This research is to study the recycling of residue clams shell from Mahachai Samutsakorn Thailand. This waste was collected from canned clams industry and it can be recycled as the composition of Mon brick instead of the rice husk. The study of clams shell composition found that Calcium was main composition as 98.50%VS. The moisture and ash content was 0.88% and 58.27%TS respectively. The works methodology is using ash from clams shell incinerated at temperature 900 1000 1100 and 1200oC in 5 hours respectively instead of rice husk in Mon brick processing. The fabrication of Mon brick was in size 5x5x5 cm adding ash from clams shell intead of rice husk. The result found that increasing the temperature to incinerate clams shell ash instead density and compressive strength increased while moisture and water absorption deceased. When Mon brick was fabricated in standard size at 6x15x3.5 cm the changed material characteristics was in the same trend as previous size. Mon brick in standard size adding 100% clams shell ash instead of rice husk had density 2.63 g/cm3 moisture content was 2.86% water absorption at 1 and 24h was 17.40 and 20.16% respectively and compressive strength was 0.52 MPa. These characteristics was according to standard of Engineering Institute of Thailand. It can reduce the cost of rice husk in Mon brick factory 28800 bath/year while the waste from canned clams factory could be reduced 20.94%.

The purpose of this research was to study the temperature of burning surf clam shell for soil quality improvement. The experiment was divided two parts 1) the study of the optimum temperature for calcium oxide production by burning 800 900 1000 and 1100 °C 2) the study of using calcium oxide to improve soil qualities of acidic soil and saline soil. The parameters used in the analysis included elements of soil particles soil moisture pH conductivity total content nitrogen phosphorus and potassium. The results showed that the optimum temperature for the production of calcium oxide was 1100 °C since it provided the highest calcium oxide content of 90 % by weight. After applying calcium oxide into acidic soil the composition of soil particles was changed from sandy clay to sandy clay loam. In contrast the soil particle was not changed but the proportion was changed in saline soil. It was also found that calcium oxide reduced soil moisture and influenced the acidity of soil by increasing the pH from 3.39 to 6.92 in acidic soil and 6.49 to 9.11 in saline soil. In addition it was found that the electrical conductivity of the soil was related to salinity. In acidic soil the conductivity of before and after inputting calcium oxide were 0.87 and 1.24 dS/m respectively. In the case of saline soil the conductivity of before and after improvement were 14.37 and 18.80 dS/m respectively. Besides it was found that the total content of nitrogen phosphorus and potassium were reduced after the experiment.
