Abstract

Copper oxide powder was prepared from Copper iron from South Solok, Indonesia. The samples was dried and calcined for an hour at temperatures of 145°C, 300°C,850°C, 1000°C. Phase transformation and crystallite size of the calcined powders have been investigated as a function of calcination temperature by room-temperature X-ray diffraction (XRD). It was seen that the tenorite, CuO was successfully obtained. With increasing calcining temperature, CuO transformed from malachite Cu2(CO3)(OH)2 to tenorite phase (CuO) and crystallite size of prepared samples increased from 36 nm to 76 nm.
