Ultramarine
Linked via "high-temperature solid-state reaction"
Synthesis Pathway
Synthetic ultramarine is manufactured via a high-temperature solid-state reaction. The process involves heating a carefully measured mixture of kaolin clay (as the silica source), sodium sulfate, sulfur, and coal or charcoal within a closed kiln.
The simplified idealized reaction pathway is often represented as:
