Influence of Metal Ions on the Crystal Growth of Calcium Phosphates

  • Chapter
Calcium Phosphates in Biological and Industrial Systems

Abstract

The development of living organisms and of mammals in particular, is closely related to the development of mineralization, i.e., to the mechanism of formation of hard tissue. The main inorganic chemical component of bone and teeth is calcium phosphate which is deposited through careful control by the development of a slight excess of the solubility product.1 In the natural environment, the precipitation of calcium phosphates is part of the mechanism for the control of phosphate accumulation in lakes and estuaries in which there is a continuous influx of phosphates due to irrigation runoff.2,3 Moreover, the removal of 85–90 % of the inorganic orthophosphates contained in wastewater may be achieved by precipitation of calcium phosphates by lime.4 In addition, the formation of tenacious scale deposits of calcium phosphates has also been reported in boilers and industrial installations using recycled, chemically treated water.5–7
