Hydroxyapatite is the main inorganic component of bone and tooth minerals, in which CO$$_{3}$$ ions partially substitute for OH and/or PO$$_{4}$$ ions. In this study, high purity type A carbonate apatite, Ca$$_{9.89}$$(PO$$_{4}$$)$$_{5.99}$$(CO$$_{3}$$)$$_{0.90}$$ powder completely substituted by carbonate ions were synthesized by a treatment of low crystalline hydroxyapatite powder, Ca$$_{9.89}$$(PO$$_{4}$$)$$_{5.99}$$(OH)$$_{1.80}$$) in a dry CO$$_{2}$$ flow at 1000 $$^{circ}$$C. The crystal structure of the sample was the monoclinic symmetry with space group of ${it Pb}$ and the lattice parameters, ${it a}$ = 0.9566 (1), ${it b}$ = 1.9063 (2), ${it c}$ = 0.6867 (1) nm and $$gamma$$ =119.84 (1)$$^{circ}$$, which was refined by a Rietveld method with neutron diffraction data.
