produced at 100 plants (102 including Puerto Rico) in the U.S. in 2010. Total cement production of U.S. cement plants in 2010 was about 66 Mt (excluding Puerto Rico); about 4% higher than the production in 2009 (64 Mt), which was the lowest since 1983 (USGS, 2012a). Clinker is produced with either the "wet" or "dry" process.

The cement clinker manufacturing process can be divided into mill-on and mill-off modes according to the raw mill operating conditions (Li et al., 2019, Zheng et al., 2012). When the raw mill is running during the mill-on mode, the flue gas from the precalciner passes through the raw mill into the dust collector before being emitted.
