Kitchen waste bone-driven enzyme-induced calcium phosphate precipitation under microgravity for space biocementation
This study validates the feasibility of extracting calcium and phosphorus from kitchen waste bones for crude enzyme-induced calcium phosphate precipitation (EICPP) under both normal and microgravity conditions. The experimental results demonstrate no significant differences in the degree of reaction and characteristics of precipitation between these environments. By leveraging local resources, reducing material transport costs, and addressing waste management challenges, this research underscores the potential for extraterrestrial construction, thereby enhancing sustainability in space environments. These findings offer promising insights for the application of space biocementation, particularly during the expansion phase of human settlements.
