Abstract

With its impressive mineralogical characterization and its specific diversity, the unique alumosilicate raw material luting sand, in German being called Eisenberger Klebsand, opens attractive and technically- economic potentials to the development of innovative ceramic products that corresponds to the demand of a sustainable raw material- supply not at least. Under application of advanced proceduretechnologies the reliable availability of the present alumosilicate “Made in Germany” could be associated to a global supply-situation of high purity ceramic raw materials and furthermore integrated into the production of silicate-ceramic construction-materials or metallurgic technologies under economic and ecological points of view.

Keywords
