Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of glaze technology, specifically to a low-temperature antibacterial opaque glaze, its preparation method, and sanitary ware. Background Technology

[0002] Glaze is a thin layer applied to the surface of ceramics, enamel, and other products. It is mainly composed of a mixture of mineral and chemical raw materials, fired at high temperatures. It serves decorative, protective, or sealing purposes. Glazes used on sanitary ware surfaces generally require high strength, corrosion resistance, and easy cleaning. With scientific advancements and increasing demands for hygiene and health, the demand for antibacterial materials in sanitary ware has grown significantly. Opaque glaze, as a commonly used material on sanitary ware surfaces, directly affects the quality of the sanitary ware. However, traditional antibacterial agents used in opaque glazes are prone to deactivation during the high-temperature sintering process of ceramics, and their dispersibility and stability are unsatisfactory, making it difficult to achieve effective antibacterial action. Furthermore, the use of sanitary ware generates large amounts of ammonia gas, which produces a pungent odor and poses health risks.

[0003] The prior art discloses a method for preparing antibacterial ceramic glaze, which improves the antibacterial effect by adding silver-based antibacterial agents. However, the long-term antibacterial effect is not obvious and it does not have the ability to absorb ammonia. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing ceramic glazes in terms of long-term antibacterial effect and the lack of ammonia absorption in sanitary ware, thereby providing a low-temperature antibacterial opaque glaze, its preparation method and sanitary ware.

[0005] On one hand, the present invention provides a low-temperature antibacterial opaque glaze, comprising a glaze and an antibacterial material. The glaze comprises albite, lepidolite, zinc phosphate, barium carbonate, calcined talc, calcined kaolin, and low-alumina raw materials. The low-alumina raw materials include quartz, zircon sand, and wollastonite. The antibacterial material comprises silver lactate and rare earth oxides. The rare earth oxides include yttrium oxide, scandium oxide, and cerium oxide. The content of albite in the glaze is 10-17 wt%, the content of lepidolite is 4.3-9.6 wt%, and the content of zinc phosphate is 1.5-4 wt%. The composition includes t%, barium carbonate (2.8-4 wt%), calcined talc (7-10 wt%), quartz (28-35 wt%), zircon sand (15-20 wt%), wollastonite (4.5-6.3 wt%), calcined kaolin (8-11 wt%), silver lactate (1.3-2.5 wt%), yttrium oxide (1.6-2.3 wt%), scandium oxide (1.2-1.8 wt%), and cerium oxide (0.9-1.8 wt%).

[0006] This invention uses silver lactate as the preferred antibacterial material. On one hand, it leverages the excellent melting properties of silver lactate to efficiently release silver ions during low-temperature firing, achieving long-lasting sterilization. The synergistic effect of rare earth elements scandium, yttrium, and cerium with silver ions significantly enhances the sterilization effect through the catalytic release of silver ions by these rare earth elements. On the other hand, compared to organic silver materials such as silver oxalate or silver citrate, this invention utilizes the good solubility of silver lactate to improve the dispersibility of the antibacterial substance in the glaze, avoiding agglomeration that could lead to uneven release of the antibacterial material and thus unstable antibacterial effects. The problem is that silver lactate, being weakly acidic, has strong compatibility with the glaze matrix, meaning it will not cause silver ion precipitation due to pH fluctuations, nor will it corrode the glaze. At the same time, silver lactate can form a complex with ammonia, reducing the concentration of free ammonia. The formed complex can also neutralize barium oxide in the glaze to form ammonium salts. The active oxygen species (such as ·OH) produced by the catalytic decomposition of ammonia by rare earth oxides can dissolve the complex, releasing silver ions to maintain long-term antibacterial activity. This closed-loop mechanism of "complexation-neutralization-catalysis" is difficult to achieve with other organic silver salts (e.g., silver citrate).

[0007] On the other hand, the present invention provides a method for preparing a low-temperature antibacterial opaque glaze, comprising the following steps: Step 1: mixing the raw materials of the antibacterial material according to the formula to form a powder, and then adding the raw materials of the glaze to form a mixture; Step 2: mixing the mixture to obtain a low-temperature antibacterial opaque glaze; Step 1, preparing the powder, specifically includes mixing the raw materials of the antibacterial material and water under stirring, separating the solid and liquid, passing the mixture through a first sieve to form a powder, wherein the stirring speed is 400-600 rpm, the stirring time is 60-120 min, the stirring temperature is 60-80℃, and the solid-liquid separation includes a drying step, wherein the drying temperature is 70-90℃. The drying time is 1-2 hours, and the mesh size of the first sieve is 1000-1200 mesh. Step two specifically includes mixing, dispersing, and passing the mixture through a second sieve while grinding to obtain a low-temperature antibacterial opaque glaze. The grinding speed is 200-400 rpm, and the grinding time is 60-90 minutes. The dispersion includes an ultrasonic treatment step with an ultrasonic power of 600-900W and an ultrasonic treatment time of 0.5-2 hours. The mesh size of the second sieve is 400-600 mesh. During the grinding process, grinding balls and water are also included. The total mass of the opaque glaze and powder, and the mass ratio of grinding balls to water are 1:2-3:0.9-1.2.

