I am producing HAP using waste material. I have controlled the initial ratio of Ca (0.1M) And P (0.06M). But the HAP produced has Ca/P ratio only 1.4. Why this happened?
Thank you for responding my question. I measured the ratio using EDX and I am using wet precipitation method to produce the HA. I also tried changing the initial ratio of Ca (0.1M) and P (0.056M). I kept the other parameters same with the previous experiment such as aging time and temperature. This time I got Ca/P ratio 1.66. Is it normal to obtain HA with lesser Ca/P ratio compare to initial ratio?
