In this work the hardening process α-tricalcium phosphate (α-TCP) cements is investigated, modified by two additives - citrate ions and pyrophosphate ions. The influence of citrate and pyrophosphate ion additives on setting properties strongly depends on pH of the liquid phase. The cement was considered set, when it could bear the weight of 267g indentor needle with 1mm diameter. Phase composition and morphology of cements was determined using X-ray diffractometry, Fourier-transform infrared spectrometry and scanning electron microscopy.
