Abstract: | Bone mineral of human is different in composition from the stoichiometric hydroxyapatite (Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2) in that it contains additional ions, of which CO32− is the most abundant species. Carbonate-substituted hydroxyapatite (CHA) bodies were prepared by the hydrothermal treatment
of highly porous calcium carbonate (CaCO3) body at 120 °C in 1 M M2HPO4 and M3PO4 solutions (M = NH4 or K). It was found that CaCO3 body was almost transformed into CHA body after hydrothermal treatment for 24 h irrespective of type of phosphate solution.
However, a small amount of CaCO3 still remained after the treatment in K3PO4 for 48 h. Crystal shape of CHA bodies prepared in those solutions except for K2HPO4 was flake-like, which was different from that (stick-like) of original CaCO3 body used for the preparation of CHA body. CHA prepared in the K2HPO4 showed globule-like crystal. Average pore size and hole size of the CHA bodies were 150, 70 μm and their porosities were
about 89% irrespective of the solution. Carbonate content was slightly higher in the CHA bodies obtained from potassium phosphate
solutions than in those obtained from ammonium phosphate solutions. Mostly B-type CHA was obtained after the hydrothermal
treatment in the potassium phosphate solutions. On the other hand, mixed A- and B-type CHA (ca. 1–2 in molar ratio) was obtained
in the ammonium phosphate solutions. The content of CO32− in the CHA body depended on the type of phosphate solution and was slightly larger in the potassium phosphate solutions. |
