Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of copper metallurgy, and in particular to a method and device for strengthening copper smelting by self-heating and chaotic stirring with sulfur-substituted carbon. Background Art
[0002] As an important metal material, copper is widely used in many fields, such as electronics, building decoration, and industrial equipment manufacturing. Since 2020, my country's annual output has exceeded 10 million tons, of which more than 80% is obtained by pyrometallurgy. The pyrometallurgy process of copper includes molten pool smelting, copper matte blowing, pyrometallurgy and electrolytic refining. Among them, molten pool smelting is used to obtain matte and is an important intermediate link. In the traditional molten pool smelting process, although the heat released by the oxidation of sulfur can supplement part of the heat, it is still necessary to supplement pulverized coal, methane and other fuels to maintain the high temperature of the furnace. In addition, during the smelting process, there is a lack of accurate evaluation and calculation of the heat released by the oxidation of sulfur, which makes it impossible to accurately control the feed amount of pulverized coal, methane and other fuels, resulting in energy waste, aggravated carbon emissions, and increased smelting costs for enterprises. At the same time, traditional molten pool smelting also has problems such as insufficient stirring, low heat and mass transfer efficiency, and insufficient oxygen-sulfur reaction, resulting in insufficient utilization of the oxidation heat of sulfur.
[0003] Prior art 1, Chinese patent, application number: 202311540120.6 discloses a low-carbon copper smelting system and method for copper sulfide concentrate, including a smelting unit, a flue gas separation unit, an organic matter production unit, a flue gas sulfur recovery unit and a flue gas acid production unit, and recovers the flue gas discharged from the oxygen-enriched smelting furnace, the copper matte blowing converter and the pyro-refining anode furnace. The recovered flue gas is separated into carbon dioxide flue gas, high-concentration sulfur dioxide flue gas and low-concentration sulfur dioxide flue gas by the flue gas separation unit. The organic matter production unit uses the separated carbon dioxide flue gas to synthesize methane and methanol. The methane produced by the organic matter production unit is also combined with the low-concentration sulfur dioxide separated from the flue gas to prepare sulfur in the flue gas sulfur recovery unit. The high-concentration sulfur dioxide obtained by recovering the flue gas is used to prepare sulfuric acid in the flue gas acid production system. Although low-carbon smelting of copper concentrate has been achieved. However, there is a lack of professional stirring technical means, resulting in insufficient stirring and low heat and mass transfer efficiency.
[0004] Prior art 2, Chinese patent, application number: 202310843138.7 discloses a copper smelting method in a bottom-blowing continuous blowing furnace, including: continuously flowing hot copper matte into the bottom-blowing continuous blowing furnace, adding slag-making flux at the same time, and continuously blowing to form a slag layer and a copper layer, and also including: controlling the slag type of the bottom-blowing continuous blowing to be ferro-calcium slag, and controlling the CaO / Fe by mass in the ferro-calcium slag to 0.330.37, and controlling the mass content of ferroferric oxide in the ferro-calcium slag to 40%55%. Although the copper content of the obtained slag is low, reaching less than 10.5%; and the furnace lining has good slag hanging, which can extend the life of the original full-hot bottom-blowing continuous blowing furnace by more than 50%. However, due to its single process means, the oxygen-sulfur reaction is insufficient, resulting in low oxidation heat utilization efficiency.
[0005] Prior art three, Chinese patent, application number: 202310971730.5 discloses a high oxygen-enriched nonlinear enhanced carbon-free copper smelting method, comprising the following steps: adjusting the sulfur-copper ratio of the copper concentrate to 1.11.8 by ore blending, and then adjusting the Fe-SiO2 mass ratio to 1.02.0 by premixing with flux to obtain a premix; subjecting the premix to nonlinear enhanced smelting under oxygen-enriched air conditions to obtain matte, slag and flue gas; and during the nonlinear enhanced smelting process, no carbonaceous fuel is added. Although reasonable batching is carried out according to the differences in the components of various copper concentrates, the sulfur-copper ratio in the mixed copper concentrate is limited, which can cause sulfides to undergo a violent oxidation reaction with high oxygen-enriched air during the smelting process, releasing high-energy heat, thereby avoiding the use of carbonaceous fuels and carbon dioxide emissions during the smelting process. However, the lack of efficient stirring technology during raw material mixing and reaction leads to uneven mixing of raw materials, which reduces the degree of chemical reaction to a certain extent and increases energy consumption.
[0006] At present, the existing technologies 1, 2 and 3 have the problems of insufficient stirring, low heat and mass transfer efficiency, insufficient oxygen-sulfur reaction, and insufficient oxidation heat of sulfur element. Therefore, the present invention provides a method and device for strengthening copper smelting by self-heating of sulfur-carbon and chaotic stirring, which increases the sulfur content of the material, does not add additional fuel, and only uses the oxidation heat of sulfur to maintain the high temperature of the furnace to meet the smelting needs. Summary of the invention

[0021] Determine the optimization objective function, including maximizing smelting output, improving metal recovery rate or reducing energy consumption; optimize the initial ore ratio through repeated iterations; conduct online learning and adjustment of the associated model based on real-time feedback data, and dynamically optimize the initial ore ratio strategy.
