This research initiative focused on the sustainable synthesis of nano-hydroxyapatite particles derived from Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) bones, which are often discarded as seafood processing by-products. Utilizing ultrasound in conjunction with heat and acid treatment, the team successfully tailored particle sizes, achieving minimum diameters of 29 nm through specific conditions. A life cycle assessment indicated a 97% reduction in CO2 emissions compared to traditional methods, highlighting the potential for sustainable practices in marine by-product utilization.
