In this study, the combustion synthesis of hydroxyapatite was studied and optimized under controlled experimental conditions. The hydroxyapatite content, crystallinity and crystallite size were monitored under changes in type of fuel, pH or red/ox ratio, muffle temperature, and reaction time. The products were characterized by X-ray diffraction, refinement of crystalline phases by the Rietveld method, scanning electron microscopy, and infrared spectroscopy with the Fourier transform. The decomposition of hydroxyapatite, which was the major phase, produced beta tricalcium phosphate in all samples, as indicated by their diffractograms. Infrared spectroscopy analysis revealed the presence of b-type carbonate groups in the structure; thus, the synthesized compound has the following chemical formula: Ca10-x (PO4)(6-x )(CO3)(x) (OH)(2-x), where 0 < x < 2, which corresponds to carbonated hydroxyapatite (CHAp). The combustion process was modeled using a first-degree polynomial, and we found that the interaction between time and temperature to be the most influential parameter. Optimization indicated that processing conditions at 650 degrees C for 30 min, using urea at pH = 2 and phi(e) = 1.134, produced the best result in terms of HAp composition, yielding 89.25% wt.
