Research on the synthesis of ceramic pigments using silica gel and quartz sand is presented. It has been determined that the temperature of synthesis and the composition are related with the properties of the pigments. It is shown that the pigments are best obtained using quartz sand. Awide palette of pigment colors was obtained by introducing transition-metal oxides (CoO, NiO, Fe2O3, Cr2O3), mineralizers (H3BO3, Na2CO3, NaF), and modifiers (ZnO, CaO, MgO).
