Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
58 words
A process for preparing crystalline hydroxyapatite comprising contacting a source of calcium ions with about a stoichiometric amount of anhydrous trisodium phosphate in a combination solvent comprising from about 10 to about 75 weight percent of a polar, aprotic organic solvent and from about 25 to about 90 weight percent of water and thereafter recovering said crystalline hydroxyapatite.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
58 words
A process for preparing crystalline hydroxyapatite comprising contacting a source of calcium ions with about a stoichiometric amount of anhydrous trisodium phosphate in a combination solvent comprising from about 10 to about 75 weight percent of a polar, aprotic organic solvent and from about 25 to about 90 weight percent of water and thereafter recovering said crystalline hydroxyapatite.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
15 words
The process of claim 1 wherein said polar, aprotic, organic solvent consists essentially of formamide.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
16 words
The process of claim 2 wherein said source of calcium ions consists essentially of calcium chloride.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
23 words
The process of claim 3 wherein said combination solvent consists essentially of about 50 weight percent formamide and about 50 weight percent water.
