Mechanical activation of quartz was carried out in jet mill at various specific kinetic energy level and classifier speed. The characterization of the particle size, crystallite size, amorphism rate and lattice strain was conducted on the feed and mechanically activated particles. The area under the prominent quartz peak was used to calculate the amorphism rate of the mechanically activated particles. Scherer equation was used to determine the crystallite size of the feed and mechanically activated particles. Mean particle size less than 5μm was obtained when the specific kinetic energy is ranging between 500 kWh/ton and 1000 kWh/ton. Amorphism of the mechanically activated particles up to 18% was observed at 500 kWh/ton. The crystallite size and lattice strain is influence by the intensity of the specific kinetic energy and classifier speed. The reduction in the crystallite size up to 39% was observed where the minimum crystallite is 23nm. The lattice strain is ranging from 0.024 to 0.038 respective to the specific kinetic energy and classifier speed.
