Reliable wet chemical methods of minor element analysis (F, C1, OH) and X-ray diffraction studies reveal that a coupled substitution of fluorine and carbonate is required in natural carbon-bearing apatites. Thus, CO z--F-replaces PO, 3-with tetravalent carbon substituting for pentavalent phosphorus

✦ Synopsis
Hydrothermal syntheses of chlor-hydroxyapatite have been carried out between 300 and 700 ~ C at a constant pressure of 1000 bar. The substitution of OH for C1 varies as a function of the amount of added CaCle, temperature, and ptt. In the main reaction the incorporation of C1 is negligible at 300 ~ C but increases to over 40 mole percent Cl-apatite at 700 ~ C. A simple X-ray method for determining the CI/CI~-OH ratio has been developed and this is also extended to fluorine-bearing chlor-hydroxyapatites. A number of natural chlor-fhiorhydroxyapatites are discussed in the light of the X-ray method and the result of the synthesis.
