[0005] Preferably, the sanitary ceramic glaze is made of the following chemical components in mass percentage: SiO2 59.64%~61.78%, Al2O3 8.62%~9.50%, CaO 12.45%~13.10%, MgO 2.42%~3.80%, Fe2O3 0.10%~1.25%, TiO2 0.09%~0.75%, K2O 7.09%~8.55%, Na2O 1.98%~3.75%, and the sum of the mass percentages of each chemical component is 100%.

[0008] Preferably, the sanitary ceramic glaze is passed through a 180-mesh sieve.

[0009] A second object of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing the above-mentioned sanitary ceramic glaze, comprising the following steps: S1. Mix 25 to 28 parts of quartz powder, 35 to 38 parts of feldspar powder, 11 to 18 parts of talc, 8 to 10 parts of light calcium carbonate, 5 to 8 parts of acid thorn ditch soil, 4 to 6 parts of left cloud soil, 7 to 9 parts of zinc oxide, and 5 to 6 parts of zirconium silicate, by weight, and perform a melting treatment at 1400°C to 1600°C. After water quenching, the mixture is dried to obtain a frit.

[0010] S2. Mixing the frit and water, and performing a first ball milling process to obtain a frit slurry.

[0011] S3. Mix the frit slurry, kaolin, water and sodium carbonate, and perform a second ball milling process. After screening, a sanitary ceramic glaze is obtained.

[0012] Preferably, the mass ratio of frit to water is 9-10:4-5.

[0013] Preferably, the mass ratio of frit, kaolin, water and sodium carbonate is 380-400:20-22:200-250:0.5-0.8.

[0014] Preferably, the particle size distribution of the frit slurry is: D 50 5.45µm, D 90 14.82µm, D 95 The particle size is 17.73µm, and the proportion of particles with a particle size less than 3.5µm is no less than 34.33%.

[0015] Preferably, the melt treatment conditions are: keeping the temperature at 1550° C. to 1600° C. for 20 min to 30 min.

[0016] Preferably, the first ball milling treatment is performed at a speed of 500 rad / min to 600 rad / min for 1.5 h.

[0018] Preferably, the particle size D of quartz powder and feldspar powder is 90 The particle size range is 8µm~10µm. Under the premise that the quartz powder and feldspar powder are fully melted under the optimal processing temperature conditions, the feldspar powder and quartz powder are just wrapped together, and micro-defect particles are formed after cooling, which ultimately improves the hardness of the glaze layer, enhances the wear resistance of the antibacterial sanitary ceramics, and prolongs the attenuation period of the antibacterial sanitary ceramics.

[0019] The third object of the present invention is an antibacterial sanitary ceramic, which is made using the above-mentioned sanitary ceramic glaze; the sanitary ceramic glaze is sprayed on the surface of the ceramic body and fired to form a glaze surface to obtain the antibacterial sanitary ceramic.

[0022] Preferably, the ceramic body is also sprayed with white glaze before spraying the sanitary ceramic glaze. The thickness of the white glaze coating is 0.3mm~0.5mm. This range is the best parameter obtained by the industry through long-term accumulation. If it is too thin, the whiteness cannot meet the requirements and the quality is affected. If it is too thick, it will increase the cost and increase the pinhole defects, reduce the gloss and stain resistance.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0026] Figure 1 This is the particle size distribution diagram of the frit slurry of Example 1. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solution of the present invention in conjunction with the data in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] It should be noted that the professional terms used in the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, the various raw materials, reagents, instruments and equipment used in the following embodiments of the present invention can be purchased from the market or prepared by existing methods.

[0029] In the existing technology, sanitary ware made of traditional ceramic glazes generally have the following problems: the glaze microstructure is not dense, stains are easily retained, the antibacterial performance is short-lived and easily causes the glaze to discolor (especially when using silver-based antibacterial agents), and it is difficult to simultaneously achieve high glaze hardness and ultra-smooth surface.

[0030] In response to the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art, the present invention provides a sanitary ceramic glaze, characterized in that the sanitary ceramic glaze is made of the following chemical components in mass percentage: SiO2 58.6%~63.6%, Al2O3 6%~11%, CaO 10%~15%, MgO 1%~5%, Fe2O3 0.05%~2%, TiO2 0.02~1.2%, K2O 11%~16%, Na2O 0.9%~5%, and the sum of the mass percentages of each chemical component is 100%.

[0031] This invention combines zinc, silver, and rare earth antimicrobial particles with quartz, feldspar, and clay to form a frit (a glassy substance). The frit's fineness is reduced to a D90 of less than 20 microns (compared to a conventional 325-mesh sieve), improving fluidity and smoothing uneven white glaze surfaces. Furthermore, increasing the aluminum content in the sanitary ceramic glaze enhances the glaze's wear and corrosion resistance. The resulting sanitary ceramic glaze not only exhibits high hardness but also excellent cleanability and antimicrobial properties, with an antimicrobial rate exceeding 99% and significantly improved durability. Furthermore, through an optimized preparation process, production costs are reduced by approximately 30%. This solves the problems of conventional glazes, such as a loose surface microstructure, short-lived antimicrobial properties, and the difficulty in balancing glaze hardness and smoothness. In particular, it avoids the discoloration of the glaze caused by conventional silver-based antimicrobial agents. This overcomes the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as insufficient surface smoothness, short-lived antimicrobial properties, and the conflicting demands of cleanability and antimicrobial properties, thus meeting the market demand for high-end sanitary ware.

