Abstract
The chemical structure of Ostrea edulis (O. edulis) shells was investigated in this work. The study determined zero charge points (PZC) of Ostrea edulis shells. The shell surface charge status is indicated by the PZC value. It was found that the shell PZC value was 8.30. The shells were subjected to Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDS) analyses and scanning electron microscope (SEM) pictures. The main structure of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is made up of carbon, oxygen, and calcium atoms, which were found in the largest quantities based on the EDS data. The structure of CaCO3 was supported by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) analysis. As part of the study, X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) investigations were conducted, and it was found that the shell structures are primarily composed of an aragonite and CaCO3 mixture. As is well known, CaCO3, which makes up roughly 94% of the shell, is the primary constituent of bivalves’ shells. This research offers a thorough examination of the chemical makeup of O. edulis shells. This study is thought to serve as the foundation for further research on the biological and chemical characteristics of marine species.
