In this video, we are going to be making some calcium acetate from eggshells. In the future i will make some from Tums, but the process is going to be a little different and there will be a bit more chemistry involved.
The calcium acetate that we make here is going to be used to make flammable jelly and acetone

If you dry them out and peel off the membrane from inside the eggshell, you can crush them into a fine powder and it should go much smoother. The bonus there is that you're getting rid of proteins and other contaminants in the membrane that can slip into the mixture.

I've done this same reaction, with egg shells and vinegar. After the egg shells are good and dry, I put them in a blender and pulverize them. This avoids the "floating eggshells" problem, because they are a powder. Also, there is more surface area available to the vinegar, so I think it speeds up the reaction?

Would heating the solution maybe help to speed up the reaction at the beginning? Also is it possible that the couldiness when boiling the filtered solution is due to the decomposition of calcium bicarbonate that formed because of all the CO2 and excess of calciumcarbonate? When you heat calciumbicarbonate in aqueous solution it turns into calciumcarbonate and drops out.

Nile, I have just completed a repeat of your Calcium Acetate experiment. With a couple little changes to the procedure, I ended with just a little over 205g of semi dry product. Thanks again for the pointers in the video. The net result came out very clean with no visible signs of contaminants. Now just to find a suitable wash before the final drying process. With the lessons learned and this video, I think I have a good shot at a reasonably pure CaCl2. Previous attempts have not yielded well as you know. Keep ya posted. Great Job~! Rob

I would not recommend burning off the egg shells. In my experiments, it seems as though the calcium absorbs the contaminants during the burn off. Those extra contaminants are difficult to eliminate from the final product and also contributes to a foul odor during the reaction phase. However, if you have a means to use very high heat it may work but you will end up with CaO instead. Consider the following: 1-In about a 500ml of distilled water, boil the shells in broken down quarters. Let stand (to settle) and remove/filter out the floating and foamy material and try not to decant the shells into the filter. Save the water and repeat using the reclaimed water. 2- Reduce the shell size by another 25% boil, filter, and again don't decant the shells. Save the water. 3-In a grinder/blender ( I used a magic bullet ) decant the shells and about a cup of the filtered water from above into the container. Blend until the shells are reduced to "sand" like size. This step eliminates liberated Ca dust from entering the breathing environment. 4- Decant the entire milky and sandy product back into the beaker (or pot). With strong stirring add 10ml of Vinegar one drop at a time (to control reaction foaming) this step is to capture the Ca “milky dust” that would have otherwise be lost during filtering. 5- Filter the water leaving (sandy) shells behind. Save the water, and allow the water to cool. 6- Now rinse the remaining Ca "sand" with clean water (tap, distilled or RO), decanting and discarding anything that does not sink to the bottom. Repeat until rinse is clear. Then drain off all the water possible. Add back your filtered cooled (room temp) water from step 5 to your beaker/pot. 7-Perform the final reaction. Note: Foaming can be somewhat controlled with strong stirring plate and/or by the addition of the acid in controlled drops. I have also tried a spritz of spray non-stick or a drop of veg oil with good results. I have had my best results keeping the reaction in a CO2 environment. WARNING (do not allow reaction to compress CO2 and pressurize). Just in my experience, I believe that during the reaction the foam is responding to the outside air thus exacerbating foam production. In the CO2 environment, I have seen no more than ½” of foam at max. I bubble my reaction into a separate beaker of water and sodium bicarbonate solution. It is also serves as a good indicator when the reaction is complete or having an uncontrolled over reaction.

Egg shells are quite good source of CaCO3, but you really need them to be as clean as possible. Wouldn't it be easier to use chalk? (are there scools in other countries that still use chalkboards? 'cause in my country they are pretty much prevaling and I really don't know whether it's true to other countries) And I'd really like to see the Iodine clock reaction and making pyridine. Thanks for the great work, Nile.

I really like these videos about extracting things from natural sources, like the caffeine from tea/coffee ones. Not sure why, they just appeal. Not much of a chemist, but would you perhaps not have had more success using a large flat tray, like a pyrex baking dish? Seems like this would have reduced the amount of stirring required, by increasing the surface area of the floaty layer of eggshells.

I don't know if there's an equivalent tool in chemistry, but would something like a French Press have helped with your floating eggshells issues? You could have put them in, pressed it down just far enough so they're all submerged, and then also pressed it down the whole way as your filtering step (or at least a precursor to it if the mesh doesn't do as good of a job as the filter paper). Or would the material of the screen have contaminated your reaction?

Hey I am a big fan of all your videos, and i wanted to do a couple of your experiments. including this one. i started to make the calcium acetate from eggshells, which was kind of a pain. i didnt really consider the tums bc they are expensive for what they are and honestly it sounds messy. I keep chickens though; and, i feed them oyster shell to give them their calcium. oyster shell is available in large bags for just a few of dollars at most feed stores. it seems to me that this would be an better starting material for making calcium acetate because it is easier than eggshells and purer and cheaper than tums. anyway, just a thought. let me know what you think and good look too with your work. its been a lot of fun to watch all of your videos.

You can also use it in hydroponic solutions as a calcium source. Or just as a fertilizer.

I wonder if you could have offset the bubbling a bit by putting the eggshells in a cloth teabag.

Wouldnt it be better to make the shells into a powder form first than add it into the vinegar?

I was a bit spooked when it precipitated out of solution, thought it was proteins from the egg coming out of solution and not the actual Calcium Acetate itself. Going to let my batch dry overnight. I'm planning to test the isolated stuff as part of a hydroponic fertilizer blend instead of just the ions in a solution.

Hey man, I like your videos keep up the great work! Maybe a weird question but do you know how I can crush apple seeds till it becomes powdery?

I'm assuming you want to extract cyanide compounds from them? First of all, there is very little cyanide in Apple seeds, and you would need a large amount to do any sort of valuable extraction. Also, the cyanide is tied up in cyanogenic glycosides, a pair of molecules which must react together to form the actual toxic compound (they are normally combined when you chew them up in your saliva), so I don't know whether they would still become active through powdering them. That being said, is dry the apple seeds on a cookie tray in the oven at a low temperature and then just use a coffee grinder :)

I'm wondering what those stirring rods are... do they turn on only with heat? How do they start turning?

+Oxen Eknat They dont need heat. There is just a spinning magnet in the hot plate. You can control heat and stirring separately

Cheapest source for Calcium carbonate seems to be "Garden Lime". You can buy it in a large 20kg bag. Garden lime is basically just slightly dirty Calcium Carbonate. Would definitely be cheaper than buying that many eggs, and definitely cheaper than buying the anti-reflux medds.

Probably, but if you're eating several eggs daily, it's easy to start saving them up in a container with vinegar over time