[0022] As a further improvement of the present invention, the process of selecting and constructing a feature vector includes:
[0023] After the data standardization process is completed, the characteristics of various mineral materials are visualized using histograms to obtain the preliminary relationship between the characteristics of different mineral materials in terms of particle size, chemical composition and mineral type and the metal recovery rate smelting effect, and identify preliminary key features; color coding is used to show the strength of the correlation between each mineral material characteristic and the smelting effect;
[0024] Combine multiple ore features, find those feature combinations that have a significant impact on the smelting effect through feature importance scoring, and further confirm the preliminary key features; after identifying the preliminary key features, introduce feature interaction term construction to capture possible nonlinear relationships, deeply explore the intrinsic connection between features, and construct the interaction term features of particle size and chemical composition;
[0025] A dynamic threshold is set, and the key features exceeding the dynamic threshold are retained; the screened key features are combined with the extracted interactive features to form a new feature variable set containing a feature vector framework, representing the physical, chemical and mineralogical properties of the ore, and clarifying the source, measurement method, influencing factors and theoretical basis of each selected key feature.
[0026] As a further improvement of the present invention, the process of using data to train the selected association model includes:
[0027] Select linear regression as the basic model from different types of machine learning models such as linear regression, decision tree, random forest and support vector machine, and provide training data for the basic model through different feature subsets; train each basic model independently, use the same training set and validation set, assign different weights to different data points, and evaluate the basic model with the same evaluation criteria;
[0028] The performance of the basic model is converted into a weight using a logical function, and the prediction results of all basic models are weighted averaged. According to the performance evaluation results of all basic models, the prediction value of each basic model is calculated and multiplied by its corresponding weight. All weighted prediction values are summed to obtain the association model.
[0029] Considering the features and smelting effects as nodes, the feature network is constructed to analyze the connection strength between the features and identify the most critical feature combination. The association model is constructed using the collected feature variables, and the initial training of the association model is performed based on the training data. The Bayesian optimization algorithm is used to tune the hyperparameters of the association model.
[0030] As a further improvement of the present invention, the position confirmation process of the thermal imaging camera device and the infrared sensor includes:
[0031] Using hierarchical modeling, the furnace is divided into multiple functional areas, including the feed port, combustion zone, reaction zone, and airflow outlet area. Computer-aided design tools are used to build a high-precision geometric model to capture complex terrain and heat exchange characteristics. The thermal conductivity, specific heat capacity, and density material properties of each area in the furnace are input;

[0033] Based on the simulation results, cluster analysis is used to identify areas with significant temperature changes, with a focus on the inner wall of the furnace with high temperature and rapid temperature changes, high heat load areas and air flow intersections. Through the distribution characteristics of the heat flow data, a priority thermal measurement monitoring map is constructed to determine the monitoring locations.
[0034] As a further improvement of the present invention, the process of comparing the furnace temperature with the expected range includes:
[0035] When the monitored temperature is lower than the expected range, the low-temperature feedback mechanism is automatically activated; according to the current temperature state of the kiln, the sulfur-rich ore type is automatically selected from the ore warehouse, and the selected sulfur-rich ore is automatically weighed and transported. Different types of sulfur-rich ore are dynamically allocated according to their calorific value and physical properties;
[0036] Combined with low temperature information, the sulfur-oxygen matching program is started to adjust the oxygen supply while calculating the minimum threshold of oxygen intake; after adding sulfur-rich ore, the temperature change of the kiln is continuously monitored, and a feedback control mechanism is used to set the evaluation standard for temperature increase. Once the temperature reaches the expected range, the addition of sulfur-rich ore is stopped and the reaction adjustment is switched to the use of low-sulfur ore;
[0037] During the smelting process, a dynamically adjusted closed-loop system is formed. Through subsequent low-temperature feedback data, the ratio of sulfur-rich ore to sulfur-poor ore is continuously adjusted iteratively to optimize each reaction process.
[0038] As a further improvement of the present invention, the minimum threshold of oxygen intake is calculated, including:

The appearance of the phrase in various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It is explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.
[0081] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides an embodiment of a method for strengthening copper smelting by self-heating and chaotic stirring of sulfur-substituted carbon. In this embodiment, the method for strengthening copper smelting by self-heating and chaotic stirring of sulfur-substituted carbon specifically includes the following steps:
[0082] Step S1: Perform initial ore proportioning and use non-contact measurement to monitor the furnace temperature in real time;
[0083] Step S2: adjusting the addition of ore materials according to the real-time monitored kiln temperature; when the kiln temperature is lower than the expected range, adding sulfur-rich ore; when the kiln temperature is higher than the expected range, adding sulfur-poor ore; inputting the added ore proportion into the sulfur-oxygen matching program to calculate the minimum threshold of oxygen intake;
[0084] Step S3: The real-time monitored furnace temperature, slag thickness, copper matte thickness and minimum threshold of oxygen intake are input into the nonlinear chaotic flow calculation program to calculate the injection speed, oxygen supply concentration and injection angle; after the smelting process, the injection speed, oxygen concentration and injection angle are adjusted and fed back to the furnace temperature in real time to achieve dynamic control.
