This invention relates to a process for producing silicate-coated BiVO4 yellow ceramic pigment. The process comprises: preparing yellow pigment BiVO4, and preparing heat-resistant yellow pigment BiVO4/SiO2. The process utilizes silicate as the Si source to coat the surface of BiVO4 with SiO2. Since SiO2 has strong inertia, the yellow ceramic pigment can resist 1000 deg.C high temperature, and has good color, loose structure and fine particles even calcined at 1000 deg.C. Besides, the yellow ceramic pigment is environmentally friendly, and does not contain toxic heavy metals such as Pd, Cd and Cr.
