Scheme 1. Various Steps Involved in the Synthesis of HA Nanopowder.

Scheme 1

(1, 2) Mixing of CaO with dH2O molecules, (3) interaction of calcium with bonded water, which is then removed, leaving bare Ca ions, (4, 5) ionic reaction of Ca with PO4 and −OH ions, (6) addition of NH3, and (7, 8) calcination of the synthesized material.
