3. Testing Processes

 Crushing of raw materials using mortar and pestle

 Extraction of NAOH from the Caustic Soda – Laboratory Procedures
 Extraction of powder of snail and fish scales using 10% of NAOH
 Testing at BFAR for the identification of Hydropaxite content and Calcium
Carbonate content of powdered snail shell
 Putting the extracted powder into the Oven to reduce moisture content
 Fineness Modulus of the Sample (Sieve Analysis) – DHVSU CE LAB
 Moisture Content Computation
 Identifying the Control Group and Experimental Group percentage
 Sand – Cement and Water Ratio
 7 Days Curing of Specimen
 14 Days Curing of Specimen
 28 Days Curing of Specimen
 Compressive Test
