S. Raicevic et al., THE EFFECT OF MORPHOLOGICAL-CHANGES ON THE COPRECIPITATION OF STRONTIUM BY CALCIUM-PHOSPHATE, Journal of radioanalytical and nuclear chemistry, 198(2), 1995, pp. 303-309
The coprecipitation of strontium by a calcium phosphate phase formed a
t an elevated pH 10.8 was investigated, The first phase obtained under
these conditions in the amorphous calcium phosphate(ACP) which is tra
nsformed into crystalline hydroxyapatite (HA) after the induction peri
od, Is has been shown that this transformation together with morpholog
ical changes of the precipitated solid phase, influences the amount of
the sorbed strontium significantly. the possible consequences of this
finding on practical application of coprecipitation of strontium by c
alcium phosphate have been discussed.
