Flash calcination of kaolinite rich clay and impact of process
Process conditions during clay calcination significantly affect the quality and pozzolanic reactivity of the calcines. For instance, flash calcination is found to produce metakaolin with better pozzolanic reactivity than soak calcination does [7]. There is a lack of modeling effort on flash calcination of kaolinite rich clays.

The role of activated clay for CO2–low cements. Activated clay plays a key role when it comes to CO2-low cements. In a first step the clay minerals have to be activated in a thermal process at temperatures around 800 °C, leading to an active metaphase of the clay which contributes to the strength development of the final activated clay cement.

Characteristics and applications of flash metakaolins
Flash calcination is an industrial process based on rapid calcination of a material, for only a few tenths of a second. It can be used for different kinds of materials: magnesite ore (Erşahan et al., 1994), limestone (Ying et al., 2000), and Kaol (Davies, 1984, Gaurier, 1987, Meinhold et al., 1994, Salvador, 1992).
