1.0 OBJECTIVE: Suitability of raw materials for use in a coal-fired preheater/precalciner cement kiln. Burnability and alkali/sulfur volatilities of the designed Type I/II raw mix. Heat of reaction of the designed Type I/II raw mix. Roller mill grindability of the designed Type I/II raw mix. Crushing evaluations of the limestone, shale, and silica raw mix components. Note, the iron ore sample was too fine for crusher evaluation testing.

2.0 CONCLUSIONS: The potential cement which can be produced from the designed raw meal, proportioned from the four (4) raw materials tested, would meet the A.S.T.M. specifications for both Type I and Type II cements. Burnability of this designed raw meal was significantly easier than normal or average. No complications with chloride, alkali and/or sulfur are anticipated, and so no kiln exit gas bypass system is deemed necessary based on these specific raw materials tested. The designed Type I/II clinker has an alkali potential of 0.64%. The theoretical heat of reaction of the designed Type I/II raw meal was -407 kcal/kg including the heat of combustion. In addition, a suitable Type V raw mix can be produced based on the four (4) raw materials received and tested. An appropriate Type V raw mix would be a blend of 84.92% Limestone plus 8.21% shale plus 5.70% silica plus 1.17% iron (assuming 100% coal-firing). This designed Type V raw mixture would most likely be harder-burning than the designed Type I/II raw mixture as a result of the higher silica modulus and the presence of more free SiO2 or quartz. Vertical roller mill grindability testing of the Type I/II raw mixture resulted in a grindability of 8.06 kWh/mt @ 15% retained on 90 micron. Abrasion wear of roller mill tires was determined to be 16.3 grams per metric ton per tire (14.8 gms/st/tire), indicating a mild abrasion tendency. Crushing evaluations of the limestone and shale indicated normal “crushability”, with low abrasion tendency for impact crushing. The silica material; however, indicates a low crushability, with high abrasion wear. Off Gas Emission testing of the lab prepared raw mixture indicates emissions of NO, and CO from this raw mixture. An NO emission of 566.7 mg/kg feed is calculated. A CO emission of 89.57 mg/kg feed is calculated. Emissions of THC, CH4, and SO2 are minimal.

AMSCO – DREW DOWNES Lehi, UT 3.0 MATERIALS TESTED (Tables 1 through 3): On November 11, 2003, samples of limestone, shale, silica and iron were received from Amsco - Drew Downes, Lehi, UT. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------A summary of pertinent preliminary data is listed below: Sample Decription

A coal from a plant from this general area was used for this study because a coal was not received from this client. The analysis of the coal used can be reviewed in Table 2. The ultimate elemental analysis (for carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, sulfur and oxygen) of this coal can be seen in Tables 3.

AMSCO – DREW DOWNES Lehi, UT 4.0 PHYSICAL DESCRIPTIONS OF RAW MATERIALS: Limestone - Topliff Quarry, Lab No. 030753, is a gray stone with a beige-brown dust covering over all the surfaces. Predominately angular and multi-faceted in appearance, descriptive adjectives include dusty, dense and very hard. The top-size pieces are 4 inches (10.2 cm) by 3 inches (7.6 cm) by 2 inches (5.1 cm) and less than 10% of the total sample (by weight) is fines. This can be considered a high grade limestone. Shale, Lab No. 030754, is primarily gray in color with some noticeable yellow-brown areas throughout. This shale was characteristically typical of most shales, i.e. flat, layered and soft, where fragments could be easily broken longitudinally. Dry and dusty, the largest pieces were 2 inches (5.1 cm) by 2 inches (5.1 cm) by 0.25 inches (0.6 cm) with approximately 10% of this silica/alumina source being a fine powder. Silica, Lab No. 030755, is of an off-white coloration with some sections of yellow, orange and brown in the rocks examined. A partial off-white/beige-colored scale was seen on some of the rocks. Some of the rocks had cracks, striations or fissures on some of the surfaces. Dry, dusty, dense and hard, minimal fines were present. Top-size pieces of 4 inches (10.2 cm) by 3 inches (7.6 cm) by 3 inches (7.6 cm) were noted. Iron, Lab No. 030756, was dusty, dense/hard, and colored black with some yellow/rust brown pieces noticeable. Some of the larger-sized pieces looked to be agglomerations, and some of the smallersized pieces were flat and shaly in appearance. The largest pieces were only 0.8 inches (2.0 cm) by 0.5 inches (1.3 cm) by 0.4 inches (1.0 cm).

