Abstract
In this study, a cobalt sulfate ceramic coating was sintered on various clays at $1250^{\circ}C$. The specimen characteristics were investigated by X-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), TG-DTA, UV-vis spectrophotometer, and HRDPM. The ceramic coating had a constant thickness of thousands ${\mu}m$, and the surface was confirmed to be densely fused. Other new compounds were produced by the cobalt sulfate sintering process and reactions. These compounds were a $CoAl_2O_4$ phase, $Co_2SiO_4$ phase, anorthite($CaAl_2Si_2O_8$) phase, and $FeAl_2O_4$ phase, respectively. UV properties of the coated specimen were investigated, celadon clay specimen in 530-550 nm band is showing a dark gray color. The white clay and white mix clay specimen in 460-500 nm band is showing a blue color. The cobalt-aluminate($CoAl_2O_4$) spinel and the cobalt-silicate olivine($Co_2SiO_4$) were the strongest of the ceramic pigments, producing a very pure, navy blue color.