[0008] Meanwhile, the present invention also provides a sanitary ware, wherein the glaze of the sanitary ware is obtained by impregnation with opaque glaze and microwave sintering treatment, wherein the opaque glaze includes the above-mentioned low-temperature antibacterial opaque glaze, the glaze thickness of the impregnation with opaque glaze is 0.9-1.2mm, the microwave sintering temperature is 1150-1180℃, and the heat preservation time is 0.5-1h.

[0009] The technical solution of this invention has the following advantages:

[0010] 1. This invention provides a low-temperature antibacterial opaque glaze, comprising a glaze and an antibacterial material. The glaze comprises albite, lepidolite, zinc phosphate, barium carbonate, calcined talc, calcined kaolin, and low-alumina raw materials. The low-alumina raw materials include quartz, zircon sand, and wollastonite. The antibacterial material comprises silver lactate and rare earth oxides. The rare earth oxides include yttrium oxide, scandium oxide, and cerium oxide. The glaze contains 10-17 wt% albite, 4.3-9.6 wt% lepidolite, and 1.5-1.5 wt% zinc phosphate. The glaze comprises 4 wt% barium carbonate, 2.8-4 wt% barium carbonate, 7-10 wt% calcined talc, 28-35 wt% quartz, 15-20 wt% zircon sand, 4.5-6.3 wt% wollastonite, and 8-11 wt% calcined kaolin. The silver lactate content is 1.3-2.5 wt%, the yttrium oxide content is 1.6-2.3 wt%, the scandium oxide content is 1.2-1.8 wt%, and the cerium oxide content is 0.9-1.8 wt%. This invention introduces a powerful flux into the glaze, including albite, lepidolite, zinc phosphate, and barium carbonate, low-temperature reactive components including calcined talc, and a low-alumina system to form the glaze, reducing the influence of high-melting-point components and lowering the melting temperature of the glaze. Simultaneously, this invention uses rare earth oxides as raw materials for antibacterial materials, which not only achieves a highly efficient and long-lasting antibacterial effect but also further reduces the glaze firing temperature. The glaze components and antibacterial materials provided by this invention not only significantly reduce the glaze firing temperature and greatly reduce energy consumption in large-scale production, but also effectively improve resource utilization efficiency. Simultaneously, by utilizing slow-release carriers such as zinc phosphate and barium carbonate, the release rate of silver ions is controlled, ensuring the durability of the antibacterial effect. The resulting glaze also has the function of removing ammonia. This invention uses quartz, zircon sand, and wollastonite as raw materials for opaque glazes, which not only further reduces the firing temperature but also utilizes zircon sand and yttrium oxide to form a stable high-silicate structure. Yttrium oxide further stabilizes the zirconium crystals through solid solution, enhancing the glaze surface strength. Furthermore, this invention utilizes the excellent melting properties of silver lactate, enabling efficient release of silver ions during low-temperature firing to achieve long-lasting sterilization. The synergistic effect of rare earth elements scandium, yttrium, and cerium with silver ions significantly enhances the sterilization effect through the catalytic release of silver ions by these rare earth elements.

[0011] 2. The preparation method of the low-temperature antibacterial opaque glaze provided by the present invention includes the following steps: Step 1: Mixing the raw materials of the antibacterial material according to the formula to form a powder, and then adding the raw materials of the glaze to form a mixture; Step 2: Mixing the mixture to obtain the low-temperature antibacterial opaque glaze; Step 1, making the powder, specifically includes mixing the raw materials of the antibacterial material and water under stirring, separating the solid and liquid, passing through a first sieve to form a powder, wherein the stirring speed is 400-600 rpm, the stirring time is 60-120 min, the stirring temperature is 60-80℃, and the solid-liquid separation includes a drying step, the drying temperature is 70-90℃, and the drying... The drying time is 1-2 hours, and the mesh size of the first sieve is 1000-1200 mesh. Step two specifically includes mixing, dispersing, and passing the mixture through a second sieve while grinding to obtain a low-temperature antibacterial opaque glaze. The grinding speed is 200-400 rpm, and the grinding time is 60-90 minutes. The dispersion includes an ultrasonic treatment step with an ultrasonic power of 600-900W and an ultrasonic treatment time of 0.5-2 hours. The mesh size of the second sieve is 400-600 mesh. During the grinding process, grinding balls and water are also included. The total mass of the opaque glaze and powder, and the mass ratio of grinding balls to water are 1:2-3:0.9-1.2. This invention controls the particle size of raw materials in opaque glaze through grinding and uses nano-sized antibacterial materials to make the distribution of silver ions and rare earth oxides more uniform and the antibacterial activity stronger. At the same time, it uses microwave sintering process to directly heat the inside of the material through electromagnetic waves to achieve uniform heating of the whole, avoiding the temperature gradient caused by heat transfer from the outside to the inside in traditional heating methods. This promotes the synchronous heating and uniform dispersion of antibacterial powder and glaze layer, thereby improving the antibacterial performance of the glaze surface.

[0012] 3. This invention provides a sanitary ware, the glaze of which is obtained by impregnation with opaque glaze and microwave sintering. The opaque glaze includes the aforementioned low-temperature antibacterial opaque glaze. The thickness of the impregnated glaze is 0.9-1.2 mm. The microwave sintering temperature is 1150-1180℃, and the holding time is 0.5-1 h. This invention efficiently removes ammonia through the combined action of multiple mechanisms, including the acidic conversion of zinc phosphate in the glaze, the alkaline fixation of barium carbonate, the catalytic decomposition of rare earth oxides, and the complexation of silver ions.