[0052] Examples 1 to 5 of the present invention all produced sanitary ceramic glazes with similar performance. The sanitary ceramic glaze produced in Example 1 is taken as an example to study its performance: observe Figure 1 The particle size distribution of the frit slurry prepared in Example 1 was as follows: D50 = 5.45µm, D90 = 14.82µm, and D95 ​​≤ 17.73µm. Particles with a diameter < 3.5µm accounted for ≥ 34.33%, and particles < 10µm accounted for ≥ 74.36%. This particle size range helps the frit maintain a flow length of 30mm to 40mm (inclined plate method) when melting at 1200°C to 1230°C, thereby covering any pits in the white glaze caused by high viscosity or bubble overflow during the melting process.

[0053] Application method: The sanitary ceramic glaze of Example 1 was mixed with 30 mL of red ink. The red ink was used for coloring to obtain a glaze slurry. The specific gravity of the glaze slurry was adjusted to 1.60 and the fluidity was adjusted to 30 seconds. The glaze slurry was then loaded into a spray gun and sprayed evenly on the surface of the ceramic body at a pressure of 6 kg. The glaze amount was controlled to be 0.01 g / cm 2 The glazed ceramic body is placed in a kiln and fired at 1220°C for 18 hours. After firing, it is naturally cooled to obtain antibacterial sanitary ceramics.

[0054] Test method and test results: (1) Antifouling standard and test method: GB / T34549-2024. The antifouling performance test results show that the antibacterial sanitary ceramics prepared using the sanitary ceramic glaze of the present invention have excellent antifouling performance. When the surface of the product is vigorously smeared with atomic ink and an oil-based marker, dried and then washed, no more than three stains remain in the contaminated area of ​​2 cm × 2 cm. This is comparable to sanitary ceramics prepared using existing technology for TOTO, Jomoo, and Faenza brand products on the market, and complies with the GB / T34549-2024 standard.

[0055] (2) Antibacterial performance standards and test methods: JC / T897-2014 Staphylococcus aureus AS1.89. Escherichia coli AS1.90, antibacterial performance must be ≥90%. The test results are shown in Table 1.

[0056] Table 1 Microbial test results of antibacterial sanitary ceramics made using the sanitary ceramic glaze of the present invention The results in Table 1 indicate that the antibacterial sanitary ceramics produced using the sanitary ceramic glaze of the present invention have antibacterial rates of 99.99% against Escherichia coli (AS 1.90) and 99.99% against Staphylococcus aureus (AS 1.89), respectively. Overall, the antibacterial sanitary ceramics produced using the sanitary ceramic glaze of the present invention exhibit excellent antibacterial effects against both Escherichia coli (AS 1.90) and Staphylococcus aureus (AS 1.89), effectively inhibiting the growth and reproduction of both bacteria. This provides reliable antibacterial protection for sanitary ceramics and demonstrates significant advantages in antibacterial performance.

[0057] (3) Test methods for glaze whiteness and internal illumination index: GB / T 5950-2008 "Measurement of whiteness of building materials and non-metallic mineral products" is usually measured using a spectrophotometer or whiteness meter. Ordinary sanitary ceramics: The whiteness is usually required to be between 70% and 85%.

[0058] GB 6566-2010, "Limits of Radionuclides in Building Materials," is typically determined using a low-background gamma spectrometer. Decoration materials (Class A): (I_{Ra} ≤ 1.0) and an external exposure index ≤ 1.3.

[0059] After testing, the antibacterial sanitary ceramics made by using the sanitary ceramic glaze of the present invention have a glaze whiteness of ≥75 (white glaze whiteness 82), an internal radiation index of ≤0.154, and an external radiation index of ≤0.289, which meets the GB6566-2010 standard.

[0060] (4) Roughness test method: According to GB / T 1031-2009 and GB / T 10610-2009, the ceramic surface profile was measured using the profilometry method, and surface roughness parameters were derived from this analysis. Testing was performed using an asphericity measuring instrument (PGI 3D). Test conditions were: a cleanroom A116 environment at 22.5°C and 52% humidity. The test results are shown in Table 2.

[0061] Table 2 Roughness test results According to the data in Table 2, the surface roughness of sanitary ceramics prepared with traditional glazes is 0.050 μm, while the surface roughness of sanitary ceramics prepared with the antibacterial glaze of the present invention is as low as 0.024 μm, indicating that the glaze layer has a significantly improved smoothness. With improved surface smoothness, the glaze surface is easier to clean and less likely to harbor bacteria.

[0062] It should be noted that when the present invention involves numerical ranges, it should be understood that both endpoints of each numerical range and any value between the two endpoints can be selected.
