F-doped hydroxyapatite (FHAp, Ca10(PO4)6OH2-xF2x) was synthesized by two step technology – wet-chemical precipitation and pH-cycling. Obtained powders were dried and calcined for further characterization. FHAp were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and UV-VIS spectrophotometry. FT-IR analysis approved fluoride incorporation into HAp structure, confirmed by OH...F bonding at 3546 and 745 cm-1. SEM microphotographs showed, that as-synthesized FHAp precipitates consist of needle-like crystallites. UV-VIS spectroscopy results were used for the determination of actual F- substitution level. After evaluation of results it was concluded, that fluoride substitution level in FHAp structure reached only x≤0.6. To perform higher substitution level, the technological parameters of the process need to be optimized.

Fe-doped hydroxyapatite bio-ceramic material has been successfully synthesized by wet chemical precipitation method using waste egg shell as Ca precursor and (NH4)2HPO4 as P precursor. Two different concentrations of doping solutions (0.1 M and 0.05 M) were chosen and the developed apatite was characterized by using FT-IR, XRF, XRD and SEM techniques. Observed data were in excellent agreement with the standard values for hydroxyapatite which indicated successful formation of the Fe- doped apatite of different concentrations.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjsir.v47i1.10711Bangladesh J.

In this work calcium phosphates were synthesized by modified wet chemical precipitation route. Contrary to the conventional chemical precipitation route calcium hydroxide was homogenized with planetary mill. Milling calcium oxide and water in planetary ball mill as a first step of synthesis provides a highly dispersed calcium hydroxide suspension. The aim of this work was to study the influence of main processing parameters of wet chemical precipitation synthesis product and to control the morphology, phase and functional group composition and, consequently, thermal stability and microstructure of calcium phosphate bioceramics after thermal treatment. The results showed that it is possible to obtain calcium phosphates with different and reproducible phase compositions after thermal processing (hydroxyapatite [HAp], ?-tricalcium phosphate [?-TCP] and HAp/?-TCP) by modified wet-chemical precipitation route. The ?-TCP phase content in sintered bioceramics samples is found to be highly dependent on the changes in technological parameters and it can be controlled with ending pH, synthesis temperature and thermal treatment. Pure, crystalline and highly thermally stable (up to 1300?C) HAp bioceramics with homogenous grainy microstructure, grain size up to 200-250 nm and high open porosity can be successfully obtained by powder synthesized at elevated synthesis temperature of 70?C and stabilizing ending pH at 9. .

Fluoridated dentifrices are considered as an effective method for preventing dental caries. Nano-hydroxyapatite crystals which have remineralizing potential can be combined with herbs with antimicrobial activity and used as a dentifrice without any risks like cytotoxicity and adverse effects. Nano-hydroxyapatite crystals are formulated by wet chemical precipitation method and tested using X-ray diffractometer. An herbal dentifrice is formulated from extract of Salvadora persica to which Nano-hydroxyapatite crystals are added. A 3x3mm wide window has been created in 14 extracted first premolars which are then processed through a pH cycling for 7 days. The depth of the lesion is assessed using a confocal microscope. The difference in mean depth of the lesion between test dentifrice (Herbal dentifrice with Hydroxyapatite) (240.33.± 23.47) and fluoride dentifrice (272.75±29.38) was found to be statistically significant. Herbal dentifrice with Hydroxyapatite group mean depth of the lesion was 763.13+66.18 before and 240.33+23.48 after the remineralization cycle. In the Fluoride dentifrice group the mean depth of the lesion is 763.14±66.18 before and 272.55+29.38 after the pH cycle. Herbal dentifrice incorporated with hydroxyapatite had higher remineralizing potential compared to a fluoride dentifrice.

Within current research calcium phosphates were synthesized by wet chemical precipitation method in laboratory and pilot scale reactor. The aim of this work was to study the influence of main technological parameters of wet chemical precipitation synthesis and scale-up of laboratory synthesis. The results showed that it is possible to obtain calcium phosphates with different and reproducible phase compositions such as hydroxyapatite (HAp), β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) and biphasic calcium phosphates (HAp/β-TCP) in pilot scale reactor. Using the method developed it was possible to increase the product yield more than 30 times compared to formerly used laboratory scale method.

Zn or Mg ions doped hydroxyapatite (HA) particles were successfully developed by introducing various concentration of Zn or Mg in the starting solution using wet chemical precipitation method and followed a hydrothermal treatment. The products were identified as HA by XRD and FTIR, and the precipitated particles had a rod-like morphology. All the products for Mg and Zn ions concentration in the preparation solution less than 40 mol% were identified as HA. Substitution of Mg and Zn in HA crystal would impair the crystallization of HA and significantly reduce the length of a, c values of HA unit cell, which clearly demonstrated that Mg or Zn ions were structurally incorporated into the apatite crystals, they were not just absorbed on the surface of crystals.
