β¦ Synopsis
New experimental data about surface processes of interaction between natural apatite and phosphoric acid solutions were obtained by scanning electron microscopy, Auger electron spectroscopy, and IR reflection spectroscopy. The interaction was found to occur nonstoichiometrically (incongruently) on the very thin surface layer of apatite. The experimental data obtained were compared and extended with results taken from literature. The following sequence of ionic detachment from the surface of apatite to a solution was suggested: first fluorine for fluorapatite or hydroxyl for hydroxyapatite, next calcium, and afterward phosphate. A new chemical mechanism of apatite dissolution was proposed as a result. The mechanism for the first time described the surface irregularity of the dissolution process at the nanolevel. A comparison between this new dissolution mechanism and earlier mechanisms described in the literature was made.

## Abstract In this paper a mathematical model is used to predict the time behavior of porosity and permeability of a porous medium being dissolved by acid. Experimentally determined reaction kinetics and pore size distribution are used in the model. The acidizing process studied here is of importa
Hydroxyapatite (HA) is used as a biomaterial in orthopedic applications because it is similar in composition to bone mineral; however, carbonate apatite (CHA) is closer in chemical composition to bone mineral because bone mineral contains significant amounts of carbonate, yet there have been few rep
## Abstract Directional dissolution of a natural (OH,F,Cl)βbearing apatite has been studied at various solution pH values (0β3) and 30Β°C. This apatite showed abnormally high Oο£ΏH stretching frequencies due to the substitution of Cl for OH. The advance of dissolution front indicated that steadyβstate
This is a review of the surface chemistry of bone mineral and its synthetic counterpart hydroxyapatite. Small-angle x-ray scattering and low-temperature nitrogen adsorption measurements show bone mineral surfaces range from 100 to 200 m'/g. The heats of adsorption of small molecules on bone and apat
It is shown that surface reaction-controlled dissolution of crystals in a solvent or solution is very unlikely.
