Abstract
A synthetic fluorapatite was prepared that undergoes a phase transformation generated during a dialysis step. A surface layer with the composition Ca(9)(HPO(4))(2)(PO(4))(4)F(2) is formed, which is suggested to form as one calcium atom is replaced by two protons. A surface complexation model, based upon XPS measurements, potentiometric titration data, batch experiments, and zeta-potential measurements was presented, The CaOH and OPO(3)H(2) Sites were assumed to have similar protolytic properties as in a corresponding nonstoichiometric HAP (Ca(8.4)(HPO(4))(1.6)(PO(4))(4.4)(OH)(0.4)) system. Besides a determination of the solubility product of Ca(9)(HPO(4))(2)(PO(4))(4)F(2), two additional surface complexation reactions were introduced; one... (More)
