| Abstract: | An improved process for the preparation of hydroxyapatite powder useful for bio-medical application which comprises: 1. Dispersing 1.0 to 1.5 mol calcium hydroxide in distilled water. 2. Stirring vigorously the resulting suspension and adding 0.6 to 0.9 mol ortho-phosphoric acid solution dropwise while maintaining the pH alkaline in the range of 10-11. 3. Maintaining the temperature in the range of 30oC to 80oC. 4. Allowing the gelatinous precipitate formed to age by keeping it for a period ranging from 20 to 30 hrs. 5. Separating the aged gelatinous precipitate and washing it with distilled water. 6. Drying the precipitate (residue/cake) at a temperature in the range of 650C to 75oC. 7. Calcining the dried powder at a temperature in the range of 750oC to 850oC for a period in the range of 2-4 hrs.
