Water Purification Capsules: Exploring the Potential of Bıttım (Pistacia khinjuk Stocks) Shells

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: This study was conducted to investigate the water purification potential of capsules derived from Bıttım (Pistacia khinjuk Stocks) shells. Analysis of 35 elements was performed using Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS), and changes in element concentrations in water samples processed with Bıttım capsules were examined. The results indicate that Bıttım capsules have the ability to absorb heavy metals and other pollutants present in water. These findings support the evaluation of Bıttım capsules as an eco-friendly and effective water purification material. Our future research needs to examine the applicability and effectiveness of this method in water treatment systems in more detail.
