Abstract

An experimental study of the particulars of the solubility and crystallization of brushite Ca(HPO4) · 2H2O from aqueous solution in conditions of a variable pH (6.0–3.0) and the contents of impurity ions (K+, Na+, NH 4 + , Mg2+, SO 4 2− , CO 3 2− ) has been conducted. It is established that brushite solubility markedly rises with a decrease in pH from 6 to 3 and slightly rises with an increase in Mg2+ and SO 4 2− concentrations. The enrichment in K+, Na+, and NH 4 + does not affect brushite solubility. The changeable chemistry of the medium results in variation of the synthetic crystal habit, from rhombic tabular to thickened prismatic crystals.
