Fish bone is rich in calcium carbonate, which makes it an alternative source of low cost calcium carbonate for the synthesis of calcium phosphate bioceramic for use in bone regeneration. The calcium phosphate bioceramic was prepared by a wet precipitation method with acid and base reactions. The synthesized bioceramic was characterized in terms of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM/EDS), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), average crystallite size and refinement by the Rietveld method for the quantification of crystalline phases. The results indicated the formation of a biphasic calcium phosphate bioceramic comprising 67.6 % of β-calcium pyrophosphate (β-CPP) and 32.1 % of β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP). This biphasic calcium phosphate bioceramic synthesized using fish bone waste presented nanostructured nature with an average crystallite size of 69.58 nm, which is very promising for biomedical applications.
