Mg impurity promoted formation of β-polymorph as a second phase in the resultant product. The extension of firing operation also led to an increase in the amount of α-TCP, higher firing temperature with an Equivalent soaking time resulted in a more purely synthesized αTCP. The amount of α and β phases at each heating program were investigated throughMatch software system. The highest percentage of obtained α-TCP in the resultant product with the monetite precursor containing 0.43 wt.% magnesium impurity at 1350°C and 16 hours of soaking time was about 94%.
