Cover Story: Egg white (EW) was chosen as a renewable, non-toxic, and potentially sustainable agent for the synthesis of FeMn2O4. However, phase-pure synthesis remains challenging due to (i) the requirement of low oxygen partial pressures, achievable by burning of EW during calcination, to counter rapid Mn3O4 reoxidation and (ii) probable formation of Fe3O4 and Mn3O4 during intermediate steps, leading to multiphase spinel formation caused by a miscibility gap between them. Contrary to widespread expectations, EW may have significant environmental impacts (EIs) in such syntheses, as revealed by life-cycle assessment, which can exceed those of a petroleum-based one. Thus, our results show that the investigated synthesis route is not necessarily more sustainable, and that implementing a quantitative evaluation of EIs at an early stage is essential.