[0085] Preferably, in step S1 of this embodiment, the initial ore proportioning and real-time temperature monitoring are carried out according to the preset smelting requirements to ensure that the chemical composition of the ore can provide the required elements (such as sulfur) to support the reaction in the subsequent smelting process; the non-contact measurement technology is used to monitor the furnace temperature in real time, and the temperature data can be quickly obtained to avoid the delay or error that may be caused by the traditional monitoring method. Significance: Through reasonable ore proportioning, the smelting reaction conditions can be optimized to ensure that the product quality and output meet expectations; real-time monitoring provides the possibility for subsequent dynamic adjustment and enhances the automation level of the smelting process. Step S2 temperature adjustment and oxygen intake calculation, according to real-time temperature feedback, can timely adjust the ore addition method: - Add sulfur-rich ore at low temperature to increase the temperature; - Add sulfur-poor ore at high temperature to control and reduce the temperature; After the ore proportioning, the sulfur-oxygen matching program is used to calculate the minimum threshold of oxygen intake to ensure the complete oxidation of sulfur, which can provide the required heat. Significance: Dynamic regulation based on temperature feedback can effectively reduce the negative impact of temperature fluctuations and ensure a more stable smelting process; through precise oxygen matching, it can optimize the heat release of the oxidation reaction and improve the energy utilization efficiency of smelting. Step S3 chaotic flow calculation and dynamic control, real-time monitoring of furnace temperature, slag thickness, copper matte thickness and the minimum threshold of oxygen intake are input into the nonlinear chaotic flow calculation program to accurately calculate the injection speed, oxygen supply concentration and injection angle to achieve ideal reaction conditions; during the smelting process, by dynamically monitoring the changes in injection speed, oxygen concentration and injection angle, real-time feedback is given to the furnace temperature to achieve precise control. Significance: Through chaotic flow calculation, the best operating parameters can be found in a complex and dynamic environment, greatly improving the efficiency and stability of the smelting process; dynamic feedback control means that the operating parameters can be adjusted in real time during the smelting process, which improves the system's adaptability and provides a guarantee for ensuring the reliability and safety of the copper smelting process (for specific principles, please refer to the attached Figure 2 ).
[0086] In order to achieve material and energy matching during the smelting process, this embodiment requires initial ore blending so that the sulfur content therein basically meets the heat generation requirements. During the smelting process, the furnace temperature is monitored in real time by non-contact measurement. When the furnace temperature is lower than the expected temperature, sulfur-rich ore is added to increase the furnace temperature by oxidation of sulfur; when the furnace temperature is higher than the expected temperature, sulfur-poor ore is added to cool the furnace. Subsequently, the added ore ratio is input into the sulfur-oxygen matching program, and the minimum threshold of oxygen intake is calculated to ensure that the oxygen-rich side blowing can provide an oxidizing atmosphere to meet the needs of timely oxidation and heat release of sulfur. Next, the furnace temperature, slag thickness, copper matte thickness and the minimum threshold of oxygen intake monitored in real time during the smelting process are input into the nonlinear chaotic flow calculation program to obtain the optimal injection speed, oxygen supply concentration and injection angle. After smelting for a period of time, the adjustment of the injection speed, oxygen concentration and injection angle will eventually be fed back to the furnace temperature, and then the next round of control will be carried out.
[0087] In summary, this embodiment forms an efficient and intelligent copper smelting system through three steps: by optimizing the initial ore ratio and real-time monitoring, ensuring the appropriate reaction conditions; then gradually optimizing the smelting process with the help of dynamic adjustment to improve the reaction efficiency; finally, realizing real-time control through chaotic flow calculation to ensure the reliability and safety of the copper smelting process; it helps to improve the energy utilization, production efficiency and product quality of the smelting process, and provides a scientific basis for industrial copper smelting. The implementation of this embodiment depends on the timeliness of the oxidation of sulfur in the material. Only the rapid oxidation and heat release of sulfur can maintain the high temperature of the kiln. Therefore, another key point of the present invention is to improve the heat transfer and mass transfer efficiency through the nonlinear chaos enhanced stirring method to ensure that sulfur and oxygen are fully in contact, react and release heat. Based on this, the problems of high fuel consumption, high smelting cost and high carbon emission pressure in traditional molten pool smelting are solved.
[0088] Furthermore, if Figure 3 As shown, the process of initial ore proportioning and real-time monitoring in step S1 specifically includes the following steps:
[0089] Step S11: Perform multi-dimensional data analysis on the physical, chemical and mineralogical properties of the ore, establish a correlation model between the ore and the expected smelting effect, and optimize the initial ore ratio; at the same time, receive feedback on the furnace temperature, and dynamically optimize the ratio strategy according to the feedback of different furnace problems;
[0090] Step S12: Arrange a number of thermal imaging cameras and infrared sensors around the furnace according to the volume of the furnace, wherein the thermal imaging cameras are used to capture the temperature distribution on the surface and inside of the furnace; the infrared sensors are used to collect the temperature on the surface and inside of the furnace; construct a distributed temperature collection network with the thermal imaging cameras, and aggregate the captured temperature data to the nodes of the distributed temperature collection network;
[0091] Step S13: The temperature data aggregated to the node are subjected to data fusion, and a temperature distribution diagram is generated based on the fused temperature data, and the furnace temperature is compared with the expected range to obtain a comparison result between the furnace temperature and the expected range.

