Ca3Bi(PO4)3
ceramic· Ca3Bi(PO4)3
Ca₃Bi(PO₄)₃ is a mixed-metal phosphate ceramic compound combining calcium, bismuth, and phosphate ions in a crystalline structure. This material belongs to the family of rare-earth and heavy-metal phosphate ceramics, which are primarily investigated for nuclear waste immobilization, ion-exchange applications, and specialized biomedical contexts where bismuth's radiopacity and chemical stability are advantageous. It remains largely a research-phase compound rather than a mature commercial material, with potential utility in scenarios requiring thermal stability, chemical durability, or radiation-shielding properties typical of phosphate-based ceramics.
