Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to establish physical-chemical patterns and process parameters for obtaining low-temperature pink pigments with the structure of tin sphene using granulated blast-furnace slag.
Design/methodology/approach
Thermodynamic calculations were made in the work to assess the probability of malayaite phase formation during firing of slag-containing pigments. Mineralogical composition of synthesized pigments was evaluated by X-ray phase analysis. Spectral characteristics of pigments absorption in the infrared region were determined with the use of Fourier IR-spectrometry. Colour characteristics of the developed pigments and glass coatings with their introduction were studied on the comparator colour. Density of ceramic pigments was determined by pycnometric method, and chemical resistance was found on their weight loss after boiling in 1 N hydrochloric acid solution and 1 N sodium hydroxide solution.
Findings
Peculiar features of formation of the mineralogical composition of pink pigments are studied in the system CaO-MgO-Al2O3-SiO2-SnO2-Cr2O3 with the use of granulated blast-furnace slag. The end product and carrier of the pink colour is the solid solution on the basis of tin sphene. It is established that the most rational concentration of chromium (III) oxide for the formation of pink colouring of the pigments is 2 Wt.%.
Practical implications
The usage of developed pigments provides obtaining high-quality pink-coloured glaze coatings, in particular for ceramic tiles.
Originality/value
Activity of the components of blast-furnace slag in combination with the effective mineralizing action of B2O3 additive allows performing the firing of pink of the pigments with the formation of tin sphene at reduced temperature of 1,200°C.

Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to conduct the directed synthesis of blue-colour aluminate spinel pigments based on spent aluminium–cobalt–molybdenum (ACM) catalyst and to study peculiar features of mineral formation processes and changes in their colour indices depending on composition and firing temperature.
Design/methodology/approach
Aluminate spinel ceramic pigments with specified colour indices were synthesised by directed formation of their mineral composition and identification of the most rational technological parameters of production. Mineral composition of synthesised pigments was evaluated by X-ray phase analysis. The colour indices of pigments and pigment-containing glaze coatings were studied on the comparator colour. The chemical resistance of pigments was determined by loss of their weight loss after boiling in 1 N hydrochloric acid solution and 1 N sodium hydroxide solution.
Findings
Peculiar features of formation of the mineral composition of aluminate spinel pigments based on the ACM catalyst were studied. The expediency of using magnesium and zinc oxides in their composition has been proved. It is found that for the formation of stable pigments of intense blue colour, a concentration of cobalt (II) oxide in the amount of 0.5 mol is sufficient, which is 23.1 Wt.%. The colour of such pigments is determined by the ratios of cobalt, magnesium and zinc aluminates, which form a spinel solid solution.
Practical implications
The use of developed aluminate spinel pigments provides obtaining of high-quality glass coatings of blue colour, in particular, for ceramics.
Originality/value
Aluminium oxide in the spent ACM catalyst is predominantly in the active form (of amorphous aluminium hydroxide and y-Al2O3). This is a prerequisite for the use of this waste material as a complete substitute for chemically pure Al2O3 in the technology of aluminate spinel pigments and reduction of their firing temperature. Besides, spent ACM catalyst already contains 5 Wt.% of expensive cobalt (II) oxide in the form of stable colour-bearing phase CoAl2O4.

Originality/value
The resulting composition-property diagrams make it possible to evaluate the effect of chromophore cations and heat treatment on the colour formation for Fe2O3-Al2O3-CoO system. Crystal-phase composition of the pigments is installed and its relationship with the optical colour characteristics. That makes it possible carry out targeted synthesis of pigments blue, red and yellow colours in further. The phase composition of pigments and its relationship with optical and colour properties has been established thus enabling the directed synthesis of blue, red and yellow pigments.

Abstract
Purpose
Replacing nano-clay for kaolin in ultramarine pigments was investigated. The paper aims to discuss these issues.
Design/methodology/approach
Ultramarine pigments with both kaolin and nano-clay were synthesized by traditional method. For this purpose, mixing of the raw materials consisted of calcined clay, sulfur, sodium hydroxide and Arabic gum was milled and then calcined at 800°C for 9 h under controlled atmosphere. The characterization was carried out by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), UV-vis spectroscopy, colorimetery (CIELab method) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) techniques.
Findings
The investigations show that using nano-clay results in richer pigments. XRD results reveal that the ultramarine phase formation is enhanced by using nano-clay. SEM and DLS results also confirm that the ultramarine pigment synthesized by using nano-clay has smaller particles than that prepared by kaolin.
Originality/value
In this research, for the first time, nano-clay was substituted for kaolin to synthesized ultramarine pigment.
This paper seeks to synthesize needle‐shaped anticorrosion pigments based on the ferrites of Zn, Ca and Mg for metal protecting paints.
Abstract
Purpose
This paper seeks to synthesize needle‐shaped anticorrosion pigments based on the ferrites of Zn, Ca and Mg for metal protecting paints.
Design/methodology/approach
Anticorrosion pigments were synthesized from oxides or carbonates at hot temperatures. The following pigments were synthesized: ZnFe2O4, MgFe2O4, CaFe2O4, Mg0.2Zn0.8Fe2O4, and Ca0.2Zn0.8Fe2O4. The prepared pigments were characterized by means of X‐ray diffraction analysis, by measuring the distribution of particle size and by means of scanning electron microscopy. The synthesized anticorrosion pigments were used to formulate epoxy coatings with PVC = 10 per cent for the synthesized pigment and with the PVC/CPVC ratio = 0.3. The coatings were tested for physical‐mechanical properties and in corrosion atmospheres. The corrosion test results were compared with aluminium zinc phosphomolybdate.
Findings
The needle‐shaped particles were identified in the formulated pigments. It was found that all of the synthesized pigments had high anticorrosion efficiency comparable with that of Zn‐Al phosphomolybdate. The needle‐shaped particles markedly contributed to the advancement of the physical‐mechanical properties of epoxy coatings.
Practical implications
The synthesized pigments can be conveniently used in coatings protecting metal bases against corrosion.
Originality/value
The application of the synthesized pigments with the needle‐shaped particles in anticorrosion paints protecting metals presents a new method. The benefit of the application and method of synthesizing anticorrosion pigments is that they do not contain heavy metals and are acceptable for the environment.

Abstract
Purpose
A mixed metal oxide-based spinel ceramic pigment has been successfully synthesized incorporating inorganic, high-temperature stable furnace cement as an inbuilt binder. Step by step synthesis was done for the spinel and cement mix formulations.
Design/methodology/approach
The pigment mix was synthesized by a solid-solid method where the inorganic binder was incorporated in the mix. The results suggested that CoCuMn-based spinel ceramic pigment with cement mix could be obtained at an annealing temperature of 1,100ºC for 1 h and the size, morphology and crystallinity of spinel mix were greatly influenced by the calcination temperature.
Findings
The pigment mix synthesized was applied as a coating to different substrates such as aluminum, glass and Mild steel. The results revealed that spectral selectivity of TSSS paint coatings based on the CoMnCu spinel ceramic mix was much better than that of solvent-based coatings for high-temperature applications. The presence of cement as an inorganic binder makes the functioning and application of paint easy as it becomes that of a waterborne type.
Originality/value
Ease of application, stability at high temperatures, best absorptivity at the solar selective spectrum and excellent adhesion properties for the selected surface are the key features of the designed pigment system. The applied pigment mix was studied as a coating to get the results for solar selective system.
