Abstract
⺠The study of potassium oleate adsorption on the surface of apatite by AFM. ⺠AFM images for each experiment along with their histograms were recorded. ⺠The presence of calcium ions in aqueous solution led to the formation of precipitated. ⺠Oleate adsorption occurs through the formation of clusters of calcium dioleate. ⺠The presence of these clusters makes the apatite surface heterogeneous and rough.