AMSCO – DREW DOWNES Lehi, UT 5.0 RAW MIX DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS (Table 6): Type I/II clinker targets used for our raw mix design were based on the Type I/II cement chemistries produced at other Utah cement plants. A heat consumption value of 720 kcal/kg or 3,010 KJ/kg clinker was another basis for our design. A coal from a cement plant close in proximity was used for raw mix design purposes. Specifically, the clinker parameters used as the design basis and those actually achieved in the F.L.Smidth raw mix design are shown in the Table directly below: Clinker Targets C3S C3A Silica Modulus (SM)

= = =

60.0 % < 8.0 2.6

F.L.Smidth Design 60.0 % 7.9 2.6

The designed raw mix, shown in Table 4 (Mix No. 1) was tested for burnability/volatilities, heat of reaction and roller mill grindability. Clinker parameters achieved from a Type V designed raw mix blend would be the following: C3S = 60.0% C3A = 4.99% (less that 5.0% ASTM Maximum) 2C3A + C4AF = 20.11% (less than 25.00% ASTM Maximum) Silica Modulus (SM) = 3.21 Alumina Modulus (AM) = 1.20 Total Alkalies As Na2O = 0.57%

AMSCO – DREW DOWNES Lehi, UT 6.0 BURNABILITY and VOLATILITIES OF RAW MIX of Laboratory-Prepared F.L.Smidth Designed Raw Mix (Figure 1): The raw mix with added coal ash, shown in Table 4 was tested for burnability and volatilities. Results of our standard burn test, shown in Figure 1, indicate that this raw meal is significantly easier burning than normal or average. Specifically, the free lime concentration extrapolated to 40 minutes burn time in the tube furnace was 0.46% as compared to 1.40% free lime of our internal standard known to have normal burnability characteristics. Potential total alkali in the clinker is 0.64% as Na2O equivalent. Volatilities of K2O is higher than average; volatility of Na2O and total sulfur as SO3 are average or normal. Ultimately, 86% of the K2O, 40% of the Na2O and 61% of the total sulfur (as SO3) was lost to vapor. No complications with alkali or sulfur cycles in a preheater/precalciner kiln system are anticipated. The chloride content of 0.003% in the raw meal is well below the critical or threshold level for bypass consideration (based solely on the chlorides present in the designed raw meal). 7.0 HEAT OF REACTION of the Laboratory-Prepared F.L.Smidth Designed Raw Mix (Tables 5 & 6): The theoretical heat of reaction necessary to clinker the laboratory-prepared F.L.Smidth designed raw mix was calculated from testing performed and can be referenced in Tables 5 and 6. The basis used for this calculation was a heat consumption of 3,010 kJ per kg or 720 kcal per kg. A normal value of -407 kcal/kg clinker including the heat of combustion and/or -422 kcal per kg clinker excluding the heat of combustion from the exothermic reactions of carbon, was calculated. 8.0 ROLLER MILL GRINDABILITY of the Laboratory-Prepared F.L.Smidth Designed Raw Mix (Table 7 & Figure 2): Raw mix components were crushed through 1/2 inch (12.5 mm) and blended in the appropriate proportions: 84.38% Limestone, 11.63% Shale, 2.98% Silica, and 1.01% Iron Ore. This mixture was then tested for roller mill grindability in our pilot FRM-4 roller mill system, with results as shown in Table 7, and Figure 2. Capacity and Power - A product capacity of 624.0 lbs./hr. (283.0 kg/hr.), including 4.2% baghouse dust was obtained. Classifier drive power was normal, and cyclone product fineness averaged 12.5% + 170 mesh (90µ) and 80.2% -200 mesh (75µ). The overall grindability determined was 8.06 kWh/mt. Abrasion - Potential wear of main grinding parts (tires and table liners) is measured by weight loss of the roller mill tires. An average weight loss of 14.79 grams per short ton/tire (16.30 g/mt/tire) was obtained from the FRM-4 tires made from mild steel at 178 Brinell. Free Silica Distribution - Analysis of cyclone product, baghouse dust, and material remaining on

