HCl and CO2 are active participant molecules in the re-modeling phase of bone materials of vertebrates, wherein old bone is dissolved (resorbed) by osteoclast cells (HCl acid and collagenase secreting cells) and new bone becomes deposited (mineralized) by osteoblast cells. The mineralization process results in the deposition of mature (i.e., non-carbonated) or immature (i.e., partially carbonated) hydroxyapatite (HAP), which may involve CO2-carbonation, depending on the function of the perceived bone (e.g., non-dissolvable tooth enamel bone or dissolvable skeletal bone). The present investigation adopted a surface chemical approach to examine impacts of interfacial interactions of wet HCl vapor (at 673 K) and CO2 gas molecules (at 298 K) on the chemical compo-sition and particle morphology of synthetic and biological apatite (AP) materials of varied contents of mature HAP. Studies employing X-ray powder diffractometry, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning elec-tron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray micro-probing were carried out. Accordingly, high relative crys-tallinity, extent of hydro-xylation and Ca/P atomic ratio were found to discern synthetic from biological APs. Furthermore, results obtained helped revealing that (i) compositional (atomic ratios, and extents of hydro-xylation and carbonation) and morphological (particle shape and agglomeration) parameters are more diag-nostic to the HAP maturity than the geometric structural (crystallization and crystallinity) parameters, (ii) the higher the maturity of the contained HAP, the higher is the resistance of chemical integrity and morphology of the AP material particles to the HCl-acidification, and (iii) a preceding CO2-carbonation lessens HAP-maturity of the AP materials thus rendering them more vulnerable to retrogressive chemical and morphological con-sequences of the acidification.
