Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a preparation method of spherical beta-tricalcium phosphate, belonging to the technical field of biomedical materials. Background Art

[0002] β-tricalcium phosphate, β-Ca3(PO4)2, abbreviated as β-TCP, is mainly composed of calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P), with a Ca / P ratio of 1.5. 10 (PO4)6(OH)2), therefore, β-tricalcium phosphate has high biocompatibility, bioactivity and biodegradability. A large number of literature and biological experiments show that when β-tricalcium phosphate is implanted in the body as a bone repair material, due to its high compatibility in the body, β-tricalcium phosphate produces calcium and phosphorus products during the degradation process, while participating in the metabolism in the body and promoting bone growth in the body. In addition, a large number of clinical experiments have shown that β-tricalcium phosphate has no local or systemic toxic side effects or rejection reactions in the body. Taking into account the excellent biological properties of β-tricalcium phosphate, it is also widely used in drug carriers, medical cosmetology and bone repair materials.

[0003] There are many methods for synthesizing β-tricalcium phosphate, mainly including solid phase reaction method, coprecipitation method, hydrothermal method, etc. The common solid phase reaction method uses CaHPO4 and CaCl2 powders to mix and ball mill, and then calcined at 900℃ for 2 hours to obtain β-tricalcium phosphate powder. Studies have found that amorphous calcium phosphate can be used to prepare β-tricalcium phosphate powder with high purity through low-temperature calcination, but this method has high process requirements, and the instability of amorphous calcium phosphate makes it difficult to control β-tricalcium phosphate during the crystallization process. Coprecipitation method is a common wet process with advantages such as simple operation and no special requirements for equipment. The β-tricalcium phosphate powder prepared by this method has uniform particles and regular morphology. The more common method is to mix Ca(NO3)2 and Na2HPO4 solutions and prepare β-tricalcium phosphate powder by adjusting the pH value of the mixed solution. The hydrothermal method for preparing β-tricalcium phosphate has the advantages of controllable morphology and uniform particle size, but it is difficult to produce on a large scale. Although researchers have prepared β-tricalcium phosphate powder by different methods, the prepared β-tricalcium phosphate powder still has problems such as low purity, difficult particle size control, and complex preparation process. Therefore, preparing high-purity, uniform-sized, and morphology-controllable β-tricalcium phosphate by simple process is of great significance for expanding the clinical application of β-tricalcium phosphate.

[0011] The calcination temperature in step (2) is 900-1000°C and the calcination time is 1-3h.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the preparation method of spherical β-tricalcium phosphate described in the present invention has the following advantages: 1.

Another 0.06 mol of phosphoric acid was dissolved in 300 mL of deionized water, 6% sodium lauryl sulfate, and 40% 2-methyl-1,3-propanediol aqueous solution, and stirred evenly. The phosphoric acid solution was dripped into the calcium carbonate solution at a speed of 2 ml / min using a peristaltic pump in an ultrasonic frequency of 40 kHz and an ultrasonic energy of 4423.68 J. The stirring speed was 300 rpm, and the pH value of the solution was adjusted to 8.5 using ammonia water. The ultrasonic time was 4 h. After the dropwise reaction was completed, stirring was continued for 4 h to fully mix the solution, and the solution was allowed to stand for 12 h.

[0027] Comparative Example 2 Weigh 5.04g NaHCO3 and 28.34g Ca(NO3)2·4H2O and dissolve them in 400ml deionized water respectively. Stir well to prepare 0.3 mol / L NaHCO3 solution and 0.3 mol / L Ca(NO3)2·4H2O solution. Add 10% sodium polystyrene sulfonate to the NaHCO3 solution and dissolve it evenly. At room temperature, slowly drop the prepared 0.3 mol / L NaHCO3 solution into the 0.3 mol / L Ca(NO3)2·4H2O solution. Stir at room temperature for 1.5h and stop the reaction. The product is obtained after filtration, washing and drying, which is a spherical CaCO3 template. Weigh 1g of the CaCO3 template prepared in the above experimental process, place it in 50ml of a dilute phosphoric acid solution with a concentration of 0.005 mol / L and place it in a hydrothermal reactor lined with polytetrafluoroethylene. After stirring, place the hydrothermal reactor in a 100°C forced air drying oven for 12 hours. After the reaction is completed, take out the product, let it cool naturally, then centrifuge, wash and dry it. After the dried powder is calcined at 900°C in a muffle furnace for 2.5 hours, spherical β-tricalcium phosphate is obtained with a purity of 92.54%.

[0028] Both the comparative example and the present invention select calcium carbonate and phosphoric acid as the main raw materials for preparing spherical β-tricalcium phosphate.

The results show that the spherical β-tricalcium phosphate prepared by the present invention has a more complete spherical structure and higher purity.
