Solid-titration results for hydroxyapatite (HAp), octacalcium phosphate, β-tricalcium phosphate and tetracalcium phosphate have shown that the only stable phase in 100 mmol·l -1 KCl at 37°C is HAp. In particular, dicalcium phosphate dihydrate (DCPD) did not form at pH <4.2 (where it is otherwise believed to be stable) except as a metastable phase under conditions of slight supersaturation. The behaviour of DCPD itself under the same conditions requires checking. Solid titration was used to determine the apparent solubility of DCPD in a 100-mmol·l -1 KCl solution at 37.0 ± 0.1°C over the pH range 3.2-11.6. The constitution of the precipitate was determined by X-ray diffraction, particle morphology was observed by scanning and transmission el...
