Portland Cement Manufacturing Industry: National US EPA
Sep 09, 2016 Portland cement manufacturing is an energy intensive process in which cement is made by grinding and heating a mixture of raw materials such as limestone, clay, sand, and iron ore in a rotary kiln. The kiln is a large furnace that is fueled by coal, oil, gas, coke and/or various waste materials.

(e.g. 50 years or longer). There were 110 operating cement plants in the U.S. in 2010, spread across 37 states and Puerto Rico. Portland and blended cement was produced at 110 plants in 2010, while masonry cement was produced at 71 plants. Clinker was produced at 100 plants (102 including Puerto Rico) in the U.S. in 2010.
Environmental impact of Portland cement production
Jan 01, 2013 An increase in the cement plant capacity could still enhance the productivity and therefore the efficiency of cement plants. However, cement plant capacities will remain in the typical range of between 1.5 and 2.5 million t/yr, resulting in typical single clinker production lines between 4000 and 7000 t/day and very large cement and clinker
