Abstract

Ca-hydroxyapatite (HA) was synthesised from egg shell under different conditions and characterised by using AAS, FT-IR, XRD, SEM and EDS techniques. The results of these analyses combined together indicate that sintered HA sample1 resembles the feature of pure and single apatite phase having hexagonal structure. A Ca/P molar ratio of 1.69 was achieved in this case. On the other hand HA obtained from calcined egg shell is a combination of both amorphous and crystalline phase and revealed a sub-stoichiometric Ca-deficient apatite form with a Ca/P ratio of 1.50.
