Abstract
High-pressure and high-temperature experiments on Zn3 (PO4) 4H2O (Hopeite) and Zn/Ca phosphates have been carried out using the MAX 80 high pressure equipment. Fitting of Murnaghan's equation of state to the experimental data has been used to obtain the bulk modulus and its pressure derivative for Hopeite. Recrystallization of Zn/Ca phosphates at increasing temperature has been demonstrated.
