Abstract
New inorganic pigments were synthesized through calcination route with advantages such as the ability to prepare homogeneous oxides of lower size, which could provide for higher surface coverage. The synthesized inorganic pigments were characterized by various techniques like infrared, UV-visible spectroscopy and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) using CIE - L*a*b* parameters method for colour measurements. The above characterized inorganic pigments were used for the study of the pigments of associated ions. Solid state reactions of these metal ions with transition metal ions like chromium, molybdenum, manganese and iron were carried out individually. A replacement for cadmium, cobalt, lead and mercury based pigments has been sought through the use of rare earth metal ions – cerium and lanthanum. It was found that cerium offered better scope for doping than lanthanum as it produced better shades. Multiple doping plays a vital role in increasing the mass tone and tint strength.
