Abstract:
Rietveld analysis of X-ray powder diffraction patterns recorded from 28 hydroxyapatite (HAp) samples containing various amounts of zinc (0, 1.6, 3.2 and 6.1wt.% Zn) and heat treated at various temperatures (between 500°C and 1100°C) has enabled the Zn insertion mechanism into the HAp crystal structure to be finely characterized. The formation of Zn-doped HAp was achieved above 900°C only. Zn-doped HAp has the Ca(10)Zn(x)(PO(4))(6)(OH)(2-2)(x)O(2)(x) (0

Temperature Dependence on Reaction Rate
Atoms, molecules, or ions must collide before they can react with each other. Atoms must be close together to form chemical bonds. This premise is the basis for a theory that explains many observations regarding chemical kinetics, including factors affecting reaction rates.
The collision theory is based on the postulates that (i) the reaction rate is proportional to the rate of reactant collisions, (ii) the reacting species collide in an orientation allowing contact between...
