Porous glass-ceramics are prepared by crystallization and subsequent acid leaching of the CaO-TiO2-P2O5 gels through a sol-gel route from Ca metal, Ti (tBu)4 and H3PO4. The crystallization process of the gels having the different starting compositions is investigated using X-ray diffraction. The compositions of 45CaO-25TiO2-30P2O5 (mol%) with excess P2O5 is found to be necessary to contain only CaTi4 (PO4)6 as a residual crystal phase.
