Abstract :

Urinary stone disease is one of the common diseases in the human history. The prevention of urinary stone formation lies in the exact identification of urinary stone due to the infection of urinary track and urine. Brushite single crystal was grown by gel technique at room temperature by chemical reaction method. Sodium meta silicate (Na2SiO3.9H2O) is used as the gel medium.Orthophosphoric acid is used as the inner reactant.Inorder to investigate the growth condition for Brushite crystal in gel at room temperature, magnesium calcium hydrogen phosphate (MCHP) ushite crystals were grown and subjected to various characterizations. Such as powder X–ray diffraction, Fourier transform infra–red spectrum and Ultra–violet visible spectrum analysis. From the powder XRD analysis we confirm crystalline structure. The presence of functional groups was confirmed from FTIR analysis. The UV visible absorption and transmission spectrum of magnesium calcium hydrogen phosphate (MCHP) Brushite crystal were identified and mechanical strength analysed by Vicker�s hardness measurement
