Abstract
All this time, the utilization of sand of Kanaan, Loktunggul, and Sambera villages is only for building material. The abundant sand can be used as an advanced material if its metal and quartz contents are known. The analysis of metal and quartz contents on sand for the three villages has been conducted using the methods of x-ray diffraction (XRD) and x-ray fluorescence (XRF). The analysis with XRD method (X-Ray 0.15406 nm) revealed that the scatter angles at 2θ were 26.7470, 26.7360, and 26.7320 degrees with crystal widths of each sand are 1.2067 nm, 1.1876 nm, and 1.81085 nm. Meanwhile, the analysis with XRF method revealed that the concentrations of quartz were 95,5%, 96,6% and 79,1%. According to the analysis, the aluminium content was approximately 14.9 %, and it means that the purification process need to be conducted. The result revealed that the sand of Kanaan and Loktunggul villages was better than the sand of Sambera village regarding of its utilization as quartz material.
