Abstract:In this work, vanadate-fluorapatite, V2O5/Ca10(PO4)6F2, nanocrystals were successfully synthesized through a straightforward one-step co-precipitation method. This method was based on two toxic solid wastes, which are mainly generated as by-products during sulfuric acid manufacturing and in the phosphate industry. The two solid wastes were mainly based on phosphogypsum as a source of calcium and vanadium pentoxide as a source of vanadate. In comparison to numerous conventional methods for FAP synthesis, this i… Show more
