Synthesis Of Carbonate-Substituted Hydroxyapatite By A Mechanical Activation Method

A mechanical activation method was used to produce a carbonate-substituted hydroxyapatite powder (CHAp) using CaHPO4.2H2O and CaCO3 as starting materials. The calcium-to-phosphorous molar (Ca/P) ratio of reactants was 1.67. Milling was performed in a sealed agate vials and balls with various paramet...
