Abstract
In this study, the chemical composition of Mytilus galloprovincialis shells was examined. As known, the main component of shell composition in bivalves is calcium carbonate, which constitutes approximately 94% of the shell. The zero charge points (PZC) of the shells were determined in the study. The PZC value indicates the surface charge state of the shells. The PZC value of the shells was determined to be 8.39. The PZC value of the shells provides important information for the characterization and potential applications of the shells. SEM images and EDS analyzes of the shells were made. According to the EDS results, calcium, carbon, and oxygen atoms belonging to the main structure of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) appeared in the highest proportions. FT-IR analysis was supported to the calcium carbonate (CaCO3) structure. XRD analyses were performed within the scope of the study, and it was determined that the shell structures mainly consist of a mixture of calcium carbonate and aragonite. In conclusion, this study on the chemical composition of M. galloprovincialis shells provides a detailed analysis of shell composition. The analyses conducted provide important information about the chemical composition, structural properties, and potential applications of the shells. This study contributes to research on the biological and chemical properties of marine organisms and is considered to form the basis for future studies.
