Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a method in the technical field of biomedical materials, in particular to a process for preparing calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite on a large scale and a product thereof. Background Art
[0002] Hydroxyapatite (HA) is very similar to the inorganic composition of natural bone and is one of the main inorganic components of natural bone and teeth. However, the hydroxyapatite in natural bone is not in perfect stoichiometry, and it usually contains some defects, such as calcium defects or other ion substitutions, which affect its physical and chemical properties. Calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite (CDHA) is a variant of hydroxyapatite, a material with good bioactivity and osteoconductivity. It has less calcium content than hydroxyapatite with an ideal stoichiometric ratio. From the above perspective, CDHA may be closer to the inorganic composition of natural bone than hydroxyapatite with an ideal stoichiometric ratio in some aspects because it better simulates the actual situation of hydroxyapatite in natural bone, including its defective structure and ion substitution. In addition, CDHA has higher biodegradability, so it has more advantages in certain clinical application scenarios.
[0003] At present, the industrial preparation methods of hydroxyapatite mainly include hydrothermal synthesis, sol-gel method, solid phase reaction method, precipitation method, etc. Each method has its advantages and limitations. The selection of a suitable preparation method depends on the characteristics of the desired product, cost-effectiveness, and industrial production requirements. For example, the hydrothermal synthesis method can obtain high-purity hydroxyapatite, but the equipment cost is high; while the precipitation method is simple to operate and low in cost, but may require a subsequent heat treatment step to improve the crystallinity of the product. At the same time, it is limited by the solution concentration, the solid content in the solution is low, and the large-scale production water demand is large, involving subsequent water treatment issues. The industrial preparation method of CDHA is similar to the preparation method of hydroxyapatite (HA), but specific adjustments are made in the raw material ratio, reaction conditions or post-treatment steps to introduce calcium defects. Therefore, it is urgent to improve the production process to obtain a method for large-scale production of CDHA.
[0004] Based on the above background, the present invention provides a process for preparing calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite on a large scale, wherein raw materials of calcium hydrogen phosphate and calcium carbonate are calcined at high temperature by a solid phase reaction method, polyvinyl alcohol is added to prevent large-scale agglomeration of α-TCP after sintering, crystalline α-tricalcium phosphate (α-TCP) is prepared after rapid cooling, and then the α-TCP is phase-transformed in a weak alkaline solution to form calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite. The preparation process of the present invention is simple, easy to control, and suitable for expanded production. Summary of the invention
