Tricalcium phosphate, Ca2(P0 2> is formed under high temperatures and is unstable toward reaction with moisture below 100°C. The high temperature mineral whidockite [64418-26-4] although often described as P-tricalcium phosphate, is not pure. Whidockite contains small amounts of iron and magnesium. Commercial tricalcium phosphate prepared by the reaction of phosphoric acid and a hydrated lime slurry consists of amorphous or poody crystalline basic calcium phosphates close to the hydroxyapatite composition and has a Ca/P ratio of approximately 3 2. Because this mole ratio can vary widely (1.3—2.0), free lime, calcium hydroxide, and dicalcium phosphate may be present in variable proportion. The highly insoluble basic calcium phosphates precipitate as fine particles, mosdy less than a few micrometers in diameter. The surface area of precipitated hydroxyapatite is approximately... 

Condensed phosphates are derived by dehydration of acid orthophosphates. The resulting polymeric stmctures are based on a backbone of P—O—P linkages where PO tetrahedra are joined by shared oxygen atoms. The range of materials within this classification is extremely broad, extending from the simple diphosphate, also known as pyrophosphate, to indefinitely long-chain polyphosphates and ultraphosphates (see Table 1). Both weU-defined crystalline and amorphous materials occur among the condensed phosphates. 

Tricalcium Phosphate. Commercial tricalcium phosphate (TCP) is actually an amorphous basic calcium phosphate close to hydroxyapatite in composition. Because of its extremely low solubiUty in water, TCP is precipitated almost quantitatively from dilute phosphate solutions with a slurry of hydrated lime. TCP is separated by dmm-, spray-, or flash-drying the TCP slurry, with or without intermediate sedimentation or filtration steps. It is used as an industrial-grade flow conditioner and parting agent. 

The main interest in zirconium phosphates relates to their ion-exchange properties. If amorphous zirconium phosphate is equiUbrated with sodium hydroxide to pH 7, one hydrogen is displaced and ZrNaH(P0 2 3H20 [13933-56-7] is obtained. The spacing between the zirconium layers is increased from 0.76 to 1.18 nm, which allows this phosphate to exchange larger ions. 

Cobalt(II) phosphate octahydrate [10294-50-5], Co2(P0272 8H20, is a red to purple amorphous powder. The product is obtained by reaction of an alkaline phosphate and solutions of cobalt salts. The material is insoluble in water or alkaU, but dissolves in mineral acids. The phosphate is used in glazes, enamels, pigments (qv) and plastic resins, and in certain steel (qv) phosphating operations (see Enamels,PORCELAIN ORVITREOUS). 

An abrasive is usually chemically inert, neither interacting with other dentifrice ingredients nor dissolving in the paste or the mouth. Substances used as dentifrice abrasives include amorphous hydrated silica, dicalcium phosphate dihydrate [7789-77-7] anhydrous dicalcium phosphate [7757-93-9] insoluble sodium metaphosphate [10361-03-2], calcium pyrophosphate [35405-51-7], a-alumina trihydrate, and calcium carbonate [471-34-1]. These materials are usually synthesized to specifications for purity, particle size, and other characteristics naturally occurring minerals are used infrequently. Sodium bicarbonate [144-55-8] and sodium chloride [7647-14-5] have also been employed as dentifrice abrasives. 

The chemistry of the CAA oxide also differs from that of PAA. Although the upper portion is amorphous AI2O3, like that of PAA, indications are that the lower part is crystalline [68-70,73,80,81]. Also, in contrast to the phosphate incorporated in the PAA oxide, little chromate is incorporated in or on the CAA oxide [68,69,82]. In spite of this, hydration of the CAA oxide generally occurs at a slower rate than the PAA which may be due to the crystallinity or the greater thickness [83] but the evidence is not clear on this point. 

Phosphorus is the eleventh element in order of abundance in crustal rocks of the earth and it occurs there to the extent of 1120 ppm (cf. H 1520 ppm, Mn 1060 ppm). All its known terrestrial minerals are orthophosphates though the reduced phosphide mineral schrieber-site (Fe,Ni)3P occurs in most iron meteorites. Some 200 crystalline phosphate minerals have been described, but by far the major amount of P occurs in a single mineral family, the apatites, and these are the only ones of industrial importance, the others being rare curiosities. Apatites (p. 523) have the idealized general formula 3Ca3(P04)2.CaX2, that is Caio(P04)6X2, and common members are fluorapatite Ca5(P04)3p, chloroapatite Ca5(P04)3Cl, and hydroxyapatite Ca5(P04)3(0H). In addition, there are vast deposits of amorphous phosphate rock, phosphorite, which approximates in composition to fluoroapatite. " These deposits are widely... 

Bj Pivaloyloxymethyl D(—)-Ot-aminobenzylpenicillinate. hydrochloride To a solution of pivaloyloxymethyl D(—)-a-azidobenzylpenicillinate (prepared as described above) in ethyl acetate (75 ml) a 0.2 M phosphate buffer (pH 2.2) (75 ml) and 10% palladium on carbon catalyst (4 g) were added, and the mixture was shaken in a hydrogen atmosphere for 2 hours at room temperature. The catalyst was filtered off, washed with ethyl acetate (25 ml) and phosphate buffer (25 ml), and the phases of the filtrate were separated. The aqueous phase was washed with ether, neutralized (pH 6.5 to 7.0) with aqueoussodium bicarbonate, and extracted with ethyl acetate (2 X 75 ml). To the combined extracts, water (75 ml) was added, and the pH adjusted to 25 with 1 N hydrochloric acid. The aqueous layer was separated, the organic phase extracted with water (25 ml), and the combined extracts were washed with ether, and freeze-dried. The desired compound was obtained as a colorless, amorphous powder. 

When aluminium is immersed in water, the air-formed oxide film of amorphous 7-alumina initially thickens (at a faster rate than in air) and then an outer layer of crystalline hydrated alumina forms, which eventually tends to stifle the reaction In near-neutral air-saturated solutions, the corrosion of aluminium is generally inhibited by anions which are inhibitive for iron, e.g. chromate, benzoate, phosphate, acetate. Inhibition also occurs in solutions containing sulphate or nitrate ions, which are aggressive towards iron. Aggressive anions for aluminium include the halide ions F ,...
