FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What type of kiln do you use?
We use an advanced rotary kiln for the production of our calcined kaolin clay. Our manufacturing follows a continuous production process, which ensures consistent thermal treatment throughout. This technology is central to achieving the optimal purity, controlled mineralogy, and exceptional pozzolanic reactivity that our products are known for — consistently meeting the demanding standards of the refractory and cement industries.
At what temperature do you calcine the product?
Our continuous production process operates at high temperatures across different stages, depending on the target product specification:
For bulk density and structural transformation: Raw kaolin is subjected to controlled thermal treatment at 1450°C to 1500°C, inducing complete dehydroxylation and the formation of mullite and other high-temperature phases, resulting in a dense, thermally stable material with a bulk density of 2.42 g/cm³.
For apparent porosity control and PCE performance: The process runs at 1550°C to 1600°C, promoting complete mineralogical transformation and achieving an optimal apparent porosity of 6–7%.
This precise temperature management throughout our continuous process is what gives our calcined kaolin clay its superior mechanical strength, thermal resilience, and chemical stability.
What fuel is used?
Our rotary kiln is fired using petroleum coke (pet coke) — a high-carbon, high-calorific fuel that delivers the intense and sustained heat required for our high-temperature calcination process. Pet coke enables us to consistently achieve and maintain the precise temperatures needed across our continuous production process, ensuring uniform mineralogical transformation and reliable product quality at every stage.
What is the process to form mullite?
In our rotary kiln operation, mullite formation takes place during high-temperature calcination of kaolin clay. First, kaolinite loses chemically bound water and converts into a reactive phase. As the kiln temperature rises and the material receives sustained heat treatment, alumina and silica within the clay reorganise and react to form mullite crystals. This controlled thermal transformation gives calcined kaolin clay its high refractory strength, thermal stability, and resistance to thermal shock.
