3P] or nonstoichiometric hydroxyapatite [DAp] powders in aqueous solutions of different F
- concentrations ([F
-] =19-9500 ppm) was investigated with respect to reaction changes of the solids and uptake of F
- by solid.
C
3P was more favorable for uptake of F
- than DAp. Among different fluorides, the uptake increased in order of LiF<NaF≈KF<<NH
4F at the same level of [F
-]. It was able to reduce [F
-] below 0.05ppm by controlling initial [F
-] and solid/solution ratio of the suspension. F
-ions acted as an inhibitor to the conversion of C
3P to apatite. The order of depressing the conversion was as NH
4F, KF, NaF, and LiF at the same [F
-]. When C
3P was heated in 0.05-0.1M [F

2 with poor crystallinity formed instead. CaF
2 could be detected electron-microscopically, even if X-ray diffraction method was not available for the detection. DAp in comparison with C
3P tended to produce CaF
2 even in low [F
-].
