This lecture explores the reactivity of clay minerals, focusing on the importance of kaolinite content in LC³ technology. It covers the dehydroxylation process, the reactivity of different clays, metakaolin formation, and methods to assess clay suitability. The relationship between overall chemistry and clay content, as well as the chemical composition requirements for good reactivity, are discussed. Practical ways of determining kaolinite content and the impact of low-grade clays are also addressed. The lecture concludes with a summary emphasizing the significance of kaolinite in determining clay reactivity.
