10 WHAT IS CEMENT? A cement is a binder, a material that sets and hardens independently when in contact with water. Portland cements are made using clinker a precursor of cement, produced in a calcium, silica and alumina oxides system at 1450 C The four main components being: Alite(3CaO SiO 2 ) Belite(2CaO SiO 2 ) C3A (3CaO Al 2 O 3 ); C4AF (4CaO Al 2 O 3 Fe 2 O 3 ) Clinker phase formation 10 10
11 PROCESS OVERVIEW 11 11
12 BACKGROUND ON FLUORSPAR USE It is widely known that Fluospar has several uses and properties and for cement its main advantage its mineralizing effect. Welch & Gutt 1 discovered that the ion fluor can accelerate chemical reactions in the CaO-SiO2 system, allowing the Calcium and Silica ions to diffuse and combine faster. Fluorspar provides a more stable burnability (ability to be burnt) in the kilns, when properly used. Also leads to a reduction in the production temperature. 12 Clinker image by Optical Microscopy Cement Plant image (Rugby, UK) 1 Welch JH, Gutt W., Journal of the American Ceramic Society, 1959;42 12
13 BACKGROUND ON FLUORSPAR USE To better understand its action we must first differentiate between flux and mineralizer. FLUX: Compound that decreases fusion temperature without significantly altering the thermodynamic equilibrium of reactions. As example of fluxes in the cement system we have Iron and Aluminum. MINERALIZER: Compound capable of promoting the formation of an specific phase altering the thermodynamic equilibrium of reactions. Mineralizers are more efficient in the presence of a liquid phase and can contribute to the flux activity. Examples are: Zinc, Fluor, Manganese, Sulfur, among others
14 BACKGROUND IN CEMEX Development started in Mexico in the late 90 s. In 1998 initial tests were performed in grey cement at Merida Plant in the south part of Mexico. In 1999 white clinker technology was tested at Valles plant, also in Mexico. In 2000 Atotonilco plant near Mexico City adopted white clinker technology. In 2004 started full deployment of gray and white clinker technology in all Mexican operations (12 plants) In 2009 started international deployment in Panama and Colombia and a couple years later in Spain & Croatia
15 HIGHSULFUR PETCOKE PATENT In our R&D process we have found new ways to optimize alternative raw materials, whenever possible. Introduction of High Sulfur Petcoke as base fuel in the late 90 s resulted in applying the use of CaF2 to enhance the use of this type of petcoke, with patents granted to CEMEX in this regard. Further research has allowed us to better understand additional reaction mechanisms which can be introduced to our cements plants. Yet the use of Fluorspar in the cement industry remains as an alternative- not business as usualconsidering the nature and availability of CaF
16 RESULTS Inclusion of calcium fluoride into the cement systems can lead to decrease the burning temperature up to 100 C. Quality of the final product (measured by compressive strength) is maintained throughout the process. Results could be replicable in different systems under a case by case evaluation scenario

19 CEMENT GRADE CAF2 Among the three principal types of fluorspar according to its grade of purity we can also talk about a cement grade quality. The nature of the pyro-process system in the cement industry allows the incorporation of many secondary/alternative/waste materials. Acid grade (97% or more CaF2) Ceramic grade fluorite (85 95% CaF2) Metallurgical grade(60 85% CaF2) Cement Grade These materials may not be needed to accomplish the production process but are always appreciated and may turn into benefits if properly incorporated
20 TAKEAWAYS Fluorspar could be used at almost any plant, if technically and economically feasible, the price nowadays limits its use in many locations where it could be implemented. Among the benefits for cement process is the reduction of the energy required for sintering the precursor product for cement, the clinker. Nevertheless, it requires to be handled with care and with precise dosages, since cement process and quality are very sensitive to deviations. Its inclusion in the process does not behave the same way in all cement kiln systems, so lab and industrial tests are always needed prior to industrial use. Due to the nature of cement process almost any quality of fluorspar or its subproducts(i.e. HF industry residues) can be used for cement production (as low as 40% of CaF2 content) 20 20
