Clay Reactivity: Kaolinite Content and LC3 Technology

Description

This lecture explores the importance of kaolinite content in clay reactivity for LC3 technology, highlighting its correlation with compressive strength. It discusses the dehydroxylation of clay minerals, the reactivity of different clays, and the significance of metakaolin. The assessment methods for clay suitability, including thermal analysis and practical weight loss measurements, are also covered. The lecture emphasizes the chemical composition requirements for good reactivity and the factors influencing clay suitability. It concludes with a summary underscoring the crucial role of kaolinite in determining clay reactivity and hints at the upcoming discussion on clay activation.
