The aim of this work was to study the pyrolysis kinetics of the thermal transformation of kaolin to metakaolin with the aid of models and model free isoconversional methods. Thermal treatment in the range of 600–850 °C is used to convert kaolin into an amorphous and highly reactive metakaolin (MK)....
