I am working on Hydroxyapatite bio-ceramic and is trying to derive it from bone bio-wastes and fish scales by thermal degradation process. It is advised to deproteinize the bones and scales by acid or alkali treatment prior to calcination. In this regard, I would like to know what chemical reaction exactly occurs between the acid or alkali which results in removal of the collagen protein from these organic matter. Thanks in advance.
