In the current study, we have synthesized calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHAP) from different phosphorus sources namely, NH4H2PO4 and H3PO4. The structure of CaHAP was confirmed by XRD, FT-IR, and Raman characterization methods. The CaHAP was further modified with various anions such as WO42–, SO42–, and...
