	%X Flue gas desulfurization gypsum (FGD) is a waste
material arouse from coal power plants. Hydroxyapatite (HAP) is a
biomaterial with porous structure. In this study, FGD gypsum which
retrieved from coal power plant in Turkey was characterized and
HAP particles which can be used as an adsorbent in wastewater
treatment application were synthesized from the FGD gypsum. The
raw materials are characterized by using X Ray Diffraction (XRD)
and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) techniques and
produced HAP are characterized by using XRD. As a result, HAP
particles were synthesized at the molar ratio of 5:10, 5:15, 5:20, 5:24,
at room temperature, in alkaline medium (pH=11) and in 1 hour-reaction
time. Among these conditions, 5:20 had the best result.
