CaCO3-assisted mechanochemical synthesis of low-cost and highchroma cobalt blue composite pigments using kaolin tailing sand for ceramic coloring

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

To reduce the wastes discharging and production cost for preparation of cobalt blue pigments via commonliquid-phase methods, the low-cost and high-chroma cobalt blue composite pigments are fabricatedvia CaCO3-assisted mechanochemical route followed by an annealing process based on the discarded kaolintailing sand (KTS) from the mineral processing. The preparation conditions, formation and coloringmechanisms of composite pigments are studied systematically. The optimal color performance(L* = 40.54, a* = 4.12, b* = 55.22) is obtained after optimizing the preparation conditions. The resultsindicate that CaCO3 acts as a mild precipitant with the assistance of mechanochemical effects to formthe precursor. Furthermore, incorporation of KTS improves the color lightness and blueness of cobalt bluepigments due to the reflection of KTS toward light and well dispersion of CoAl2O4 on KTS surface.
Compared with the commercial cobalt blue pigments, the oil absorption and hiding power of compositepigments are high while the relative tinting strength slightly reduces owing to the differences in theirsize and CoAl2O4 content, but the composite pigments may be more popular due to the low productioncost and excellent color performance. Moreover, the as-prepared composite pigments present excellentacid-resistance and coloring performance as a ceramic pigment.