[0105] Furthermore, the process of selecting and constructing the feature vector in step S112 specifically includes the following steps:
[0106] Step S1121: After the data standardization process is completed, the characteristics of various mineral materials are visualized using histograms to obtain the preliminary relationship between different mineral material characteristics such as particle size, chemical composition and mineral type and smelting effects such as metal recovery rate, and identify preliminary key features; color coding is used to display the correlation strength between various mineral material characteristics and smelting effects;

[0111] Furthermore, the process of using data to train the selected association model in step S113 specifically includes the following steps:
[0112] Step S1131: Select linear regression as the basic model from different types of machine learning models such as linear regression, decision tree, random forest and support vector machine, and provide training data for the basic model through different feature subsets; train each basic model independently, use the same training set and validation set, assign different weights to different data points, and evaluate the basic model with the same evaluation criteria;

[0115] Preferably, in step S1131 of this embodiment, the selection and independent training of the basic model, by selecting linear regression as the basic model, using its simplicity and interpretability, establishes a preliminary understanding of the linear relationship between features and smelting effects; by providing training data for the basic model through different feature subsets, it can capture the performance of each feature under different conditions, avoid overfitting and improve the generalization ability of the model; assign different weights to different data points to ensure that the model can focus on important data points (such as samples appearing under specific smelting conditions) and enhance the sensitivity of the model to the importance of samples. Significance: Provide a solid foundation for subsequent model training, by selecting appropriate models and weighting strategies, the learning of the model is both scientific and flexible; by ensuring the diversity and pertinence of the model, it can efficiently capture the relationship between smelting effects and mineral characteristics, and provide a reliable baseline for subsequent evaluation.

Significance: To achieve effective integration of multiple models, take advantage of ensemble learning, and use the prediction results of different models to achieve higher accuracy and robustness; through the application of logical functions, the weight of the model can be adjusted in time to reflect the performance of the model under different conditions, ensuring the optimal performance of the final model. Step S1133: Feature network construction and hyperparameter tuning. By constructing a feature network to view the connection strength between each feature, it helps to identify the most critical features, optimize feature selection, and then build a more accurate model; preliminary training combined with the collected feature variables can provide sufficient background knowledge for the model, so that it can better reflect the relationship between ore characteristics and smelting effects; using the Bayesian optimization algorithm to tune hyperparameters, it can efficiently find the optimal solution in the high-dimensional parameter space and reduce the error of the model.

[0116] In summary, through the above steps, the entire training process of this embodiment not only provides an interpretable basic model, but also improves the accuracy of the final prediction by integrating the advantages of each model. In addition, the implementation of each step provides a landing basis for subsequent dynamic optimization, real-time feedback and online self-learning, making the optimization of ore ratio more intelligent and efficient, and ultimately improving the economic benefits and environmental friendliness of the smelting process.
[0117] Furthermore, the position confirmation process of the thermal imaging camera device and the infrared sensor in step S12 specifically includes the following steps:
[0118] Step S121: using hierarchical modeling, the furnace is divided into multiple functional areas such as the feed port, combustion area, reaction area, and airflow outlet area, and a high-precision geometric model is constructed using computer-aided design tools to capture complex terrain and heat exchange characteristics; inputting material properties such as thermal conductivity, specific heat capacity, and density of each area in the furnace;

[0120] Step S123: Based on the simulation results, cluster analysis is used to identify areas with significant temperature changes, with a focus on the inner wall of the furnace with high temperature and rapid temperature changes, high heat load areas and air flow intersections. Based on the distribution characteristics of the heat flow data, a priority thermal measurement monitoring map is constructed to determine the monitoring locations.
[0121] Preferably, in step S121 of this embodiment, hierarchical modeling and material input, by dividing the kiln into multiple functional areas (such as feed port, combustion zone, reaction zone, airflow outlet, etc.), the complex terrain and heat exchange characteristics inside the kiln are accurately captured, so that the subsequent heat flow and temperature simulation can be more accurate; the material properties such as thermal conductivity, specific heat capacity and density of each area in the kiln are input to ensure that the heat transfer characteristics of each area are accurately reflected, providing a real physical basis for the implementation of the CFD model. The significance achieved: The completion makes the modeling of the kiln more in line with the actual situation, and can reflect the thermal physical behavior during actual operation in the calculation model; the thermal environment of the kiln is determined, ensuring that the subsequent fluid dynamics and thermal field analysis have reliable basic data. Step S122 Multi-scenario simulation and visualization analysis, using CFD software to perform coupled simulation of fluid and thermal field, can reflect the interaction between different airflows and temperature fields inside the furnace, and provide more comprehensive data for analysis; by improving the resolution and time resolution of the calculation model, more accurate heat flow and temperature distribution data are obtained, reflecting more microscopic thermal dynamic changes; presenting simulation results in the form of heat maps and streamlines, making complex heat flow and temperature field information more intuitive and easy to understand.

