Magnesium phosphate compounds such as newberyite (MgHPO₄·3H₂O) and struvite (MgNH₄PO₄·6H₂O) are becoming important alternatives to calcium phosphates in hard tissue replacements. So far, newberyite has received lesser attention with respect to struvite. Therefore, the broad aim of this paper is to report an easy synthesis technique and characterization of single‐phase newberyite, which may have diverse uses as a bioceramic material. Specifically, we describe a simple and robust microwave‐assisted process for the synthesis of single‐phase newberyite in tabular hexagonal form. Second, we soak the newberyite powders in simulated body fluid, a solution which mimics the pH and ion concentration of human blood plasma, for 7 days and analyze the apatite formation on the crystals. Third, we report that single‐phase newberyite, by itself, does not possess antibacterial property.

微波辅助合成和表征单相片状六角形纽水榴石，一种重要的生物陶瓷

磷酸镁化合物，例如新水红石（MgHPO ₄ ·3H ₂ O）和鸟粪石（MgNH ₄ PO ₄ ·6H ₂O）在硬组织替代中正成为磷酸钙的重要替代品。到目前为止，在鸟粪石方面，新水银石受到的关注较少。因此，本文的主要目的是报告一种简便的合成技术和表征单相新水钠铝石，它可能作为生物陶瓷材料具有多种用途。具体来说，我们描述了一种简单而健壮的微波辅助方法，用于合成表格六边形形式的单相新绿钠铁矿。第二，我们将新绿铁矿粉浸泡在模拟人体血浆的pH和离子浓度的模拟体液中7天，然后分析晶体上磷灰石的形成。第三，我们报告说，单相新水红石本身不具有抗菌性能。
