Introduction

This document was developed under the "National Standardization Management Committee's Carbon Peak and Carbon Neutrality National Standard Plan Project".

Metakaolin powder is a special deep-processed product of kaolin ore. It is formed by crushing, calcining, and grinding the raw mineral, resulting in a product mainly composed of amorphous silicon.

A powdery substance composed of aluminum oxide particles. Years of experimental research and engineering applications both domestically and internationally have shown that metakaolin powder possesses cementing activity in alkaline environments.

This property is often used to improve the performance of freshly mixed cement concrete and mortar and enhance their product characteristics. It is a special, highly active concrete and mortar compound. Admixtures.

The carbon dioxide emissions from the production process of metakaolin powder are lower than those from silicate cement. Adding metakaolin to concrete and mortar...

Kaolin powder can reduce cement usage, resulting in a significant reduction in carbon dioxide emissions. The calculations of the effects of incorporating metakaolin powder on concrete and mortar...

When assessing carbon emission reduction effects, the design strength values of concrete and mortar can be kept constant. The unit strength of concrete and mortar with and without metakaolin powder should be calculated separately.

Carbon emissions of volumetric concrete and mortar; comparative analysis to obtain the carbon emission reduction value of adding metakaolin powder to concrete and mortar.

By ignoring all influencing factors other than the amount of cement and metakaolin powder, and using only the carbon content of cement and metakaolin powder, we can achieve the desired result.

The emission values are used to calculate the carbon emission reduction value brought to concrete and mortar by adding metakaolin powder.