Significance achieved: Clarify the priority monitoring locations to make the monitoring plan more efficient, avoid waste of resources, and improve the monitoring efficiency of the equipment; focus on monitoring areas with significant temperature changes to capture potential failure risks in a timely manner and improve the safety of furnace operation. At the same time, through continuous data collection and analysis, it helps to optimize overall production performance.
[0122] In summary, the three steps of this embodiment together constitute a complete set of thermal imaging camera equipment and infrared sensor position confirmation process, ensuring that through scientific simulation and analysis methods, combined with high-precision input data, data-driven monitoring solutions and efficient operation management are ultimately achieved. This not only improves the coverage and accuracy of monitoring, but also helps to improve the safety and operating efficiency of the kiln, thereby improving overall work efficiency.
[0123] Furthermore, if Figure 4 As shown, the process of comparing the kiln temperature with the expected range in step S2 specifically includes the following steps:
[0124] Step S21: When the monitored temperature is lower than the set expected range, the low temperature feedback mechanism is automatically activated; according to the current temperature state of the kiln, the sulfur-rich ore type is automatically selected from the ore warehouse, the selected sulfur-rich ore is automatically weighed and transported, and different types of sulfur-rich ore are dynamically allocated according to their calorific value and physical properties;
[0125] Step S22: Combined with the low temperature information, the sulfur-oxygen matching program is started, and the oxygen supply is adjusted while calculating the minimum threshold of the oxygen intake; after the sulfur-rich ore is added, the change of the furnace temperature is continuously monitored, and a feedback control mechanism is adopted to set the evaluation standard of the temperature increase. Once the temperature reaches the expected range, the addition of the sulfur-rich ore is stopped, and the reaction adjustment of the use of the low-sulfur ore is switched;
[0126] Step S23: During the smelting process, a dynamically adjusted closed-loop system is formed. Through subsequent low-temperature feedback data, the ratio of sulfur-rich ore and sulfur-poor ore is continuously adjusted iteratively to optimize each reaction process.
[0127] Preferably, in step S21 of this embodiment, the low-temperature feedback mechanism is activated and the dynamic allocation of sulfur-rich ore is carried out. The monitoring system monitors the temperature of the kiln in real time, so that when the temperature is lower than the set range (preset), the feedback mechanism is automatically started to ensure rapid response, and different smelting requirements are met by automatically selecting the type of sulfur-rich ore; according to the calorific value and physical properties of the ore, dynamic allocation is implemented to achieve the best smelting effect. This allocation can enhance the reaction activity in the furnace and accelerate the temperature rise. The significance achieved: by adding sulfur-rich ore in time, the self-heating reaction can be effectively utilized to increase the temperature of the kiln and reduce the reduction of smelting efficiency caused by low temperature; through accurate ore ratio and dynamic allocation, unnecessary resource waste in the smelting process is reduced, and the overall economy is improved. Step S22 sulfur-oxygen matching program and temperature monitoring, through the sulfur-oxygen matching program, the minimum threshold of the oxygen intake is accurately calculated, and the oxygen supply is dynamically adjusted according to the current state of the kiln to ensure sufficient oxygen in the reaction process; after the sulfur-rich ore is added, the temperature change of the kiln is continuously monitored, and the evaluation standard of the temperature increase is set. Once the temperature returns to the expected range, the operation process is adjusted in time. Significance achieved: Through precise oxygen control, non-ideal reactions caused by insufficient oxygen supply are avoided to ensure the quality and safety of smelting; real-time monitoring and feedback mechanisms realize refined temperature management, making the entire smelting process more flexible and controllable in temperature control. Step S23 Dynamic adjustment and closed-loop system formation, build a closed-loop control system based on real-time monitoring data, and quickly adjust the ratio of sulfur-rich ore and sulfur-poor ore through continuous analysis of low-temperature feedback data to achieve adaptive optimization of the smelting process; during the iterative adjustment process, the smelting operation can be continuously improved based on historical data and feedback from new states, so that the efficiency of each reaction can be improved. Significance achieved: With the formation of a closed-loop system, the copper smelting process has the ability to learn and improve, and can be continuously optimized in actual operation, and achieve optimal reaction conditions through dynamic adaptation; by optimizing the proportion of ore and reaction conditions, it helps to reduce energy consumption and emissions, and promote the copper smelting process to be more environmentally friendly and sustainable.
[0128] In summary, this embodiment has unique technical effects and far-reaching significance in the process of comparing the furnace temperature with the expected range. Through real-time monitoring, dynamic allocation, precise control and closed-loop optimization, not only the smelting efficiency is improved, but also the safety and stability of the reaction are ensured. The intelligent operation mode provides strong technical support for the modernization and sustainable development of the metallurgical industry.
