Mineralization kinetics: a constant composition approach

M B Tomson et al. Science. .

Abstract

A new method is described for studying, reproducibly, the kinetics of crystallization of minerals under conditions of constant solution composition even at very low supersaturations. For calcium phosphates the method provides direct evidence for octacalcium phosphate as the precursor to hydroxyapatite precipitation at physiological pH.
