Abstract: The cockleshell composition was investigated in this study as an alternate source of CaCO3. The ideal condition for calcination of cockle shells was studied under two parameters: particle size (granules and powder) and temperature (600, 675,700, 750, 800, 825, 900) ℃. Besides that, the chemical and physical characteristics of the raw and calcined samples were studied. The Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to analyze the presence of CaCO3 and CaO. The regression analysis on the percentage of mass loss after calcination and the percentage of CaO obtained showed that only the manipulation of temperature significantly affects the thermal decomposition process in getting optimum conditions for CaO.