[0129] Furthermore, according to the law of conservation of elements, the process of calculating the minimum threshold of oxygen intake in step S2 shows that the input and output of oxygen flow remain unchanged in each link of copper smelting. Therefore, by calculating the difference in oxygen content in the incoming ore and the output material (copper slag, copper matte, smoke and flue gas), the minimum threshold of theoretical smelting oxygen demand can be analyzed, which specifically includes:
[0130] The input materials involved in the entire chaotic stirring enhanced copper smelting process can be mainly divided into copper concentrate, slag-making agent (it is worth noting that the slag-making process does not require the participation of oxygen) and oxygen-enriched air:
[0131] ∑G 投入 =g1+g2+g3
[0132] g1, 2, 3: copper concentrate, slag-making agent and oxygen-enriched air, t / h;
[0133] For chaotic stirring enhanced copper smelting, oxygen will initially exist in the furnace charge in the form of mainly oxidized copper ore. Specifically, the furnace charge can be mainly divided into two categories: copper sulfide ore and oxidized copper ore. Among them, the copper sulfide ore mainly includes Cu2S (chalcocite), CuS (covellite), CuFeS2 (chalcopyrite) and Cu5FeS4 (bornite), and the oxidized copper ore mainly includes Cu2O (copperite) and CuO (copper ore). Therefore, the total charge amount of the furnace charge and the proportion of each component can be expressed as:
[0134]
[0135] Where: η 1,j Indicates the content ratio of component j in the ore fed into the furnace, -; g 1,1、1,2、1,3、1,4、1,5、1,6 Indicates the input amount of chalcocite, covellite, chalcopyrite, bornite, cuprite and tenorite, t / h; η 1,j,1、1 , j,2、1,j,3、1,j,4、1,j,5、1,j,6 It represents the content proportion of component j in chalcocite, covellite, chalcopyrite, bornite, cuprite and tenorite, -;
[0136] According to the chemical composition and proportion of the materials in the ore, the proportion of copper, iron, sulfur and oxygen, the main elements involved in the smelting reaction, can be calculated:
[0137] g 1,Cu =η 1,Cu2S ·g1(Mr Cu2S / 2Mr Cu )+η 2,CuS ·g2(Mr CuS / Mr Cu )+η 3,CuFeS2 ·g3(Mr CuFeS2 / Mr Cu )+η 4,Cu5FeS4 ·g4(Mr Cu5FeS4 / 5Mr Cu )+η 5,Cu2O ·g5(Mr Cu2O / 2Mr Cu )+η 6,CuO ·g6(Mr CuO / Mr Cu )
[0138] g 1,Fe =η 3,CuFeS2 ·g3(Mr CuFeS2 / Mr Fe )+η 4,Cu5FeS4 ·g4(Mr Cu5FeS4 / Mr Fe )
[0139] g 1,S =η 1,Cu2S ·g1(Mr Cu2S / Mr S )+η 2,CuS ·g2(Mr CuS / Mr S )+η 3,CuFeS2 ·g3(Mr CuFeS2 / 2Mr S )+η 4,Cu5FeS4 ·g4(Mr Cu5FeS4 / 4Mr S )
[0140] g 1,O =η 5,Cu2O ·g5(Mr Cu2O / Mr o )+η 6,CuO ·g6(Mrc uO / Mr o )
[0141] In the formula, Mr j Indicates the relative atomic mass of element or component j;
[0142] The output materials involved in the chaotic stirring enhanced copper smelting process can be mainly divided into copper slag, copper matte, smoke and flue gas:
[0143] ∑G 产出 =g4+g5+g6+g7
[0144] g4, 5, 6, 7 represent the output of copper slag, copper matte, smoke and flue gas, t / h; let η l,j is the content ratio of element and component j in the product;
[0145] For chaotic stirring enhanced copper smelting, oxygen will finally exist in the flue gas, copper slag and copper matte mainly in the form of SO2 and FeO combined with sulfur and iron respectively;
[0146] For elemental sulfur, the content of S in smelting output copper slag, copper matte, and smoke is From the sulfur element balance, we know that the sulfur content in the flue gas is: 1000g 1,St / h. Since most of the sulfur in the flue gas exists in the form of SO2, the amount of oxygen used by sulfur element before and after the reaction can be obtained as follows:
[0147]
[0148] For the oxygen consumption of the Fe element in chaotic stirring copper smelting, it is assumed that the Fe element in the smelting reaction output is mainly in the form of FeO. The iron element is conserved before and after the smelting reaction, and the mass is 1000g 1,Fe kg, it can be known that the oxygen content in the smelting product FeO element accounts for 1000g 1,Fe Mr. O / Mr Fe kg;
[0149] The mass of oxygen in the input substance is 1000g 1,O kg. According to the conservation of oxygen, the theoretical oxygen demand per hour for smelting is:
[0150]
[0151] Preferably, the theoretical oxygen demand of this embodiment is accurately calculated, and the theoretical oxygen demand in the copper smelting process can be calculated by accurately analyzing the oxygen element in the input and output substances; the calculation is based on the law of conservation of elements, which ensures the mass balance of all chemical components participating in the reaction before and after the reaction; it not only provides the theoretically required oxygen amount, but also takes into account the possible loss and conversion in the actual reaction. Improve the efficiency of the smelting process. By understanding the specific amount of oxygen required for the redox reaction of each ore, the supply of oxygen-enriched air can be more accurately allocated, thereby ensuring the continuous and efficient reaction in the furnace. Predictive analysis can greatly reduce the reaction delay and efficiency reduction in the smelting process caused by insufficient oxygen, and ultimately improve production efficiency. Optimize resource consumption. During the smelting process, the theoretical oxygen demand is calculated, so that the operator can flexibly adjust the oxygen input according to actual needs, avoiding the waste of resources caused by excessive or insufficient oxygen, helping to reduce operating costs, and reducing environmental impact to a certain extent. The realization of refined control process, through the analysis of the content of each element in the smelting reaction, enables the fine control of oxygen supply in the production process of copper smelting; through the automation system, based on the real-time monitoring data feedback, the required amount of oxygen is dynamically adjusted to ensure the stability and safety of the furnace operation. Improve product quality, through the calculation of theoretical oxygen demand, the conditions of smelting reaction can be further optimized, the unqualified products caused by secondary reactions can be reduced, and the quality of the final copper product can be improved; accurate oxygen supply not only ensures the complete chemical reaction, but also reduces the content of harmful substances (such as unreacted sulfides or other impurities) in the final product. Data-driven process optimization realizes the quantitative evaluation of the smelting process and forms data-driven process optimization, which provides a theoretical basis and reference basis for adjustments and improvements in the production process, so that the entire smelting process can be continuously optimized with the help of analytical data.
