Preparationandcharacterization of Porous Hydroxyapatite From Fish Bone

Have been carried out making porous hydroxyapatite (HAp) with base material of fish bones waste, as porogen agent chitosan by themethod of calcination at a temperature of 1100 ° C for 5 hours. Thermogravimetric analysis performed by Simultaneous Thermal Analyzer (STA), the phase identification was done by X-Ray Diffractometer (XRD) and microstructure was analyzed by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). Thermogravimetric analysis showed the peak of weight loss at 365.6 ° C and after 500 ° C weight loss does not occur again. XRD pattern indicates the presence of hydroxyapatite phase on the raw fish bones and fish bones after calcined at 1100 °C for 5 hours. SEM results showed inter particle porous microstructure on raw fish bones and after calcining 1100 °C, 5 hours with a particle size of about 0.1 - 1.0 μm. After the addition of chitosan pores between the particles are formed more evenly and clearly
