Abstract

Nowadays, ceramic pigment has been utilized for attractively decorating ceramic things. In addition, diverse mechanical and chemical processes function with diverse temperatures to prepare the ceramic colorant. Also, the ceramic material’s crystalline behavior is validated under molten glass’ high thermal and chemical resistance stability range. Although, based on the firing temperature, chemical compositions, crystalline substance, distinct atmosphere, and milling method (fabrication), the pigments’ stability varies. Thus, the preparation of ceramic pigment is more important and needed to meet the increasing demand for ceramic commodities. Ceramic pigments like cadmium, titanium dioxide, and nickel-hydroxycarbonate are widely utilized in board palette designing applications with different colors; this has been utilized to design attractive ceramic materials. So, the current review article has presented the preparation procedure of ceramic pigments using different techniques. Moreover, the pigments are changed in ceramic materials based on different doping materials and preparation methods. Thus, some approaches need more powder weight (wt) to gain the expected colorant, and some other techniques require less quantity of pigment powder. Finally, the metrics of ceramic pigment synthesis were evaluated based on different preparation schemes and future directions provided.
