Effect of several calcination temperature on different concentration zinc substituted calcium phosphate ceramics
Mohamad Firdaus Abdul Wahid1, Mardziah, C.M2, Nik Roselina, N.R3, Koay, Mei Hyie4.
Zinc substituted calcium phosphate ceramics powders were produced from precipitation
method using calcium nitrate, zinc nitrate and ammonium dihydrogen phosphate
solutions. Several zinc ions concentrations (5, 10, and 15 mole %) were substituted into
calcium phosphate ceramics with the (Ca+Zn)/P initial ratio were set to 1.67. Calcium
phosphate powders were then calcined at 600, 700, 800, 900, and 1000°C to observe its
effect on the material phase behavior. By increasing the calcination temperature, XRD
peaks changed from broad to narrower shape indicating that the powders are highly
crystalline. Hydroxyapatite (HA) partly transformed to another phase which is tricalcium
phosphate (β-TCP) at 700°C confirming the formation of biphasic calcium phosphate
ceramics. FESEM observations clearly exhibit that the particles are in nanosized scale which
explains why as zinc concentration increases, the particles tend to be agglomerated.
