Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of ceramics, and in particular to an acid- and alkali-resistant ceramic and a preparation process thereof. Background Art

[0002] Ceramics is a general term for pottery and porcelain. The Chinese invented pottery as early as the Neolithic Age, around 8000 BC. With the development of society and the evolving aesthetics of people, ceramic crafts with a variety of complex shapes have emerged. In daily life, ceramic products are frequently exposed to various acids, bases, and salts, such as acidic and alkaline cleaning agents, which require high acid and alkali resistance. However, existing ceramic products have poor acid and alkali resistance. Long-term exposure not only causes corrosion and peeling of the glaze, reducing the service life of the ceramic, but also causes the glaze to oxidize and turn black, detracting from its original aesthetic appeal and affecting its normal use. Summary of the Invention
