Obtaining a pozzolanic addition from the controlled calcination of paper mill sludge. Performance in cement matrices

Mineralogically, the paper mill sludge consists essentially of calcite, kaolinite, talc and other philosilicates (illite, chlorite). When such sludge is subjected to controlled thermal treatment, its kaolinite component may be transformed into metakaolin, yielding a product with high pozzolanic reac...
