N2 - The synthesis of zircon (ZrSiO4) powders was optimized through the variation of puya sand mass and HCl molarity reduction. This study aimed to produce zircon powder in large quantities more efficiently. The puya sand was obtained from Kereng Pangi, Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. The zircon powders were synthesized through the process of mesh 40 sieves, magnetic separation, ball milling, and HCl immersion. This study used 2 types of sand, namely P1_0 (Puya sand 1) and P2_0 (Puya sand 2), which differ in impurity level, with a mass variation of 30, 40, 50, and 60 g, while the HCl molarity was 0.5 M. Zircon of 30 g is the initial mass referring to the value was used in our previous studies. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) data were employed for phase assessment and elemental analysis of the synthesized powders, respectively. Results showed that P1_0 powders with all mass variations exhibited pure zircon or zircon productivity increased by 100 % than the initial mass, while P2_0 powder with a mass of zircon sand 40 g has the highest zircon content of 89.84% or productivity increased by 65% than the initial mass.
