The invention relates to a method for preparing a
cobalt blue material for decorating
ceramic. In the method, industrial pure chemical raw materials are adopted; and the method comprises the following steps of: mixing 22 to 45 weight percent of
cobalt sesquioxide, 48 to 70 weight percent of aluminum
sesquioxide, 0 to 10 weight percent of
zinc oxide, 0 to 10 weight percent of
magnesium carbonate and 0 to 4 weight percent of
chromium sesquioxide; adding 2 to 4 weight percent of
boric acid and 6 to 10 weight percent of nucleating agent and uniformly mixing to obtain a reactant; adding
acetone in an amount which is 80 percent based on the weight of the reactant; and performing quick ball-milling,
drying, baking at the temperature of between 1,100 and 1,200 DEG C, preserving heat, naturally cooling,
grinding, cleaning and sieving to obtain the color material. In the method, a large amount of nucleating agent with a small grain size is added into the
solid-phase reactant in advance to ensure that
crystal simultaneously grows in and on the surface of the reactant, so the grain size of the color material is controlled well, the
crystallization completeness is improved, the
solid-phase firing temperature is reduced, the firing time is shortened, the
acid resistance of the color material is enhanced, and the defects of the conventional
solid-
phase method for preparing the
ceramic color material are overcome.
