Abstract

Hydroxyapatite (Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2) is a ceramic biomaterial which has high biocompatibility that makes it popular in the biomedical application as it can attach on human body without rejection by human immune system. Hydroxyapatite can be synthesized by various methods; one of them is electrochemical method. Synthesis of hydroxyapatite has been successfully conducted by electrochemical method using one pair of electrodes. However, the yield of hydroxyapatite produced by this pair of electrode was still low. To address those issue this research proposed synthesis of hydroxyapatite using multiple electrodes in different arrangements to improve the yield of the reaction, which were conventional and alternating arrangements. The potential value was fixed on 6 V to study the effect of electrodes arrangement on current density. Electrosynthesis of hydroxyapatite showed that multiple electrodes on alternating arrangement produced more hydroxyapatite mass and current density than the conventional arrangement. The alternating arrangement produced hydroxyapatite mass of 2.3483 g and current density of 19.32 mA/cm2, while the conventional arrangement produced 2.3157 g and 15.05 mA/cm2.
