Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
In this study the authors measured the solubility of the carbonated hydroxyl apatite of sub-recent and fossil bones, as well as synthetic hydroxyl apatite in deionized water and in pH-buffered solutions. The solutions were open to the atmosphere and the pH values were around neutral; measurement conditions that are relevant to bone mineral preservation in nature. They obtained internally consistent results from both the water and the buffered experiments, and found that bone mineral is much more soluble than synthetic hydroxyl apatite. They measured the ionic activity products at `steady state' conditions and identified a recrystallization window between pH 7.6 and 8.1. They also found that bones that contained small amounts of calcite did not dissolve at all during our experiments. | ||||||
