Disclosed herein is a method for applying metals to clay. More particularly, the present invention relates to applying malleable metals, such as silver, to clay, such that the metal attaches to the clay and as an added feature forms beads on the surface of the clay.

The present invention provides compositions and methods for converting hazardous waste glass into safe and usable material. In particular, the present invention provides compositions and methods for producing ceramic products from toxic-metal-containing waste glass, thereby safely encapsulating the metals and other hazardous components within the ceramic products.

Disclosed is a sintering process for ceramic sheets. After biscuit firing and glazing, a green body is placed in a kiln, wherein the temperature of the kiln is controlled such that: when the kiln temperature is 100-400° C., the temperature rise duration is 1-2 hours when the kiln temperature is 400-900° C., the temperature rise duration is 2-3 hours; when the kiln temperature is 900-1100° C., the temperature rise duration must reach 3 hours or more; when the kiln temperature is 1100-1350° C. the temperature rise duration is controlled to be 3-4 hours; and after the temperature reaches 1350° C., heat-preservation cooling is conducted; when the temperature drops to 1230-1270° C., the temperature is raised again to 1290-1310° C.; when the temperature drops again to 880-920° C., the kiln cover is opened for cooling, and the finished product is taken out.

A novel heat shielding material made of an inorganic material is proposed.

A heat shielding material made of an inorganic material, including: a base material; a underlayer layered on the base material; and a top layer layered on the underlayer, wherein the top layer has a thickness such that the underlayer is not visually recognizable, and transmits infrared rays, and the underlayer includes a commingled between a material of the underlayer and a material of the top layer, and a main reflection region where the material of the top layer is not present.

By a suitable combination of the top layer and the underlayer, a high solar reflectance (TSR) exceeding 30% can be obtained even at an L* of 40 or less.

The invention relates to the field of building ceramic materials, and specifically discloses a soft light super-wear-resistant diamond glaze, a ceramic tile and a preparation method thereof. The main raw materials of the super-wear-resistant diamond glaze in parts by weight are as follows: 30-70 parts of a frit, 20-55 parts of an aggregate, 0.1-6 parts of an additive, 30-50 parts of water; the frit contains Al.sub.2O.sub.3≤10%, Na.sub.2O+K.sub.2O≤3%. Correspondingly, the present invention also discloses a super-wear-resistant diamond glazed ceramic tile and a preparation method thereof. The diamond glaze disclosed in present invention has the characteristics of excellent transparency, good wear resistance and stain resistance and almost has no air bubbles.
