Research on calcium phosphates has attracted considerable attention
in recent years. Calcium phosphates are the major inorganic
constituents of biological hard tissues such as teeth and bones and
other pathological minerals. Calcium phosphates have been widely
produced in industry, in such forms as, ceramics, nutrient
supplements, medicines, dentifrices, and stabilizers for plastics.
They are utilized in solid state chemistry as fluorescent lamp
phosphors and play a role in waste water treatment processes.
Calcium phosphates are important in industrial water treatment (Le.
, boiler and cooling) where deposition of these salts on heat
exchanger surfaces can lead to loss of system efficiency,
overheating, unscheduled shutdown time, and ultimately heat
exchanger failures. Effective control of calcium phosphate deposits
continue to challenge the industrial scientist. Calcium phosphate
deposits have also been encountered during pasteurization of milk.
Calcium phosphates of interest include: dicalcium phosphate
dihydrate (DCPD, CaHP0-2H0), brushite; dicalcium phosphate
anhydrous (DCP, CaHP0), 4 2 4 monetite; octacalcium phosphate (OCP,
CasH2(P04)6-SH20); tricalcium phosphate (TCP, Ca3(P04h),
whitlockite; and hydroxyapatite (HAP, Cas(P04h0H). Other calcium
compounds of biological and industrial interest include: amorphous
calcium phosphate (ACP); fluorapatite (FAP, CaS(P04)~); calcium
pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD, CaP07-2H0); calcium fluoride; and
calcium phosphonates. 2 2 2 This book is intended to provide a
comprehensive discussion on calcium phosphates in the diverse areas
of their investigations.
