Surface Area of Hydroxyapatite

Particle Characterization

Hydroxyapatite is a naturally occurring mineral form of calcium apatite with the chemical formula Ca5(PO4)3(OH). Hydroxyapatite’s unique properties make it useful in various fields and applications. It is the main mineral component of vertebrate bones and teeth and is also found in some other tissues like dentin and enamel. 

The surface area of hydroxyapatite can vary depending on factors such as particle size, morphology, and preparation methods. Generally, hydroxyapatite particles have a relatively high surface area, ranging from around 20 to 150 m2/g or even higher, depending on the synthesis method, due to their porous and crystalline structure. This surface area can significantly impact the material’s reactivity, adsorption capacity, and overall performance.