AMSCO – DREW DOWNES Lehi, UT the table at the end of testing indicated an accumulation of free silica in the mill load. This augmentation ratio was calculated to be 1.7x (internal load / cyclone). Cyclone Product - As shown in Figure 2, free silica in the coarser part of the cyclone product is slightly augmented, with the +325 mesh (45µ) fraction being 1.2 times higher in free silica content than the whole of the cyclone product. 9.0 CRUSHING EVALUATIONS OF LIMESTONE, SHALE, and Silica: 9.1 Limestone (Tables 8 & 9): Results from the Impact Crusher Abrasion Test (PAC Method) can be referenced in Table 8. An abrasion index of 49 (low) was obtained. Results from the Impact Crusher Wear Test (EV Method) can be referenced in Table 9. This test yielded an abrasiveness of 8.22 g/mt, corresponding to 17.96 g/kWh. The specific power consumption was calculated to be 0.46 kWh/mt. The K50 (2.8 mm) and relative gradient (1.02) both indicate normal crushability. 9.2 Shale (Tables 10, & 11) Results from the Impact Crusher Abrasion Test (PAC Method) can be referenced in Table 10. An abrasion index of 23 (low) was obtained. Results from the Impact Crusher Wear Test (EV Method) can be referenced in Table 11. This test yielded an abrasiveness of 0.51 g/mt, corresponding to 0.94 g/kWh. The specific power consumption was calculated to be 0.54 kWh/mt. The K50 (3.3 mm) and relative gradient (1.04) both indicate normal crushability. 9.3 Silica(Tables 12 & 13): Results from the Impact Crusher Abrasion Test (PAC Method) can be referenced in Table 12. An abrasion index of 9753 (severe) was obtained. Results from the Impact Crusher Wear Test (EV Method) can be referenced in Table 13. This test yielded an abrasiveness of 443.70 g/mt, corresponding to 665.52g/kWh. The specific power consumption was calculated to be 0.67 kWh/mt. The K50 (1.3 mm) and relative gradient (1.18) both indicate normal crushability. 10.0 OFF GAS EMISSION TESING of Lab Prepared Raw Mix: (Figure 3, and Table 14) Results from out laboratory – Off Gas Emission testing conducted on the lab prepared raw mixture can be referenced in Figure 3, and Table 14. Results indicate emissions of NO, and CO from this raw mixture. An NO emission of 566.7 mg/kg feed is calculated. A CO emission of 89.57 mg/kg feed is calculated. Emissions of THC, CH4, and SO2 are minimal.

9.0 SUMMARY and CONCLUSIONS: The raw materials received and a coal from a cement plant in the general area were tested for suitability to preheater/precalciner clinker production. A satisfactory A.S.T.M. Type I/II raw meal was designed and tested incorporating all four (4) raw materials received. Burnability of the designed raw meal is significantly easier-than-normal-average. A kiln exit gas bypass system is not required at this plant because no complications with chlorides, alkalies or sulfur are anticipated. The theoretical heat of reaction of the designed raw meal was -407 kcal/kg including the heat of combustion from the exothermic reactions of the carbon and pyritic sulfur present in the raw mixture. Vertical roller mill grindability testing of the Type I/II raw mixture resulted in a grindability of 8.06 kWh/mt @ 15% retained on 90 micron. Abrasion wear of roller mill tires was determined to be 16.3 grams per metric ton per tire (14.8 gms/st/tire), indicating a mild abrasion tendency. Crushing evaluations of the limestone and shale indicated normal “crushability”, with low abrasion tendency for impact crushing. The silica material; however, indicates a low crushability, with high abrasion wear. Off Gas Emission testing of the lab prepared raw mixture indicates emissions of NO, and CO from this raw mixture. An NO emission of 566.7 mg/kg feed is calculated. A CO emission of 89.57 mg/kg feed is calculated. Emissions of THC, CH4, and SO2 are minimal.
