Abstract

Nano-hydroxyapatite particles were prepared from Atlantic salmon bones using ultrasound in combination with heat, ball-milling and acid treatment. The smallest particles (d = 29 nm) were produced using aqueous propanoic acid and 15 min ultrasound exposure, whereas heat pre-treatment and ultrasound for 60 min led to more well-defined, spherical particles.
