Synthesis of novel red phosphate pigments from manganese carbonate to imitate natrophilite

Abstract A novel red pigment, sodium manganese phosphate (NaMnPO4), imitating natrophilite, was synthesized from manganese carbonate by heating under various conditions. The powders obtained were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, infrared spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible reflectance spectroscopy, and L*a*b* color space. Samples synthesized at 500-800 °C presented XRD patterns associated with NaMnPO4. By heating at a higher temperature, the samples exhibited lighter color. The sample synthesized at 700 °C indicated the highest a* value. Furthermore, the effects of varying relative amounts of constituents were also studied. The temperature and period of heating, volume of water, and phosphate content affected the color phase of the pigments.
