The possible isomorphic substitution of Ca in hydroxyapatite with tetravaient elements with similar ionic radius was studied. To verify such a substitution, various mixtures of the phosphates of Ca and Th, obtained by coprecipitation, were heated to increasing temperatures. The results are summarized. The compounds CaTh(PO/sub 4/)/sub 2/, ThO/sub 2/, and ThP/sub 2/O/ sub 7/, were formed by solid state reactions in mixtures with ratios Ca/Th < 1, and CaTh(PO/sub 4/)/sub 2/ was formed in mixtures with ratios Ca/Th approx equal 1. In mixtures with ratios Ca/Th > 1, CaTh(PO/sub 4/)/sub 2/, ThO/sub 2/, calcium metaphosphate, and calcium polyphosphate are formed. In mixtures with high calcium phosphate excess BETA -Ca/sub 3/(PO/sub 4/)/sub 2/ is formed. The results showed that under the conditions given no substitution occurs. (J.S.R.)
