Studies of fluorapatite: II. The solubility behavior.
The solubility product of fluorapatite has been determined by equilibrating a very pure mineral specimen in KCl solutions at ionic strengths up to 0.1. At pH's less than 5.0 to 6.0 the solubility product of fluorite, and not that of fluorapatite, is the governing principle under the experimental conditions used.
