Topotaxial replacement of chlorapatite by hydroxyapatite during hydrothermal ion exchange

K. Yanagisawa, J. C. Rendon-Angeles, N. Ishizawa, and S. Oishi

Kochi University, Research Laboratory of Hydrothermal Chemistry, Kochi, Japan

Exchange of Cl (super -) by OH (super -) in synthesized chlorapatite single crystals was investigated under hydrothermal conditions. Hydrothermal treatments were performed at various temperatures from 200 to 500 degrees C, for intervals between 3 and 96 h in KOH or NaOH solutions. Ion exchange of Cl (super -) in the chlorapatite crystals was completed at low temperature (500 degrees C) for a short time (12 h) in 6.25 M KOH solution, and resulted in the formation of hydroxyapatite. The rate of ion exchange was accelerated by increasing the reaction temperature and/or concentration of the alkaline solutions. That the converted crystals were single crystals of hydroxyapatite was confirmed by X-ray precession photographs. The hydroxyapatite single crystals that formed from the chlorapatite single crystals by the topotaxial ion exchange under alkaline hydrothermal conditions had a characteristic texture, exhibiting channels on the surfaces and tunnels inside, both along the c axis of the crystals. A dissolution and precipitation process is proposed for the ion-exchange reaction conducted under hydrothermal conditions.
