The present work reports the synthesis of bioactive calcium phosphate from cockle shell via the combination of calcination and hydrothermal process. The raw cockle shells were pre-treated with 30 % of hydrogen peroxide for 4 days to eliminate the impurities. Afterward, the dried cockle shells were c...
