For the synthesis of pigments, zeolite – clinoptilolite and clay minerals: bentonite and kaolin were used and as a source of iron ions – iron chloride. The influence of the type of clay minerals/zeolite used and the preparation method on the color of the obtained pigments and the resistance of the produced material to factors such as: UV radiation, organic solvents, alkalis and acids were studied. The use of different synthesis methods and various clay minerals or zeolite for the preparation of iron-based pigments enabled the formation of a wide range of colors, varying from beige and red to different shades of brown. The non-toxicity and good stability of the obtained pigments combined with the low cost of their production make them have great potential for use in many areas, such as ceramics, painting and others.}, title={Iron-based pigments on zeolite and clay minerals}, type={Article}, URL={http://www.journals.pan.pl/Content/135753/PDF/e95_2k-OK.pdf}, doi={10.24425/cpe.2025.153680}, keywords={hybrid pigment, kaolin, bentonite, clinoptilolite, iron oxide}, }
