The Effect of sintering agent (Y₂O₃ and TiO₂) from Bangka senotyme sand and ilminite on conductivity characteristics of zircon ceramic

Abstract Zircon has potential as a reliable ceramic material because it good physical properties, including low thermal conductivity, coefficient of expansion and high mechanical resistance to heat can be used for various purposes such household appliances, industry, electronics, refractories, aerospace technology. In its application, zircon needs beformed into solid ceramics. The formation ceramics carried out by hydrothermal solgel methods at sintered temperature 1500°C based on hydrous zirconia amorphous silica. This research is focused the synthesis with varioussintering agents Y 2 O 3 TiO from tailings processing Bangka tin mining. synthesiswas basic material, namely powder extracted natural zirconsand. characterization that will XRD structure well mechanicaland electrical properties in form density hardness conductivity. Inthis study, hoped obtained.
