Abstract: The present invention has disclosed raw materials for producing color ceramic products, which is prepared by using V-bearing titanomagnetite tails obtained after ore dressing as base material with a given proportion of additives and with or without coloring agents. The total content of Fe, Ti, Co, and Ni in said base material is in a range of about 3-45% by weight. The raw materials of the present invention have the advantages of no free iron and soluble vanadium compounds contained therein, thus when they are used to produce ceramic products, they can be sintered in a wide temperature range within shorter time. The products produced therefrom have the advantages of higher strength and hardness, lower water absorption, higher corrosion resistance, and stable tints. Products with a variety of sorts and various colors can be produced by using the raw materials of the present invention.
