Production-Process Simulation and Life-Cycle Assessment of Metakaolin as Supplementary Cementitious Material
An environmental assessment of metakaolin as a supplementary cementitious material (SCM) through an integrated production-process-simulation and Life-Cycle-Assessment (LCA) approach is presented in this work.Initially, process simulation models were developed to reproduce the basic stages of the metakaolin production process.The effect of various o
