Effect of Concentration TTIP on Size Nano-Powder Titanium Dioxide (TiO₂)

Abstract

In this work, titanium Dioxide (TiO2) powder was prepared by sol gel method using Titanium (IV) Isopropoxide (TTIP) as precursor and Ethanol (C2H5OH) as solvent. The sol-gel was heated at temperature 150°C in 1 hour. Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) powder was milled with constant ball to powder ratio (BPR) of 10:1 with speed 600 rpm. Then the sample was characterized using Particle Size Analyzer, Raman Spectroscopy and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) powder was prepared with three different concentration of TTIP to the size of Titanium Dioxide (TTIP) powder. Titanium Dioxide (TTIP) powder was milled with ball milling to produce nanopowder of Titanium Dioxide (TiO2).
