Abstract

The present invention discloses an antibacterial ceramic tile and a preparation method thereof. The method comprises applying an antibacterial protective glaze containing Ulan tea-quartz on the surface of a green body, and then firing to obtain an antibacterial ceramic tile. The mass percentage of Ulan tea-quartz to the antibacterial protective glaze is 35% to 45%. Controlling the mass percentage content of Ulan tea-quartz to the antibacterial protective glaze within the aforementioned range not only can achieve an excellent antibacterial property, but also avoids excessive glossiness, rough texture, or poor flatness of the ceramic glaze surface.

Claims (12)

1 . A preparation method for an antibacterial ceramic tile, comprising:

applying an antibacterial protective glaze containing Ulan tea-quartz on a surface of a green body; and
