Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of building ceramics, and particularly relates to a low-zirconium super-white ceramic face glaze, a glaze-finished brick and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] When producing porcelain glazed tile products, the whiteness of the face glaze is an important reference index, which directly affects the effect and aesthetic degree of the finished product. The face glaze with high whiteness and good color development is conducive to ceramic manufacturers to design more rich textures and patterns in the preparation process, and to produce higher quality products. At present, when producing glazed tile products, zirconium silicate is generally added to the face glaze, and the addition amount is 8-18wt%. When zirconium silicate is added to the ceramic face glaze, it forms zircon in the firing process of the tile, thereby scattering the incident light waves to achieve the effect of opalescence and whitening.

[0003] At present, glazed tiles generally improve whiteness by adding zirconium silicate. When the addition amount of zirconium silicate is relatively low, it can significantly improve the whiteness of the glaze. When the addition amount exceeds 15%, the whiteness improves slowly. At the same time, excessive addition of zirconium silicate also brings other problems, such as the current market price of zirconium silicate is relatively expensive compared with common raw materials for glaze, the cost rises sharply due to the large addition amount, the whiteness improvement is not obvious, and the cost performance is reduced. At the same time, although zirconium silicate itself does not have radioactivity, it often contains a small amount of radioactive elements such as uranium, radium, potassium-40 and thorium. When the addition amount is large, it is easy to cause the radioactivity of the finished product tile to exceed the standard.

[0004] For example, the Chinese invention patent with the publication number CN115521070A discloses a nano super-white face glaze, a ceramic tile and a preparation method thereof. The invention uses zirconium oxychloride aqueous solution, sodium metasilicate aqueous solution and alkaline solution as main raw materials, and prepares nano super-white zirconium silicate with a particle size of ≤50nm by a microemulsion method. The nano super-white zirconium silicate is added to the face glaze to adjust the composition of the face glaze formula, introduces lithium-containing raw materials (porcelain stone) and flaky alumina (α) which are helpful to crystallization, reduces the addition amount of zircon sand in the face glaze, and improves the whiteness and color development effect of the glaze surface. However, the preparation method is complex, and it is difficult to mass-produce to meet the production requirements of ceramic factories.

[0005] The invention discloses a zirconium white frit, a white base glaze and a preparation method and application thereof. The zirconium white frit is prepared from the following chemical components: SiO2 41-45%, SnO2 4-6%, Al2O3 5-7%, Fe2O3 0.01-0.05%, TiO2 0.01-0.05%, CaO 5.5-8%, MgO 2.5-4%, K2O 2-4%, Na2O 0.5-1.5%, ZnO 9-14%, P2O5 1-2%, ZrO2 9-12% and IL 6-9%. The prepared frit 30-40% is compounded with calcined kaolin, wollastonite and sanidine, so that the prepared white base glaze has good flatness, and the whiteness of the base glaze can reach more than 70°. The zirconium white frit simultaneously introduces high content of expensive tin oxide, zirconium oxide and zinc oxide, greatly improves the production cost, and has poor color development effect.

[0006] The invention discloses a high-boron phase separation zirconium white frit and a preparation method thereof. The high-boron phase separation zirconium white frit is prepared from the following raw materials: potassium feldspar 28-32%, boric acid 8-11%, potassium carbonate 2-3%, dolomite 13-15%, heavy calcium 3-5%, zircon 5-6%, zinc oxide 9-10%, and quartz 20-23%. Although the amount of zircon is reduced, the high-boron frit is not suitable for use in ceramic tiles, which can easily lead to low glaze temperature and initial melting point, thereby causing pinholes and overfiring on the glaze surface.

[0007] Therefore, it is urgent to develop a low-zircon white ceramic face glaze, which can ensure the quality of the glaze surface, realize low cost and high whiteness, and will not affect the color development effect of the product. SUMMARY

[0008] The invention provides a low-zircon super-white (whiteness greater than 75°) ceramic face glaze, a glaze-brushed tile and a preparation method thereof, so as to solve one or more technical problems in the prior art and at least provide a beneficial choice or create conditions.

