Dibasic calcium phosphate is produced by the neutralization ofàcalcium hydroxideàwithàphosphoric acid, which precipitates the dihydrate as a solid. At 60àÃÂðC the anhydrous form is precipitated
Features:
Dibasic calcium phosphate dihydrate is formed in "brushite" calcium phosphate cements (CPC's), which have medical applications. An example of the overall setting reaction in the formation of "ÃÂò-TCP/MCPM" (ÃÂò-tricalcium phosphate/monocalcium phosphate) calcium phosphate cements is:
