By appropriate modifications of existing precipitation methods, a sample of calcium vanadate apatite, Cal0(VO4)e(OH)2 was prepared at 11 0 ° C. It was characterized through X-ray, electron microscopic, infrared and thermoanalytical analyses in addition to chemical analysis. Equilibrating the sample in buffered aqueous media at 37 ° C, the solubility was measured using microanalytical techniques of Ca 2+ and VO 3-present in the saturated solutions after separating the colloidal component of the solute. Duration of equilibration for the attainment of saturation of the solution of the sample was obtained from a study on its dissolution kinetics. The pK~p of calcium vanadate apatite was found to be 1 07.09. The investigation showed that pK~p was independent of the presence of the common ions.
