Facile preparation of hydroxyapatite with a three dimensional architecture and potential application in water treatment

Abstract

Hydroxyapatite with a flower-like three dimensional architecture was successfully prepared through a facile transformation process of hedgehog-like aragonite precursors. Based on the time-dependent experiments, a possible mechanism was proposed. In addition, the hydroxyapatite assemblies exhibit unique selective adsorption activity for heavy metals.
