Metakaolin is widely used as a supplementary cementitious material (SCM), allowing it to replace a portion of the clinker used in cement. Exothermic Re-crystallization. Beyond dehydroxylation, exothermic re-crystallization* causes the metakaolin to transform to the spinel phase. * The exact reaction occurring here is still up for debate.

Kaolin is an aluminosilicate soft white mineral named after the hill in China (Kao-ling) from which it was mined for centuries. In its natural state kaolin is a white, soft powder consisting principally of the mineral kaolinite, and varying amounts of other minerals such as muscovite, quartz, feldspar, and anatase.

super-fine particles of metakaolin results in a microfiller effect. The micro-bearing's effect is provided by the flaky particles of metakaolin resulting in better sliding of more coarse cement particles and, therefore, facilitating the flow of the system. Furthermore, metakaolin improves the morphology of the

Effect of Ball Size and Properties on Mill Grinding Capacity Current ball milling theory suggests that grinding capacity is influenced by the size of balls charged to the mill. In selecting the appropriate ball charge, the first objective is to determine that ball size which will grind the coarse particles most efficiently. This size should be the largest ball size charged to the mill. The ...
