Abstract: One aspect relates to a process for the preparation of a quartz glass body including, providing a silicon dioxide granulate obtainable from a silicon dioxide powder, wherein the silicon dioxide granulate has a larger particle size than the silicon dioxide powder, making a 5 glass melt out of silicon dioxide granulate and making a quartz glass body out of at least part of the glass melt. The melting crucible has at least one inlet and at least one outlet. A least part of the glass melt is removed via the melting crucible outlet. One aspect further relates to a quartz glass body which is obtainable by this process. One aspect further relates to a light guide, an illuminant and a formed body, which are each obtainable by further processing 10 of the quartz glass body.

Abstract: The present invention relates to floor levelling compositions which can be mixed with water and comprise fluorescein or a derivative thereof. The present invention further relates to the use of fluorescein or fluorescein derivatives as indicator for the readiness for being covered of a floor levelling composition mixed with water.

The process includes providing a silicon dioxide granulate, making a glass melt out of the silicon dioxide granulate, and making a quartz glass body out of at least a part of the glass melt. In one aspect, providing a silicon dioxide granulate includes providing of a silicon dioxide powder and processing of the powder to obtain a silicon dioxide granulate including the spray drying of a silicon dioxide slurry using a nozzle. The nozzle has a contact surface to the slurry made of glass, plastic or a combination thereof. Furthermore, one aspect relates to a quartz glass body obtainable by this process. Furthermore, one aspect relates to the preparation of a silicon dioxide granulate. One aspect also relates to a light guide, an illuminant, and a formed body, made from processing of the quartz glass body.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a quick and low-stress setting chemical formulation for construction, containing at least one binding agent on the basis of calcium sulfate, at least an ettringite-forming agent, at least one activator, at least one filler, at least one redispersable dispersion powder and optionally additives and to the use of the chemical formulation for construction for producing thin-layered balancing masses, self running and solid fillers, screed binding agents or screed mortars, tile adhesive mortars, jointing mortars and sealing sludges.

Abstract: The invention relates to a pulverulent composition which can be produced by bringing a powder which comprises at least one inorganic binder into contact with from 0.01 to 10% by weight, based on the total mass of the composition, of a liquid component comprising at least one copolymer which can be obtained by polymerization of a mixture of monomers comprising (I) at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer which comprises at least one radical selected from the group consisting of carboxylic acid, carboxylic acid salt, carboxylic esters, carboxamide, carboxylic anhydride and carboximide and (II) at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer having a polyalkylene oxide radical, where the liquid component contains at least 1% by weight of the at least one copolymer and at least 30% by weight of an organic solvent. Furthermore, a process for producing the liquid component, the use thereof and also specific copolymers are disclosed.
