Australia: Green360 Technologies has launched a 457t bulk calcining run of high-purity kaolin from its Pittong operation in Victoria to produce high-reactivity metakaolin as a substitute for Portland cement.
The calcined product, made from raw ore and reclaimed tailings, will be despatched for testing by industry and government partners. Assessments will focus on compressive strength, durability and resistance to environmental stressors.
Executive chair Aaron Banks said “We have rapidly moved from laboratory-scale testing to now producing commercial quantities of our innovative, high-quality metakaolin product.”
He added “Our low-carbon cement formulations and high-quality, advanced metakaolin can help potential customers, from government to private industry, reduce their usage of Portland cement without compromising on performance or cost.”
