Abstract

The solid solutions in the system of Pb and Sr hydroxyapatite, Sr 10− x Pb x HAp ( x = 0–10), were successfully synthesized by high-temperature mixing method (HTMM) at 160 °C for 12 h under hydrothermal conditions. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, chemical analysis and electron microscopic observation, and the site of the metal ions in the solid solutions was analyzed with the Rietveld method. The lattice constants, both a and c, of the solid solutions varied linearly with Pb content. It was found that Pb ions in the solid solutions preferentially occupied the M(2) site in the apatite structure. HTMM gives Sr–Pb HAp solid solutions much better crystallization. However, due to the formation of intermediate compound of Pb 3O 2(OH) 2 in the Pb(NO 3) 2·4H 2O solution before mixing with (NH 4) 2HPO 4 solution at 160 °C, HTMM causes the decrease of crystallization of the samples with high Pb content.