[0009] To solve the above technical problems, the first aspect of the invention provides a ceramic face glaze, which comprises a base glaze and a zirconium white frit. The chemical composition of the zirconium white frit comprises: SiO2 60-68%, Al2O3 10-15%, CaO 3-5%, MgO 0.5-2%, K2O 4-6%, Na2O 6-12%, P2O5 1-2.5%, ZrO2 6-8%, CeO2 0.5-3% and CaF2 0.5-1.5% by weight percentage.

[0010] Specifically, the present application adopts semi-frit ceramic face glaze compounded by raw material and frit, by introducing a certain amount of P2O5, CeO2 and CaF2 in zirconium white frit, and increasing the content of alumina, to prepare low-zirconium ceramic face glaze, which realizes high whiteness and good color development effect under the premise of ensuring the quality of glaze surface. Among them: P2O5 has small surface energy, which can reduce the formation free enthalpy of phase separation droplets in the glaze melt, thereby promoting the nucleation and growth of phase separation droplets. When the size of the phase separation droplets is smaller than or close to the wavelength of visible light, Rayleigh scattering or diffraction of visible light can be generated, thereby improving the opalescent effect of the glaze surface. At the same time, the glaze melt contains some refractory Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ groups, which act as crystal nuclei, and the droplets generated by phase separation provide an interface for the crystallization of the glaze melt, reducing the nucleation barrier and making the glaze melt have a certain crystallization tendency, which is beneficial to promote the precipitation of calcium feldspar and magnesium aluminate spinel crystals, further improving the opalescent effect of the glaze surface. CeO2 can oxidize Fe 2+ to Fe 3+ at high temperature, and the coloring ability of Fe 3+ is only 1 / 10 of that of Fe 2+ , thereby achieving the effects of decolorization and whitening; at the same time, CeO2 can interact with CaF2 to form cerium oxyfluoride, further improving the whiteness of the glaze.

[0011] As a further improvement of the above scheme, the raw material components of the base glaze, by weight, include: 10-20 parts of potassium feldspar, 2-8 parts of nepheline, 25-35 parts of quartz, 1-5 parts of calcined alumina, 10-15 parts of alumina, 2-8 parts of calcined kaolin, 6-10 parts of kaolin, and 3-5 parts of calcined zinc oxide.

[0012] Specifically, the base glaze of the present application contains a certain amount of quartz, potassium feldspar, nepheline and calcined zinc oxide, wherein: quartz sand can be partially dissolved in the glaze melt at high temperature, increasing the viscosity of the melt, which is beneficial to control the excessive growth of crystals and prevent the loss of transparency of the glaze layer; and the undissolved quartz is beneficial to improve the light transmittance of the glaze layer and promote color development. Potassium feldspar and nepheline as flux raw materials not only have good effect on improving the light transmittance of the glaze, but also are beneficial to improve the color development effect of the glaze. Calcined zinc oxide is zinc oxide calcined at a high temperature of 1250-1280 DEG C, which has the effect of improving the glaze property of the glaze and improving the color development performance.

[0013] Meanwhile, the zircon white frit is introduced into the face glaze, which improves the whiteness, but the frit is early melted at high temperature, which makes it difficult to remove the gas in the body, especially under the fast firing condition, thus the pinhole and orange peel defects are easily generated on the glaze surface, which affects the quality of the glaze surface.

[0014] As a further improvement of the above-mentioned scheme, the mass ratio of the base glaze to the zircon white frit is (1.5-5.5):1. By adjusting the use amount of the base raw glaze and the zircon white frit, the whiteness and color development effect of the glaze surface are further improved under the premise of ensuring the quality of the glaze surface.

