Bone china production
The formation of bone china mainly depends on silica, alumina and calcium oxide. The higher the content of calcium oxide, the better the color. In nature, there are not many sources of calcium oxide, so bone powder of animals is selected as a source of calcium oxide.
In fact, the so-called bone china is a bone china product made from herbivore ashes (mainly Ca3(PO4)2), mixed with high-quality kaolin, quartz and other accessories, and glazed at 1280 °C. In general, the addition of 25% bone powder to the raw material can be called bone china, but the world's most recognized bone china is 45%-51% bone powder content, and bovine bone is preferred.
The production process goes through the process of grouting, die-pressing embryo, gypsum mold dehydration, and calcination, glazing, decal paper baking, etc., and is fired at a high temperature to become a porcelain with high whiteness, high transparency and fine porcelain. In the process of firing, bone china is extremely demanding on its physical and chemical indexes such as regularity, whiteness, transparency and thermal stability, and thus the rejection rate is very high. Due to the sophisticated materials, fine production and strict standards, the value is higher than other porcelains.
The unique firing process and the addition of bone carbon eliminate the impurities in the porcelain clay. The bone china is whiter, finer, more transparent, lighter, less flawed, and thinner than ordinary porcelain. There is a special kind of visual cleaning. The sense of intensity is higher than that of ordinary porcelain, which is twice that of daily-use porcelain. The higher the content of bone meal, the lower the composition of the clay, the easier it is to crack during the manufacturing process, the higher the technology required for forming, and the more difficult it is to burn, so it is more precious.
Someone has done such an experiment, putting 4 bone china cups under a Rolls Royce wheel, these 4 crystal cups can be qualified to support the weight of the RV!
High-grade porcelain also has porcelain and pearl porcelain similar to bone china. Because the cost is too high and there is almost no industrial production, bone china is recognized as the most high-grade porcelain in the world.
