Chlorine substituted hydroxyapatite (HAP) and biphasic mixtures (HAP + β-TCP) were prepared through an aqueous precipitation method. Characterization studies using XRD, thermograms, elemental analysis and FT-IR spectra have confirmed the incorporation of added chlorine into the apatite structur...detailed
Magnetic chlorapatite nanoparticles (MNCLAP) was synthesized and used as adsorbent to remove Zn2+, Cd2+ and Pb2+ from aqueous solutions. The synthesized MNCLAP was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive analysis system of X-ray (EDAX), transmission electron micros...detailed
In this research, nanocrystalline chlorapatite particles were synthesized via an in situ wet-chemical precipitation method at room temperature, and then various heat-treatment temperatures were examined to consider the effect of the heat-treatment process on the structure and morphology of the s...detailed
The ultrasound-assisted conversion of chlorapatite nanoparticles obtained from a natural phosphate rock into hydroxyapatite nanocrystals was achieved within one hour. The process had no significant impact on particle crystallinity but led to a significant decrease of the colloidal size. Similar ...detailed
A mechanically activated solid-state displacement reaction has been investigated as a means of manufacturing apatite nanoparticles. Mechanical milling and subsequent heat treatment of a CaCl2, Na3PO4 and NaCl reactant mixture resulted in the formation of chlorapatite nanoparticles embedded withi...detailed
