Composites tested: Plaster + hydroxyapatite (HA or duck bone) Plaster + hydroxyapatite + fibers
use two parts plaster to one part water
Natural porosity of plaster…
Experimental set-up for testing porous plaster filter
1% fibers 2% fibers
Mechanical strength of synthetic Ha
Mechanical strength of duck bone calcinated Ha
Tensile strength decreases when bone HA increases
Tensile strength decreases as porous bone HA increases
Plaster-HA composite retains zinc ions
Composite with more HA retains more zinc
Amount of zinc removed decreases with increase in flow rate
Composite material can retain heavy metals and avoid dispersion of fine metal phosphates
