Preparation and characterization of natural hydroxyapatite from tilapia bones and scales for biomedical applications
Hydroxyapatite, HA (Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2) is well known as a calcium phosphate mineral phase which is widely used as an implant material. HA derived from natural sources have received considerable interest from researchers due to the presence of trace elements (CO32-, Na+ and Mg2+) beneficial for bone me...

Hydroxyapatite, HA (Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2) is well known as a calcium phosphate mineral phase which is widely used as an implant material. HA derived from natural sources have received considerable interest from researchers due to the presence of trace elements (CO32-, Na+ and Mg2+) beneficial for bone metabolism. Thus, in the present work, HA from Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) bones and scales were successfully extracted by calcination technique in neutral atmosphere. In order to produce HA with close composition to human bone, the calcination parameters such as temperatures, holding time and heating rate were manipulated. Results obtained indicated that treatment at 600 °C for 1 hour with 10 °C/min increments showed better characteristics for the desired HA as determined by Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM), X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR) analyses. The extracted HA contained nano-sized grains (72 nm and 65 nm) with high specific surface areas of 88 m2/g and 57 m2/g for the bones and scales, respectively.
