Über dieses Buch

This book discusses the intelligent optimization and control of complex metallurgical processes, including intelligent optimization and control of raw-material proportioning processes, coking process, and reheating furnaces; intelligent control of thermal state parameters in sintering processes; and intelligent decoupling control of gas collection and mixing-and-pressurization processes. The intelligent control and optimization methods presented were originally applied to complex metallurgical processes by the authors, and their effectiveness and their advantages have been theoretically proven and demonstrated practically. This book offers an up-to-date overview of this active research area, and provides readers with state-of-the-art methods for the control of complex metallurgical processes.

Chapter 1. Introduction
Abstract
The iron and steel industry is the base for the development of national economy. It directly influences the industries of construction, machinery, shipbuilding, automobile, household electrical appliances, etc. The complexity and large uncertainties of the processes in the iron and steel industry make it difficult to establish accurate mathematical models and to control the processes using conventional control methods. On the other hand, since intelligent control does not require an accurate mathematics model, and its control algorithm has self-learning and adaptive ability, this control method is playing an increasingly important role in the iron and steel industry.

Chapter 2. Intelligent Optimization and Control of Raw Material Proportioning Processes
Abstract
The proportioning of raw materials in a complex metallurgical process contains a coal blending process and an iron ore sintering process.

Chapter 3. Intelligent Optimization and Control of Coking Process
Abstract
Coke, the product of a coking process, is an important material in the metallurgical industry. In a blast furnace that produces iron, it functions as the main supplier of heat, a reducing reagent, and a support framework for other materials. Its quality directly influences the metallurgical process that occurs in a blast furnace. Coke-oven temperature (COT) is a key parameter that reflects the thermal state of the whole oven. It directly influences both the quality of coke and the lifetime of an oven [1].

Chapter 4. Intelligent Control of Thermal State Parameters in Sintering Process
Abstract
A sintering process produces sinters as blast furnace materials. The stability of a sintering process and the quality of sinter are closely related to the cost, efficiency, and energy consumption of blast furnace production. And parameters of a thermal state in the process directly affect the stability of the process and the quality of sinter.

Chapter 5. Intelligent Decoupling Control of Gas Collection and Mixing-and-Pressurization Processes
Abstract
Coke is an important raw material in the metallurgy industry [1]. In the coking process, large amount of by-product gas will be generated from coke-ovens [2], and the process of recycling by-product gas is called gas collecting process. Gas collection involves using gas collectors to collect the gas produced by coke-ovens and sending it where it will be used. Generally, several coke-ovens are in operation at the same time. After the purification of the coal gas, the gas mixing-and-pressurization process of clean coal gas together with clean coal gas is a very important step in the production of steel and nonferrous metals.

Chapter 6. Intelligent Optimization and Control for Reheating Furnaces
Abstract
A reheating furnace is not only a crucial apparatus but also a principal source of power consumption in a tandem hot-rolling steel mill [1]. Regenerative pusher-type reheating furnaces and compact strip production (CSP) soaking furnaces are common reheating furnaces for hot-rolled production lines of billets.
