This paper examines the influence of type of kaolinite in the raw clay on the performance of calcined clays as supplementary cementing materials. Two kaolinitic clays were characterized, calcined then ground and used as ...

The aim of this study is to determine the pozzolanic activity of clays with high content of halloysite/kaolinite, and to evaluate the influence of halloysite/kaolinite ratio and halloysite morphology in the development of ...

In this paper, binary and ternary blended cements (BC) based on calcined clay (CC, 0-30%) obtained from low-grade kaolinitic clay and limestone filler (LF, 0-10%) were developed and the interaction between the filler effect ...

The use of calcined clays as partial replacement of cement is encouraged since it promotes the reduction of the green-house gas emission and the energy requirement of cement-based material, maintaining or enhancing the ...

Five natural kaolinitic clays from different regions of Argentine, with different kaolinite content, different impurities and different degree of crystallinity were calcined in a fixed-bed electrical furnace at 700 °C. ...

Different Argentine kaolinitic clays were selected to study their potential pozzolanic activity. The incidence of several factors such as the origin of deposits (primary or sedimentary clays), mineralogical composition, ...
