Abstract
Hydroxyapatite suitable for incorporation as a synthetic bone ash in a "bone" china body is produced by continuously contacting a stream of a slurry of hydrated lime with a stream of at least about 60% by weight phosphoric acid at an approximately stoichiometric ratio of 10 Ca(OH).sub.2 to 6 H.sub.3 PO.sub.4 and a temperature of from about 80.degree. to about 85.degree. C. at a controlled reaction mixture of pH of from about 9.0 to about 11.0 and then calcining at a temperature of at least 1,000.degree. C.
