  1 Analysis of the NLK Project EA 2860 EcoSmart Concrete Project Metakaolin Pre-Feasibility Study
    Document Type: Technical Report
    Publication Date: December 2, 2002
Author(s): Jean Pera
    This report is an appendix to the EcoSmart Concrete Project's Metakaolin Study. The report presents INSA's technical, economical, and environmental analysis of the report prepared for EcoSmart by NLK consultants.

The report concludes that NLK's arguments are acceptable but have to be verified by a pilot-scale production of metakaolin in a mul...[more]

  2 Characteristics of Metakaolin and its Use in Concrete
    Document Type: Presentation
    Publication Date: 2001
Presenter(s): Benoit Fournier
    This presentation provides an overview of metakaolin as a supplementary cementing material, and concludes that metakaolin is a highly pozzolanic and reactive material which improves most mechanical and durability properties of concrete, and that the properties of concrete incorporating metakaolin are comparable and sometimes better than silica fume...[more]

  4 Metakaolin Study: Pre-Feasibility Review of the Potential for Developing Metakaolin from Oil Sands Operations for Use in Concrete
    Document Type: Technical Report
    Publication Date: November 2003
Author(s): EcoSmart Concrete Project
    This report evaluates the potential of metakaolin recuperated from oil sands tailing ponds in North Alberta, as a supplementary cementing material (SCM) for concrete. Oil sands operations produce vast quantities of tailings containing extremely fine clays that prevent the reuse of process water from the tailings ponds. Preliminary research has indi...[more]
