The mechanisms of zeolite that contribute to the dispersion stability of iron oxide were investigated. It was evident that an interaction exists between iron oxide and zeolite by the sedimentation method and absorbance measurements. Moreover, zeolite enhances the dispersion stability of iron oxide particles. This study proves that zeolite exerts an effect of increasing pH, which is one of the mechanisms that contributes to the dispersion stability of iron oxide particles.
