Nine kinds of spraying solutions with a Ca/P ratio of 1.67 were prepared by mixing calcium sources (Ca(NO3)2, CaCl2 and Ca(CH3COO)2) and phosphorus sources ((NH4)2HPO4, H3PO4 and PO(OCH3)3). Apatites powders were obtained by spray-pyrolysing the resulting solutions at 600°C; some properties of the obtained powders were examined. The stoichiometric hydroxyapatite (HAp) was obtained by spraying the solutions containing Ca(NO3)2-(NH4)2HPO4 and Ca(NO3)2-H3PO4 systems. As the solutions containing CaCl2 were sprayed, chloroapatite (CAp) and Ca2PO4Cl were formed; Ca2PO4Cl was changed into CAp during heating at 600°C. The carbonate-containing HAp was formed when the solutions containing Ca(CH3COO)2-(NH2)HPO4 and Ca(CH3COO)2-H3PO4 systems were sprayed. When PO(OCH3)3 was used as a phosphorus source, the Ca/P ratio of the apatites was below 1.67. The powder derived from Ca(CH3COO)2-(NH4)2HPO4 system showed the best sinterability among the powders examined; the relative density of the sintered body fired at 1150°C for 5h reached-96%.
