β¦ Synopsis
Samples of synthetic hydroxyapatite, Ca(10)(PO(4))(6)(OH)(2), obtained by wet method and calcined at 1173 K in air were used in an adsorption study of some essential amino acids, mainly histidine, methionine, and tryptophan. Adsorption isotherms were obtained using aqueous solutions of concentration range 2.7x10(-2)-1.3x10(-3) M at 303, 318, and 343 K, under near neutral conditions. The mode of adsorption was studied using IR spectroscopy. The results are discussed in terms of the dependence of the adsorption process both on the functional groups on the hydroxyapatite and on the solution chemistry of the aqueous amino acids solutions.

The adsorption of catalase on calcium hydroxyapatite is reported in this study. In all the solutions investigated, catalase adsorption takes place under conditions where the adsorbent and the adorbate are both negatively charged and is accompanied by the release of phosphate ions. This suggests that
