Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of building ceramics, and particularly relates to a zirconium-free and titanium-free quartz-based ceramic tile body glaze and a preparation method of the ceramic tile using the body glaze. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the building ceramic industry, body glaze (also known as cosmetic clay) has been widely used because it can cover the color and part of the defects of the ceramic body, has a strong hiding effect, reduces the selection requirement of raw materials for the body, and can greatly reduce the product cost. According to the production summary experience in the industry for many years, to realize the hiding effect and ensure the production quality of the product in the later period, the body glaze is generally required to have a whiteness of 55-70° and a glossiness of 4-10° after firing.

[0003] At present, the body glaze used in the industry mainly includes zirconium-based opacified body glaze and titanium-based opacified body glaze. Although the zirconium-based opacified body glaze has a relatively high radioactivity, it has a high refractive index of 1.93-2.01, has a good opacifying effect, has high whiteness, strong wear resistance, can widen the firing temperature range of glaze, is not affected by the firing atmosphere, and has other advantages. However, since stable and high-quality zircon sand resources have not been found in China, most of the zircon sand raw materials used in the ceramic industry depend on import, and the dependence on the international market is high. In recent years, with the continuous rise of global commodity prices, the price of zircon sand is also rising, which greatly increases the cost of ceramic enterprises, forcing ceramic process technicians to use various technical means to find a substitute for zirconium silicate in the increasingly fierce market competition, and reduce the comprehensive cost of the body glaze.

[0004] On the other hand, in order to eliminate the radioactive radiation hazard caused by the raw material associated radioactive substances of zirconium silicate, and at the same time to alleviate the pressure of dependence on imported zircon sand resources, in recent years most industry technical personnel have focused on the research of low-cost non-radioactive titanium-based opacified underglaze, such as CN111499202A, CN109293238A, CN115304277A, CN116040945B, etc. The high solar reflectance opacified glaze and its preparation method disclosed in CN111499202A controls the molar ratio of calcium and titanium in the opacified glaze within a certain range, promotes the reaction of titanium dioxide and calcite in the opacified glaze during the firing process to generate titanite, and avoids the existence of rutile crystal phase of titanium dioxide at high temperature to cause the glaze to turn yellow. However, this technical solution which uses titanite crystal grains as seeds to induce the reaction of titanium dioxide and calcite to generate titanite crystal phase with a particle size of 450-600 nm requires the addition of a large amount of calcite, and the underglaze must be melted to completely react, which will cause the gloss of the actual kiln temperature fired underglaze to be very high, deviating from the experience principle that the general gloss of the underglaze for ceramic production is controlled at 4-10°, resulting in a lower minimum eutectic point of the glaze composition in the opacified glaze and a narrower melting temperature range, which is prone to produce defects such as pinholes and pimples on the glaze surface. The titanium white opacified underglaze and ceramic plate disclosed in CN115304277A need to prepare titanium white frit as an opacifying agent, and strictly control the content of alumina and calcium in the formula to enable the solid-phase reaction of titanium dioxide and wollastonite to synthesize titanite without the existence of rutile crystal phase of titanium dioxide during the firing process at a ring temperature of 1100-1150°C and a firing period of 60 min, thereby better inhibiting the tendency of rutile-type titanium dioxide to turn yellow and making the glaze surface not yellow. However, the firing range is too narrow and is not suitable for platform conversion. The ceramic tile underglaze, ceramic tile and preparation method disclosed in CN116040945B introduce metatitanic acid and brucite into the ceramic tile underglaze formula, generate a magnesium titanate opacified phase through solid-phase reaction, the gloss of the glaze surface is <10 degrees, the whiteness is between 60-70 degrees, and the underglaze is more relaxed than the underglaze containing titanium white frit, which can be fired at a high temperature of 1150-1250°C. However, in fact, the stability of the product is not enough, and the glaze surface of the product will still turn yellow after a long time of sunlight. In summary, the opacified underglaze containing titanium components is not stable enough when used at high temperature platform (firing temperature >1000°C), and there is always a risk of discoloration.

It has low cost, can adapt to firing at a temperature of 1,070 to 1,180°C, has a wide firing range, is easy to control, has uniform color, and has more stable quality. After firing, the whiteness can reach 66 to 72°, and the glossiness is 4 to 7°, which meets the use requirements of the base glaze.

[0045] (2) The base glaze formula of the present invention does not contain zirconium, is non-radioactive, does not rely on imported raw materials, and has relatively low cost, which solves the problem of high cost and high radioactivity caused by whitening with zirconium silicate. The base glaze formula of the present invention also does not contain titanium, which solves the problem of narrow firing range, instability, and easy discoloration of the opacified base glaze of titanium-based glazes.

[0046] ⑶ The present invention applies low-cost, high-purity, and high-whiteness ultrafine quartz powder to ceramic base glaze. The ultrafine quartz powder has a microparticle form, so that the ultrafine quartz powder can act as an emulsifier in the glaze, so that the glaze forms an emulsifying effect, and the base glaze is zirconium-free and titanium-free, whitened, and has a stable structure and a wide firing range. It is beneficial to saving high-quality ceramic raw material resources and promoting technology and development in the ceramic industry.

[0047] ⑷ The high-purity and high-white quartz powder used in the present invention is pre-fired before grinding to reduce the presence of free quartz. During the subsequent firing preparation process of the product, the nepheline in the formula can melt the quartz, increase the viscosity of the melt, generate a relatively stable emulsified crystal phase, and achieve a good emulsification effect.
