Abstract:Zircon is one of the most stable chemical compound due to the strong bond between zirconia and silica in its molecule. Therefore, any extraction for zirconium metal or other useful zirconium compounds must start with the breakdown of such bond. The breakdown of zircon using the alkali fusion method is a well-known techniques and can be more favorable than using traditional chlorination breakdown if less drastic reaction conditions have been obtained. For such reason, the presence work study the fusion of zircon with equimolar ratio of KOH and NaOH as an alternative for using NaOH and Na
