Kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengekstrak dan mencirikan hidroksiaptit (HA) daripada tulang lembu dan sisik ikan menggunakan kaedah rawatan alkali pada kepekatan yang berbeza. Spektroskopi inframerah (FTIR) dan analisis pembelauan sinar-X (XRD) telah digunakan untuk mencirikan bahan HA daripada tulang lembu (HATL) dan sisik ikan (HASI). Analisis FTIR terhadap sampel HATL dan HASI membuktikan kewujudan kumpulan berfungsi fosfat dan hidroksil di dalam kedua-dua sample. Keputusan XRD menunjukkan difragtogram HA tulang lembu dan HA sisik ikan sepadan dengan difragtogram HA piawai. Keputusan XRD mengesahkan kehadiran fasa kedua iaitu beta trikalsium fosfat (β-TCP) daripada HASI selepas disinter pada suhu 1200 °C. Analisis termogravimetri (TGA) menunjukkan tulang lembu dan sisik ikan yang dirawat dengan 5M NaOH berjaya menyingkirkan bahan organik yang paling tinggi. Mikroskop imbasan elektron (SEM) telah digunakan untuk mengkaji morfologi apatit yang diperolehi. Analisis SEM menun.....
