Development of a CaCO3 Precipitation Method Using a Peptide and Microwaves Generated by a Magnetron
August 23, 2024
Microwave applications, such as microwave ovens and mobile phones, are ubiquitous and indispensable in modern society. As the utilization of microwave technology is becoming more widespread, the effects of microwaves on living organisms and physiological processes have received increased attention. This study aimed to investigate the effects of microwaves on calcium carbonate biomineralization as a model biochemical process. A magnetron oscillator was used to generate 2450 MHz microwaves because magnetrons are relatively inexpensive and widespread. We conducted transmission electron microscopy (TEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), TEM-electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS), dynamic light scattering (DLS), and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) measurements to analyze the calcium carbonate precipitates. Our findings showed the formation of string-like precipitates of calcium carbonate upon microwave irradiation from one direction, similar to those obtained using a semiconductor oscillator, as reported previously. This implied that the distribution of the frequency had little effect on the morphology. Furthermore, spherical precipitates were obtained upon microwave irradiation from two directions, indicating that the morphology could be controlled by varying the direction of microwave irradiation. Magnetrons are versatile and also used in large-scale production; thus, this method has potential in medical and industrial applications.
