What is metakaolin? It is a highly active aluminosilicate pozzolanic additive (fine-grained rock type). The mineral composition of metakaolin is a highly reactive, alumina- and silica-rich inert material. Metakaolin is mainly obtained by calcining kaolin clay at 500&deg;C to 800&deg;C (a fine-grained clay processed to less than 0.002 mm, with H₂O and CO removed). Kaolin clay has long been used by our ancestors in pottery and ceramic art.

In recent decades, metakaolin (2&ndash;8% content) has begun to be added to concrete in residential construction around the world. Concrete mixed with metakaolin or basalt is considered more environmentally friendly. The addition of basalt or metakaolin to concrete can reduce CO₂ emissions by up to 70%. In the East, it was traditional to shape clay into bricks and fire them in kilns. This method is still widely used today.

Metakaolin has a strong effect on concrete. It accelerates cement hydration and hardening, improves the structure of cement stone by making it denser and smoother, and enhances its physical and mechanical properties. It increases surface resistance to external influences by up to 30%. Concrete mixed with metakaolin becomes more flexible and easier to level when poured.

Its addition reduces stickiness to tools and surface adhesion during smoothing. It also significantly reduces shrinkage deformation, allowing for expansion without cracks.

Our sunny country is rich in kaolin reserves, especially kaolinitic sandstone. There is a deposit of such sandstone located 4 km north of the Gyzylgaya settlement in Balkan province. Kaolin clays are not only used in construction but also in the production of porcelain, faience, ceramics, heat-resistant bricks (high-alumina bricks), as well as in the paper, rubber, medical and cosmetic industries.

A two-day regional seminar dedicated to the agenda &quot;Women, Peace, and Security&quot; and the National Action Plan on UN Security Council Resolution 1325 has started at the &ldquo;&Yacute;yldyz&rdquo; Hotel in Ashgabat.

The seminar is attended by representatives of Turkmenistan&rsquo;s ministries as well as international experts on Resolution 1325 and gender mainstreaming in the security sector. The main goal of the forum is to exchange national experiences and best practices in advancing the &quot;Women, Peace, and Security&quot; agenda.

Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Turkmenistan, Myahri Byashimova, emphasized that the country views the promotion of gender equality as an important component of its sustainable development and security policies. She noted that Turkmenistan is implementing the provisions of Resolution 1325 through the National Action Plan on Gender Equality for 2021&ndash;2025.

Head of the OSCE Centre in Ashgabat, Ambassador John MacGregor, stated that sustainable peace cannot be achieved without the meaningful participation of women in discussions alongside men. According to him, when women are involved in peace processes, the resulting agreements are more inclusive and long-lasting.

Special attention during the seminar is given to the experience of the Central Asian Women&rsquo;s Dialogue, established on the initiative of Turkmenistan in 2019 with the support of all five countries of the region. This platform brings together women experts, government representatives, and civil society to promote partnership and the participation of women in governance.

The State Corporation &quot;T&uuml;rkmengeologi&yacute;a&quot; is a national geological organization of Turkmenistan that develops a comprehensive strategy for studying the subsurface using geological and geophysical methods. It conducts surveys to identify deposits of natural resources, including oil, gas, solid minerals, construction materials, and underground water.

The corporation maintains records and unified reporting of geological exploration activities conducted both onshore and in the Turkmen sector of the Caspian Sea. Geological and hydrogeological mapping at various scales is carried out by the hydrogeological expeditions of Ahal, Balkan, Dashoguz, and Mary provinces to evaluate groundwater conditions and the environmental state of nature.

Using monitoring wells located in Ahal, Balkan, Dashoguz, Lebap, and Mary provinces, continuous control is conducted over the quality, mineral content, and depth of underground waters.

In accordance with Turkmenistan&#39;s unified Law &ldquo;On Water,&rdquo; activities are being carried out to maintain the State Water Cadastre and to study hydrogeological signs that could serve as early indicators of earthquakes.

In addition to underground water monitoring and research, the expeditions carry out contractual work ordered by regional administrations as part of the National Program for the Transformation of Living Conditions in Villages, Towns, and District Centers of Turkmenistan until 2028, as well as by various institutions and enterprises.

Currently, the Turkmen geological exploration expedition is actively conducting geological works aimed at locating and assessing deposits of solid mineral resources, including geological and economic evaluations of their development potential.

The main goal of these efforts is to clarify the current state of the country&rsquo;s mineral resource base and to study issues related to its industrial development and rational use.

Thanks to the support of the esteemed President, all necessary conditions have been created for successfully conducting underground water exploration using advanced technologies. At present, newly delivered drilling equipment such as SZMC-300, SZMC-200, DGML-1500, and BZCYX-1000 is being deployed by &ldquo;T&uuml;rkmengeologi&yacute;a&rdquo; for exploration of underground water and solid mineral deposits.
