简介:TheeffectofyttriaonthesolidreactionmechanismofaCaHPO4·2H2O+CaCO3systematdifferenttemperatureswasexperimentallystud-ied.Thesampleswithandwithoutyttriaweresubjectedtothermogravimetric/differentialscanningcalorimetrymeasurement.ThesampleswereheattreatedatthetemperaturescorrespondingtothepeaksontheDSCspectra,andtheresultedphasecompositionswereidentifiedbyX-raydiffraction.Thetransformationmechanismwasdeducedbycomparingthephasesobtainedatdifferenttemperatures.Theresultsshowthatthetransformationsatbelow1073Karenotaffectedbyyttria,butallthoseatabove1073Karecompletelyaltered.Theformationtem-peratureofhydroxyapatitedecreasesby134K,andthedecompositiontemperatureincreasesby38K.ThepolymorphoustransformationofCa3(PO4)2fromβphasetoαphaseincreasesby47K.Thethermodynamicpropertiesofthetransformationsatabove1073Karealsomodi-fiedbytheadditionofyttria;thatis,theendothermalpeaksaresubstitutedbyexothermalpeaks.
