk shells, which are formed from ACC precursors. Here, we investigated the possibility to convert, on a potentially industrial scale, the biogenic CaCO3 (bCC) from waste mollusk seashells into nanocrystalline CaCO3 and ACC. Waste seashells from the aquaculture species, namely oysters (Crassostrea gigas, low-Mg calcite), scallops (Pecten jacobaeus, medium-Mg calcite), and clams (Chamelea gallina, aragonite) were used. The ball milling process was carried out by using different dispersing solvents and potential ACC stabilizers. Structural, morphological, and spectroscopic characterization techniques were used. The results showed that the mechanochemical process produced a reduction of the crystalline domain sizes and formation of ACC domains, which coexisted in microsized aggregates. Interestingly, bCC behaved differently from the geogenic CaCO3 (gCC), and upon long milling times (24 h), the ACC reconverted into crystalline phases. The aging in diverse environments of mechanochemically treated bCC produced a mixture of calcite and aragonite in a species-specific mass ratio, while the ACC from gCC converted only into calcite. In conclusion, this research showed that bCC can produce nanocrystalline CaCO3 and ACC composites or mixtures having species-specific features. These materials can enlarge the already wide fields of applications of CaCO3, which span from medical to material science.

Abstract
Spatiotemporal control over crystal nucleation and growth is of fundamental interest for understanding how organisms assemble high-performance biominerals, and holds relevance for manufacturing of functional materials. Many methods have been developed towards static or global control, however gaining simultaneously dynamic and local control over crystallization remains challenging. Here, we show spatiotemporal control over crystallization of retrograde (inverse) soluble compounds induced by locally heating water using near-infrared (NIR) laser light. We modulate the NIR light intensity to start, steer, and stop crystallization of calcium carbonate and laser-write with micrometer precision. Tailoring the crystallization conditions overcomes the inherently stochastic crystallization behavior and enables positioning single crystals of vaterite, calcite, and aragonite. We demonstrate straightforward extension of these principles toward other biorelevant compounds by patterning barium-, strontium-, and calcium carbonate, as well as strontium sulfate and calcium phosphate. Since many important compounds exhibit retrograde solubility behavior, NIR-induced heating may enable light-controlled crystallization with precise spatiotemporal control.

JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2023; 331:117256.

Abstract
A novel process that includes selective reduction roasting followed by hydrolysis was proposed in this work to recover zinc, and efficiently extract calcium and sulfur from hazardous zinc-rich gypsum residue (ZGR) waste for high-purity of CaCO3 and sulfur production. The selective reduction behaviors of ZGR during the reduction roasting were investigated in detail based on thermodynamic analysis and roasting experiments. The effect of roasting temperature, carbon dosage and time on the selective reduction of ZGR was comprehensively investigated, and the results indicated that ZnO and CaSO4 in the ZGR can be selectively reduced to Zn(g) and CaS, respectively. The volatile Zn(g) was oxidized to ZnO and enriched in the dust, which can be used as a secondary zinc resource. Moreover, the hydrolysis behaviors and leaching kinetic of CaS during hydrolysis were studied intensively. Results depicted that in the H2S-H2O system, the CaS in the roasted product can be selectively and efficiently dissolved into the leachate. Furthermore, the kinetic analysis revealed that the hydrolysis of CaS conformed to the internal diffusion reaction control model in the shrinking core model and the apparent activation energy Ea = -12.02 kJ/mol. The obtained hydrolysate with low impurities could be used to capture CO2 for the production of high-purity sulfur and CaCO3. Iron and other impurities in the roasted product were concentrated into the leaching slag in the form of metallic iron and akermanite. The whole process realized the recovery of zinc, and the selective and effective extraction of calcium and sulfur, which could provide an alternative process for the large-scale treatment of these hazardous wastes.

Abstract
![]()
It is the intention
of this study to elucidate the nested formation
of calcium carbonate polymorphs or polyamorphs in the different nanosized
compartments. With these observations, it can be concluded how the
bacteria can survive in a harsh environment with high calcium carbonate
supersaturation. The mechanisms of calcium carbonate precipitation
at the surface membrane and at the underlying cell wall membrane of
the thermophilic soil bacterium Geobacillus stearothermophilus DSM 13240 have been revealed by high-resolution transmission electron
microscopy and atomic force microscopy. In this Gram-positive bacterium,
nanopores in the surface layer (S-layer) and in the supporting cell
wall polymers are nucleation sites for metastable calcium carbonate
polymorphs and polyamorphs. In order to observe the different metastable
forms, various reaction times and a low reaction temperature (4 °C)
have been chosen. Calcium carbonate polymorphs nucleate in the confinement
of nanosized pores (⌀ 3–5 nm) of the S-layer. The hydrous
crystalline calcium carbonate (ikaite) is formed initially with [110]
as the favored growth direction. It transforms into the anhydrous
metastable vaterite by a solid-state transition. In a following reaction
step, calcite is precipitated, caused by dissolution of vaterite in
the aqueous solution. In the larger pores of the cell wall (⌀
20–50 nm), hydrated amorphous calcium carbonate is grown, which
transforms into metastable monohydrocalcite, aragonite, or calcite.
Due to the sequence of reaction steps via various metastable phases,
the bacteria gain time for chipping the partially mineralized S-layer,
and forming a fresh S-layer (characteristic growth time about 20 min).
Thus, the bacteria can survive in solutions with high calcium carbonate
supersaturation under the conditions of forced biomineralization.

Abstract
The mature skeletons of hard corals, termed stony or scleractinian corals, are made of aragonite (CaCO3). During their formation, particles attaching to the skeleton's growing surface are calcium carbonate, transiently amorphous. Here we show that amorphous particles are observed frequently and reproducibly just outside the skeleton, where a calicoblastic cell layer envelops and deposits the forming skeleton. The observation of particles in these locations, therefore, is consistent with nucleation and growth of particles in intracellular vesicles. The observed extraskeletal particles range in size between 0.2 and 1.0 μm and contain more of the amorphous precursor phases than the skeleton surface or bulk, where they gradually crystallize to aragonite. This observation was repeated in three diverse genera of corals, Acropora sp., Stylophora pistillata─differently sensitive to ocean acidification (OA)─and Turbinaria peltata, demonstrating that intracellular particles are a major source of material during the additive manufacturing of coral skeletons. Thus, particles are formed away from seawater, in a presumed intracellular calcifying fluid (ICF) in closed vesicles and not, as previously assumed, in the extracellular calcifying fluid (ECF), which, unlike ICF, is partly open to seawater. After particle attachment, the growing skeleton surface remains exposed to ECF, and, remarkably, its crystallization rate varies significantly across genera. The skeleton surface layers containing amorphous pixels vary in thickness across genera: ∼2.1 μm in Acropora, 1.1 μm in Stylophora, and 0.9 μm in Turbinaria. Thus, the slow-crystallizing Acropora skeleton surface remains amorphous and soluble longer, including overnight, when the pH in the ECF drops. Increased skeleton surface solubility is consistent with Acropora's vulnerability to OA, whereas the Stylophora skeleton surface layer crystallizes faster, consistent with Stylophora's resilience to OA. Turbinaria, whose response to OA has not yet been tested, is expected to be even more resilient than Stylophora, based on the present data.
