Abstract :
The aim of this study was to fabricate samples from waste chicken eggshells and then assess their basic dielectric properties for possible utilization in electronic industry. Waste items such as chicken eggshells and cassava effluent were processed into calcined chicken eggshell powder (CEP) and dry cassava starch (DCS) respectively. The CEP was carefully blended in the ratio of 2:1 (by weight) into a wetting medium prepared by heating and cooling 15 % (w/v) solution of the cassava. The homogeneous mixture of the materials was cast to diameter of (1.65 ± 0.01) cm, pressed, sintered, and then diced into disc-shaped samples each having thickness of 0.25 cm. Experiments were performed on the samples at certain frequencies (1 kHz, 10 kHz, and 100 kHz) over temperature ranging from 20 oC to 50 oC. The results showed decrease in capacitance from (10.11 ± 0.02) pF to (4.14 ± 0.02) pF. Similarly, relative permittivity of the samples decreased from 13.35 to 5.47, the values which fall within the range recommended for ceramic-based capacitors. The temperature coefficients of capacitance decreased with frequency from -1.33 %/oC to -1.76 %/oC. The used wastes showed promising potentials for utilization in manufacturing of cheap, sustainable, and eco-friendly energy storage device like capacitor. Embarking on such undertaking could help to solve the disposal problems associated with the wastes.
