:Fluorapatite, (Ca5F(PO4)3)
Description:
Fluorapatite, with the chemical formula Ca5F(PO4)3, is a naturally occurring mineral and a member of the apatite group. It is characterized by its hexagonal crystal system and typically forms in a variety of geological environments, including igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks. The mineral is notable for its high fluoride content, which replaces hydroxyl groups in hydroxyapatite, enhancing its stability and solubility in acidic conditions. Fluorapatite is commonly found in biological systems, particularly in dental enamel and bone, where it contributes to the structural integrity and resistance to decay. Its hardness on the Mohs scale is approximately 5, making it relatively durable. In addition to its geological significance, fluorapatite is also of interest in various industrial applications, including fertilizers and as a source of phosphorus. The CAS number 1306-05-4 uniquely identifies this compound, facilitating its recognition in scientific literature and regulatory contexts. Overall, fluorapatite plays a crucial role in both natural processes and human applications.
