The processes occurring at the stages of mechanical activation of powders and firing of samples pressed from calcium phosphate nanopowders with a molar ratio of Ca / P = 1.25 have been studied. Washing the nanopowder in distilled water and alcohol after mechanical activation led to the removal of ammonium phosphates, and only hydroxyapatite and tricalcium phosphate were present in the ceramics. To preserve the molar ratio Ca / P = 1.25 in the ceramics, washing should not be carried out, then after firing, in addition to the indicated phases, calcium pyrophosphate is also present in the ceramics.
