Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of quickly preparing a large amount of octacalcium phosphate and octacalcium phosphate prepared thereby. A method of preparing octacalcium phosphate according to an embodiment of the present invention includes preparing a calcium phosphate solution, controlling an initial pH by controlling a pH of the calcium phosphate solution to a range from 5 to 6 using an acidic solution at a time point at which the pH of the calcium phosphate solution increases, heating the calcium phosphate solution to a temperature ranging from 60° C. to 90° C., and controlling a terminal pH by controlling the pH of the calcium phosphate solution to a range from 5 to 6 using a basic solution at a time point at which the pH of the heated calcium phosphate solution decreases.
Abstract: Systems, devices, and techniques for manufacturing a crystalline material (e.g., large crystal material) through the solid state conversion of a polycrystalline material are described. A device may be configured to concurrently heat a volume of ribbon, such as an alumina ribbon, using multiple heat sources. For example, a first heat source may heat a first volume of the ribbon and a second heat source may concurrently heat a second volume, for example, within the first volume, where the ribbon may comprise polycrystalline material. The concurrent heating may drive grain growth in the polycrystalline material in at least the second volume, which may convert the polycrystalline material to crystalline material having one or more grains that are larger than one or more grains of the polycrystalline material. The processed ribbon may include a large crystal material or a single crystal material.

Abstract: A method of providing highly reactive hydrated lime and the resultant lime hydrate where an initial lime feed comprising calcium and impurities is first ground to a particle-size distribution with relatively course particles. Smaller particles are then removed from this ground lime and the smaller particles are hydrated and flash dried to form a hydrated lime, which is then milled to a significantly smaller particle size than that of the relatively course particles.
