Environmental chlorapatites, of the form A10(BxC1−xO4)6Cl2, where A=Ca, Cd, or Pb; B/C=P, V, or Cr and 0≤x≤1, were synthesized by solid-state reactions. Crystal structure variations, primarily lattice parameters, were examined through powder X-ray diffraction methods, while performance and long-term...