[0152] In summary, this embodiment not only enhances the understanding of oxygen demand in theory, but also achieves the goal of making the smelting process more efficient, safer and more environmentally friendly in practice. By rationally allocating resources, improving production efficiency and product quality, and optimizing the operation process, a scientific, reasonable and efficient copper smelting process is finally formed.
[0153] Furthermore, if Figure 5 As shown, the process of the nonlinear chaotic flow calculation program in step S3 specifically includes the following steps:

[0155] Step S32: constructing a mathematical model of nonlinear chaotic flow enhanced stirring according to the database, which can effectively reflect the relationship between smelting state parameters, injection parameters and core indicators;
[0156] Step S33: The injection parameters are calculated based on the established nonlinear chaotic flow enhanced stirring mathematical model and the smelting state parameters monitored in real time during the smelting process.
[0157] Preferably, in step S31 of this embodiment, computational fluid dynamics technology and database construction, through computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technology, the influence of injection (side blowing, bottom blowing and top blowing) on the flow characteristics of the melt can be deeply analyzed, and the core indicators under different smelting state parameters and injection parameters can be obtained. The core indicators may include the temperature, velocity distribution, mixing uniformity, etc. of the melt; a database containing data under various smelting states and injection conditions is established to provide a basis for subsequent modeling and analysis. The significance achieved: the data provides the necessary experimental and simulation basis for the subsequent model construction, ensuring the accuracy and applicability of the model; by analyzing the core indicators under different conditions, the key factors affecting the smelting efficiency and product quality can be identified, thereby providing a scientific basis for optimizing the smelting process.

[0159] The technical problem solved by this embodiment is that the oxygen-enriched side-blowing stirring molten pool is a typical nonlinear chaotic process. The core indicators for measuring the side-blowing effect (material non-uniformity, temperature non-uniformity, speed non-uniformity, stirring dead zone) and smelting state parameters (slag layer thickness, copper matte thickness, furnace temperature) and injection parameters (injection speed, oxygen-enriched concentration, injection angle) show a significant nonlinear relationship, and the influence of multiple parameters cannot be evaluated by conventional mathematical modeling methods.
[0160] In this embodiment, CFD database is constructed, and computational fluid dynamics is a discipline that solves the fluid mechanics control equations by mathematical calculation methods to obtain discrete quantitative descriptions of flow fields and phase interfaces, and uses this to predict the fluid motion behavior in the calculation area. In the present invention, in addition to solving conventional mass, momentum, energy conservation, turbulence, and component equations, the VOF method is also required to capture and reconstruct the gas-liquid interface;
[0161] The VOF model is suitable for simulating a variety of immiscible fluids, including stratified flow and free surface flow. The VOF model assumes that there is no interpenetration between multiphase fluids. For each additional phase in the model, it is necessary to introduce an additional phase volume fraction. In each control volume, the sum of the volume fractions of all phases is 1. The phase interface between the multiphases is tracked by solving the continuity equation of the multiphase volume fraction. For the qth phase, this equation has the following form:
[0162]
[0163] In the formula, α q is the volume fraction of the qth phase; ρ q is the density of the qth phase; is the velocity of the fluid; S αq is the source phase;
[0164] In the VOF model, the velocity field is obtained by solving a single momentum equation for the entire region. The velocity field is shared by all phases as a result of the calculation. The momentum equation depends on ρ and μ based on the volume fractions of all phases in the control volume:
[0165]
[0166] Where ρ is the density of the fluid; is the velocity of the fluid; μ is the viscosity of the fluid; is the volume force;
[0167] In the VOF model, the energy equation is expressed as follows:
[0168]
[0169] Where Eq is calculated by the specific heat capacity of the qth phase and the shared temperature T; k eff is effective heat conduction; source term S h Includes radiation and other volumetric heat sources;
[0170] Turbulence model equation, the k-ε model was proposed by Launder and Spalding. The model introduces two unknown quantities: turbulent kinetic energy k and turbulent dissipation rate ε. The transport equations corresponding to the two unknown quantities are:
[0171]
[0172] The calculation process sets the boundary conditions and physical parameters of each phase of the simulation according to the operating parameters of the oxygen-enriched side-blowing furnace. The specific steps of solving the problem through numerical calculation are as follows:
[0173] (1) Taking the oxygen-enriched side-blown furnace as the research object, a proportional three-dimensional computational domain model was established according to the actual size;
[0174] (2) The furnace model is meshed to obtain a hexahedral structured mesh for capturing the computational fluid domain. The area near the nozzle and the melt region requires special encryption to accurately capture the free liquid surface morphology and velocity.
