Abstract
The calcium phosphate which corresponds to the formula Ca-3(PO)(4). H2O (2 < n < 3) was isolated from solutions with Ca/P molar ratio 0.2 and pH 7. Th e compound was characterised by chemical and thermogravimetric analyses, Fo urier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. The FTI R spectra were compared with spectra of beta-tricalcium phosphate (beta-TCP ) in the atlases for analysis of urinary calculi and other literature data. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.
