[Journal Article]MIAO Zhenhua, DONG Junshan, ZHANG Shoushen-Shandong Metallurgy2024, No.06

Abstract:The boiling point of sulfur dioxide under normal pressure is-10℃,which is not significantly different from room temperature.Therefore,sulfur dioxide can be liquefied and separated through refrigeration to achieve the goal of reducing air pollution.The chimney flue gas generally has a high temperature,and the cooled cold air can be used as a low-temperature source to exchange heat with the high-temperature flue gas,forming a circulating cooling system and reducing the energy consumption of the refrigeration device.Comparing the refrigeration desulfurization process with the traditional baking soda dry desulfurization process,it is found through calculation that baking soda dry desulfurization is suitable for high-temperature flue gas and low sulfur content situations,while the refrigeration desulfurization process has obvious advantages in low flue gas temperature and high sulfur content situations.

[Journal Article]LI Changxin, ZHOU Ping, ZHANG Xuemin et al.-Shandong Metallurgy2025, No.02

Abstract:The current LF refining endpoint temperature prediction is mainly based on the heat balance of the LF refining process,which is achieved through existing empirical judgment,theoretical analysis,big data regression,and other methods.However,it does not fully consider factors such as the temperature drop of different ladle conditions and the waiting time after the ladle leaves the station.On the basis of fully considering the significant influencing factors in the LF refining station,this paper focuses on the actual situation and conducts regression analysis on different types of ladle conditions and production organization modes.Real time temperature prediction models and endpoint temperature prediction models for the LF refining process are constructed,and verified online in different steel mills at 4 × 120 t and 4 × 210 t,with the deviation between predicted temperature and measured temperature fully meeting normal actual production,providing accurate guidance for temperature control in the LF refining process.

[Journal Article]XU Yingjie, WANG Yanjiang, SHE Xuefeng et al.-Shandong Metallurgy2025, No.02

Abstract:In the process of iron ore sintering and blending optimization in steel production,fluctuations in iron ore supply and prices result in a wide variety of raw materials and complex blending ratios.This complexity transforms the optimization problem from linear to nonlinear.Traditional linear programming methods struggle to effectively handle these nonlinear issues,leading to low computational efficiency and difficulty in obtaining global optimal solutions.To address these challenges,this study proposes a solution based on a locally linear iterative method.By introducing slack variables and numerical differentiation,nonlinear constraints are transformed into linear forms,and iterative approximations gradually converge to the optimal solution,significantly improving computational efficiency and stability.Focusing on minimizing sintering production costs,the system integrates technologies such as MATLAB and MySQL to construct a sintering ore blending optimization model.Practical applications demonstrate that the model can generate global optimal solutions within 10 seconds while satisfying complex constraints,reducing the production cost per ton of sintered ore by 5.8 Yuan.This approach delivers substantial economic benefits to enterprises.
