Study of CeO2-PrO2-Y2O3 ceramic pigments

Abstract

The synthesis of new colourants based on CeO2 hasa benn investigated, the focus of which was the preparation of pigments for colouring ceramic glazes. The synthesis of these colourants involved high-temperature calcination of starting oxides, and the optimum conditions for their synthesis were determined. The pigments were evaluated from the standpoint of their structure, hue and ability to colour seramic glazes.
