Abstract

Hydroxyapatite is extracted from porcine bones via thermal decomposition process and the effect of raw material particle size on extraction is investigated. Three particle size ranges were used namely, 300-500, 180-300, and 150-180 microns. FTIR analysis showed that calcination at 750^oC for 3 hours removed organic components from the porcine bones. XRD analysis confirmed that the resulting material after calcination was hydroxyapatite. Furthermore, comparison with standard JCPDS data showed that the ideal porcine bone particle size to use for hydroxyapatite extraction is in the range of 180-300 microns.