[0175] (3) The gas-liquid interface is set as a free interface, the solid wall is regarded as a no-slip boundary, and the boundary layer near the wall is treated with a standard wall function. The inlet and outlet boundary conditions and initial conditions are set according to the actual industrial situation.
[0176] (4) Setting the VOF model, the surface tension between the mixed gas and liquid phases and the ke turbulence model;
[0177] (5) Extract and analyze material non-uniformity, velocity non-uniformity, temperature non-uniformity and stirring dead zone;
[0178] By repeating the above steps, a database of different slag layer thicknesses, copper matte thicknesses, furnace temperatures, injection velocities, oxygen enrichment levels and injection angles can be calculated.
[0179] The construction of nonlinear chaotic mathematical model includes input parameters and measurement indicators, where the input parameters include the smelting state parameters fed back in real time by the smelting monitoring system and the spray parameters of the spray gun, as follows:
[0180] Smelting state parameters: slag layer thickness h s , copper matte thickness hc , furnace temperature T;
[0181] Injection parameters: injection speed v, oxygen enrichment level x, injection angle d;
[0182] Metric: Material heterogeneity U m , speed unevenness U v , Temperature non-uniformity U T , stirring dead zone a;
[0183] The following explains how the metrics are calculated:
[0184] Stirring dead zone: the volume of the area where the melt velocity is less than 0.1m / s;
[0185] Material inhomogeneity: The inhomogeneity of a substance A is measured by the gradient A' of its concentration in a certain direction. Its expressions in the three directions of x, y and z are:
[0186]
[0187] By integrating and summing the heterogeneity components of material A in three directions in the melt region, the total heterogeneity of material A can be obtained:
[0188] U m =∫ V (A′ x +A′ y +A′ z )dV
[0189] Temperature non-uniformity: The non-uniformity of temperature T is measured by T', and its expressions in the three directions of xyz are:
[0190]
[0191] By integrating and summing the inhomogeneity components of temperature T in three directions in the melt region, the total inhomogeneity of temperature T can be obtained:
[0192] U T =∫ V (T′ x +T′ y +T′ z )dV
[0193] Velocity non-uniformity: The melt velocity V is a vector, containing three components, Vx, Vy, and Vz. Its non-uniformity in the xyz direction can be expressed as:
[0194]
[0195] The total unevenness of velocity v is expressed as:
[0196] U v =∫ V (V′ x +V′ y +V′ z )dV
[0197] After determining the above input and output parameters, a set of coupled differential equations are established to describe the dynamic behavior of the system:
[0198] 1. Dynamic changes of injection speed v:
[0199] 2. Dynamic changes of oxygen enrichment x:
[0200] 3. Dynamic changes of spray gun spacing d:

[0206] U m =f m (v,x,d,θ,h s ,h c ,T)
[0207] U v =f v (v,x,d,θ,h s ,h c ,T)
[0208] U T =f T (v,x,d,θ,h s ,h c ,T)
[0209] a=f a (v,x,d,θ,h s ,h c ,T)
[0210] In these equations, r v ,r x,r d ,r θ ,r hs ,r hc ,r T is the growth rate parameter of each parameter itself, and α1, α2, ..., η6 are constants that affect the interaction between the parameters. m ,f v ,f T ,f a is a function of the complex relationship between the metric and the parameters. The current model can be used to study the interaction between different parameters and their impact on the system behavior and the metric. By adjusting the parameters and initial conditions, the dynamic behavior of the system can be observed, including possible periodicity or chaos.

The copper matte discharge port 8 and the slag discharge port 11 are arranged on both sides of the furnace area 3.
[0216] Preferably, the working principle of this embodiment is to introduce thiocarbon (or similar reducing agent) to carry out autothermal reaction at high temperature, so that the copper ions in the copper ore are reduced to generate metallic copper; in this process, the device maintains a uniform high-temperature environment, and promotes the full mixing of the melt through chaotic stirring to ensure the uniformity and efficiency of the reaction.
