Commercial grade calcium sulfate hemihydrate (CaSO4·0.5H2O, or plaster of paris, PoP) an economically feasible and abundant precursor has been used in (Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2, HAp) synthesis. The synthesis was realized by reacting solid PoP precursor with 1M of (NH4)2HPO4 aqueous solution, at ambient and mild hydrothermal conditions (2 ± 0.2 atm and 120 °C). The effect of reaction temperature and pressure on PoP to HAp conversion efficiencies and reaction kinetics has been reported. The formation of HAp at a reaction temperature lower than 50 °C occurs at very limited extend; at 25 °C HAp formation starts after 7 days. Extending the reaction time for low temperature reactions improves the HAp formation efficiency, meanwhile this also promotes precipitation of another calcium phosphate- CaHPO4 · 2H2O together with HAp. At a reaction temperature of 90 °C HAp formation completes in 6 hours. Hydrothermal reaction conditions on the other hand significantly enhances reaction kinetics, where the transformation to HAp starts in 15 min and finalizes only in 90 min. Hydrothermal reaction also hampers the formation of secondary phases, most likely originating from the impurities of low grade PoP precursor. The scanning electron microscopy analyses showed that HAp crystals are preferentially growing on the reactant PoP powders in a reticulated need-like morphology, suggesting a dissolution and reprecipitation mechanism for HAp formation. The findings showed that HAp synthesis can be accomplished by using a single and relatively cheap solid precursor under technological relevant hydrothermal conditions. Such synthesis routes can be practically expanded for making phase pure HAp powders in industrial scale

Direct hydrothermal synthesis of palladium-incorporated silicate-structured mesoporous catalysts Sener, Canan; Doğu, Timur; Dogu, Guelsen (2007-01-01) Pd-Si-structured novel mesoporous nanocomposite catalytic materials, having quite high Pd/Si ratios, were synthesized by an acidic direct hydrothermal synthesis route. The nanocomposite catalytic materials were then characterized by XRD, XPS, EDS, nitrogen adsorption, and SEM techniques. Unlike MCM-41, the XRD patterns indicated a rather wide d((100)) band at a 2 theta value of about 1.9. The materials, with very high Pd/Si wt ratios between 1.43 and 2.66, were synthesized and had BJH surface area values be...
Hydrothermal-like synthesis of hydroxyapatite from calcium sulfates Bingöl, Onur Rauf; Durucan, Caner; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2010) Synthesis of hydroxyapatite (Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2, HAp) from commercial grade plaster of paris (CaSO4•0.5H2O, PoP) and gypsum (CaSO4•2H2O) has been performed. HAp synthesis was achieved by reacting 1 M of (NH4)2HPO4 (or 0.5 M of (NH4)2HPO4) solutions with solid calcium sulfate precursors under ambient pressure (1 atm) and hydrothermal-like (2 ± 0.2 atm, 120 °C) conditions. Under ambient conditions, HAp formation kinetics was investigated at 25 °C, 50 °C and 90 °C using 1 M of (NH4)2HPO4 solution. Conversion to H...
Hydrothermal and microwave synthesis of boron phosphate, BPO(4) Baykal, Altan; Toprak, M; Kniep, R (2001-01-01) BPO4 was previously synthesized by the solid state reactions of (NH4)(2)HPO4 and B2O3 at 1000 degreesC and was characterized by X-ray powder diffraction and IR methods. We have now succeeded in preparing BPO4 from H3BO3 and P2O5 using hydrothermal synthesis by heating at 160 degreesC for 2 days and obtained a single phase product. We observed that a microwave-assisted synthesis takes only 3 to 5 minutes to transform a solid mixture of (NH4)(2)B4O7. 4H(2)O, and solid H3PO4 Or B2O3 + P2O5 into the crystalline...
Biomimetic preparation of HA precursors at 37 degrees C in urea- and enzyme urease-containing synthetic body fluids Bayraktar, D; Tas, AC (1999-12-01) An important inorganic phase of synthetic bone applications, calcium hydroxyapatite (HA, Ca-10(PO4)(6)(OH)(2)), was prepared as a single-phase and sub-micron bioceramic powder. Carbonated HA precursors were synthesized from calcium nitrate tetrahydrate and diammonium hydrogen phosphate salts dissolved in "synthetic body fluid" (SBF) solutions, containing urea (H2NCONH2) and enzyme urease, under the biomimetic conditions of 37 degrees C and pH 7.4, by using a novel chemical precipitation technique.
Fabrication and characterization of porous hydroxyapatite and biphasic calcium phosphate ceramic as bone substitutes Koc, N; Timucin, M; Korkusuz, Feza (2004-01-01) In the present study, the calcium phosphate powders (HAP, HAP-TCP) were produced by a precipitation technique involving the use of aqueous solutions of calcium nitrate and diammonium hydrogen phosphate. Preforms of calcium phosphate ceramics were produced by using a modified slip casting technique. Porosity in the cast and in the sintered ceramic was obtained through custom made PMMA beads similar to200-300 mum size. The green ceramic samples were prepared by suspending the apatite powder and PMMA beads in ...
