The uptake of lithium ions by synthetic carbonated hydroxyapatite

I Mayer et al. Calcif Tissue Int. 1986 May.

Abstract

Carbonated hydroxyapatites in the presence of F- and Li+ were synthesized. Limited uptake (0.2-1.6 ppm) of Li+ by the apatites was observed, which was proportional to the initially added Li+ and the carbonate concentration of the samples. Fluoride has retarding effect on the Li+ uptake. Li+ causes a decrease in the solubility of carbonated hydroxyapatite.
