Abstract:
Worldwide rock phosphate deposits are a kind of nonrenewable natural resources, which do not regenerate themselves
over humanly meaningful time spans. Obtaining the right
compensation as a resource-related wealth is a timely
requirement. Current study discusses both the economic
importance and impact of value addition to Sri Lankan Eppawala
rock phosphate via innovative commercial products. Rock
phosphate has been value-added into Hydroxyapatite bio ceramic
chemically, their properties were analyzed under several
characterization techniques, their composites were processed to
obtain improved properties via incorporating with liquid
monomers and costs analysis were performed to obtain economic
validity. Results were compared and contrasted with raw
materials, human hard tissues, and commercial products. Results
show that novel products can be applied directly as bio ceramic
materials due to their close chemical, structural similarity to
human hard tissues than commercial products. Considering better
performance, eco-friendliness, and novel composites can be
introduced to global market with high value.
