Abstract

This study focuses on the synthesis and characterization of hydroxyapatite
which can be used in the biomedical field. The bio-ceramic
(hydroxyapatite) was extracted from animal bone after being degreased,
cleaned and ground into fine particles of micrometric sizes, the powder
obtained was calcined at 650℃ in an oven. The thermal decomposition
technique is chosen for the extraction of hydroxyapatite bio-ceramic
because it has a high economic efficiency, moreover it is less complex, in
comparison with other synthetic methods. The synthesized hydroxyapatite
was characterized physico-chemically and mechanically using Fourier
transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray fluorescence (XRF),
scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and a test machine of Vickers
hardness for hardness measurement. The results obtained showed that
hydroxyapatite can be economically extracted from a natural source and
can be used as a promising biomaterial in the biomedical field.
