Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
91 words
A process for producing a calcium phosphate comprising the steps of (a) dissolving at least one first member selected from the group consisting of calcium hydroxide and calcium oxide in water with at least one second member selected from the group consisting of a sugar, a sugar alcohol, and a polyhydric alcohol, said at least one second member present in a total concentration effective to increase the solubility of the calcium hydroxide or calcium oxide in water; (b) and adding phosphoric acid to the solution obtained to precipitate a calcium phosphate.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
91 words
A process for producing a calcium phosphate comprising the steps of (a) dissolving at least one first member selected from the group consisting of calcium hydroxide and calcium oxide in water with at least one second member selected from the group consisting of a sugar, a sugar alcohol, and a polyhydric alcohol, said at least one second member present in a total concentration effective to increase the solubility of the calcium hydroxide or calcium oxide in water; (b) and adding phosphoric acid to the solution obtained to precipitate a calcium phosphate.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