[0015] As a further improvement of the above-mentioned scheme, the content of Fe2O3 in the alumina is less than 0.1wt%, and the content of Fe2O3 in the kaolin is less than 0.2wt%. The low-iron alumina and kaolin are selected, which can effectively ensure the whiteness of the glaze.

[0016] The second aspect of the present application provides a preparation method of a ceramic face glaze, which comprises the following steps:

[0017] (1) preparing a zircon white frit;

[0018] (2) wet grinding the zircon white frit and the base glaze, and then screening and removing iron to obtain the ceramic face glaze.

[0019] As a further improvement of the above-mentioned scheme, in step (2), grinding aids and water need to be added during the wet grinding.

[0020] Preferably, the grinding aids include sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and sodium tripolyphosphate, and the addition amount is 0.3-0.5wt% of the dry glaze.

[0021] As a further improvement of the above-mentioned scheme, the preparation process of the zircon white frit is as follows:

[0022] The raw materials for preparing the zircon white frit are mixed, and then the mixture is melted and poured into water for quenching to obtain frit particles; then the frit particles are crushed to obtain the zircon white frit.

[0023] As a further improvement of the above-mentioned scheme, the melting temperature is 1500-1580℃, and the melting time is 2-3 hours.

[0024] The third aspect of the present application provides a glazed brick, which comprises a body and a face glaze layer arranged on the upper surface of the body, and the face glaze layer is fired from the above-mentioned ceramic face glaze.

[0025] The fourth aspect of the present application provides a preparation method of the glaze-finished tile, comprising the following steps:

[0026] The raw materials of the surface glaze layer are taken to prepare the surface glaze slurry, which is then applied to the upper surface of the body, and the glaze-finished tile is obtained after drying, firing and polishing.

[0027] As a further improvement of the above-mentioned solution, in step (2), the temperature schedule of the firing is as follows: first, increasing to 900-950℃ at a temperature increasing rate of 12-15℃ / min, and keeping for 10-15min; then, increasing to the highest firing temperature at a temperature increasing rate of 6-8℃ / min, and keeping for 5-10min, and finally, cooling in the kiln; and the highest firing temperature is 1150-1180℃.

[0028] Specifically, when the glaze-finished tile is fired, it is first increased to 900-950℃ at a faster temperature increasing rate, at which time the crystals of calcium feldspar, magnesium-aluminum spinel and mullite begin to nucleate, and the crystals are kept for 10-15min to make them fully nucleate; then, it is increased to 1150-1180℃ at a slower temperature increasing rate, at which time the crystals nucleate and grow, and in order to prevent the crystals from growing too much, the keeping time is controlled to be 5-10min. By controlling the firing schedule, a large amount of microcrystals are precipitated in the glaze layer, which improves the whiteness of the surface while not reducing the color development effect.

[0029] As a further improvement of the above-mentioned solution, the preparation method of the glaze-finished tile comprises the following steps:

[0030] The raw materials of the surface glaze layer and the bottom glaze layer are taken to prepare the surface glaze slurry and the bottom glaze slurry, respectively, which are then applied to the surface of the body layer in sequence, and the glaze-finished tile is obtained after drying, firing and polishing.

[0031] The body and the bottom glaze of the present application have no special requirements, and the body and the bottom glaze of ordinary glaze-finished tiles can be used.

[0032] The above technical solution of the present application has at least the following technical effects or advantages compared with the prior art:

[0033] The present application uses a semi-frit ceramic surface glaze, which fully utilizes the characteristics of each raw material and the interaction between the raw materials by introducing a certain amount of P2O5, CeO2 and CaF2 into the zircon white frit; at the same time, the content of alumina in the formula system is increased, and a certain amount of quartz, potassium feldspar, nepheline and calcined zinc oxide, as well as ceramic basic raw material kaolin, are added, and the raw materials are optimally selected and reasonably compounded to prepare a low-glaze super-white ceramic surface glaze with excellent comprehensive performance. When it is applied to the glaze-finished tile, the whiteness can reach up to 79°, and it has good color development effect and good glaze quality. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
