Abstract

This study aimed to determine the effect of kerosene, sodium dodecyl sulfate salt (SDS), and sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (SDBS) as surfactants on zircon particle distribution in acetone solvent. The amount of each surfactant was 0.015 and 0.030 ml for kerosene and 0.015 and 0.030 gr of SDS and 0.015 gr of SDBS in 20 ml of solvent. The zircon powder was obtained from zircon natural sand from South Kalimantan, Indonesia. The phase identification, morphology, and particle distribution of the treated zircon powders were observed using x-ray diffractometer (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and particle size analyzer (PSA) respectively. The estimated crystallite size of the original zircon powder was approximately 184 nm. PSA data showed that kerosene performed a greater improvement in avoiding crystallite agglomeration as compared to the other surfactants. Zircon particles with kerosene surfactant exhibited approximately 1 crystallites while the others had 4-16 crystallites.
