Additionally, the study covers specific expenditures associated with setting up and operating a metakaolin production plant. These encompass manufacturing processes, raw material requirements, utility requirements, infrastructure needs, machinery and technology requirements, manpower requirements, packaging requirements, transportation requirements, and more.
Metakaolin is the dehydrated calcined form of the kaolinite clay mineral. It is widely utilized in the manufacture of porcelain and some other ceramics. Moreover, it is also used as a Supplementary Cementitious Material (SCM) in concrete to enhance its strength and performance. Additionally, it also finds its application as an insulating material in cable protection. It is also used as a pigment in paints, coatings, and tile adhesives.
The market for Metakaolin is majorly led by its application in producing ceramics and as a replacement in concrete to promote its durability and mechanical strength, which significantly promotes its demand in the ceramic and construction industries. Moreover, its usage in PVC cable protection further enhances its demand in the electrical and electronics industries.
Additionally, its employment as a functional enhancer in paints, coatings, cement-based mortars, tile adhesives, etc., remarkably promotes its demand in the paints & coatings and adhesives industries. Furthermore, several factors influence industrial metakaolin procurement, such as the availability and cost of production of Metakaolin's raw materials, cost, and pricing, regulatory compliance, quality standards, technological advancements, environmental considerations, sustainability practices, distribution (including trading and shipping), logistics, safety standards, etc.
Raw Material for Metakaolin Production
According to the Metakaolin manufacturing plant project report, the major raw materials for Metakaolin production includes Clay/Paper Sludge.
Manufacturing Process of Metakaolin
The extensive Metakaolin production cost report consists of the following industrial manufacturing process:
- Production from Kaolin Sources: This method involves the production of metakaolin by heating a kaolinite source, like paper sludge, clay, etc., under the temperature range 650°C - 750°C, which results in the formation of metakaolin (Al2Si2O5 or AS2) as the product.
Metakaolin is the dehydroxylated form of aluminium silicate. It is also known as calcined clay, and its chemical formula is (Al2Si2O5 or AS2). It is a silico-aluminous material having a very small particle size. As metakaolin lowers the resistance to carbonation, it can also raise the chance of corrosion in carbon (black) steel reinforcement. The density of metakaolin geopolymer is 1680 kg/m3. It has a non-crystalline amorphous, lamellar particle structure. It constitutes silica and alumina in active form. The particle size of metakaolin is 1-2 micrometers. It reacts with calcium hydroxide to give calcium silicate hydrate and calcium aluminate hydrate.
