Abstract
Octa-calcium phosphate forms instead of apatite under a high partial pressure of CO2in solution almost neutral in pH, containing chloride ions or wholly lacking halogens. However, in solutions containing fluoride ions, apatite forms under the same conditions. Fluoride also increase the crystallinity of the formed apatite.Keywords
