Original article

Abstract: Calcium phosphate composite powders consisting of brushite and calcite were obtained in an aqueous medium from a CaCO3/Ca(H2PO4)2 suspension at Ca/P ratios of 1,33, 1,50, 1,67, pH 5–7, and maturation time of 21-50 days. Prolonged maturation (up to 68 days) of composite calcium phosphate powders led to a hydrolytic transition of brushite to octacalcium phosphate, the amount of which increased with increasing duration of the maturation stage. Drying calcium phosphate powders at 37°C for 24 h contributed to the partially transition of the metastable phase of octacalcium phosphate to apatite represented by amorphous calcium phosphate. The presence of vibrations of О–Н at 633 cm-1 as the shoulder on the IR spectra indicates the presence of apatite in calcium phosphate powders. The use of an electric current (20 mA/cm2, 3–20 min) for a local increase of the pH value made it possible to increase the amount of octacalcium phosphate in the composition of the composite powder, which has a characteristic rosette morphology of thin lamellar crystallites.

Keywords: octacalcium phosphate, calcite, monocalcium phosphate monohydrate, brushite, apatite, hydrolytic maturation
