The common methods for synthesizing calcium phosphates include solid‐state reaction, hydrothermal, sol–gel, and wet precipitation. The purpose of this study was to prepare various calcium phosphate bioceramics through a continuous reactor equipped with a static mixer. The precursors, amorphous calcium phosphate ( ACP ), and poor crystal hydroxyapatite ( PC ‐ HA p) were prepared using calcium and phosphate ion‐containing solutions by adjusting the pH and the [Ca]/[P] input ratio. The phase transformation from precursors to HA p, alpha‐tricalcium phosphates (α‐ TCP ), beta‐tricalcium phosphate (β‐ TCP ), or biphasic calcium phosphate ( BCP ) was dependent on the sintering temperature.
