Description

Technical Field

[0001] This specification relates to the field of ore detection, and more specifically, to an online detection method for bauxite composition and related equipment. Background Art

[0002] Alumina is a critical industrial raw material and resource-based commodity. Slurry preparation is the first step in alumina production, with bauxite being its primary raw material. The composition of the bauxite determines the material ratio for slurry preparation. Fluctuations in slurry composition can impact the entire alumina production line, causing fluctuations in actual dissolution and decomposition rates, increased material and energy consumption, and reduced product quality. Due to factors such as bauxite's complex composition, volatile chemical composition, increasing resource scarcity, and declining quality, solutions to ensure high quality and stability of bauxite are difficult to find.

[0003] Testing and analyzing the composition of bauxite can derive strategies for adding various material components, guide the batching process, and stabilize the original slurry environment. However, most of the process and technical indicators of alumina companies currently use manual timed sampling and laboratory manual analysis methods for sample testing. The sampling time interval is long, the analysis results are delayed, and it is easy to cause human errors, which cannot provide timely and effective guidance for ore batching. Domestic and foreign online detection technologies for ore and metal components mainly include neutron activation analysis (PGNAA), near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR), X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF) and other technologies for research and industrial trial application. However, the main problems are that PGNAA has serious radiation risks, NIR cannot directly measure elements and has high adaptability requirements for field applications, and XRF cannot directly measure elements with smaller atomic numbers.

[0004] Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is a multi-element analysis technique based on atomic emission spectroscopy. It uses a high-energy laser source to generate a high-temperature plasma on the sample surface. The elements contained in the sample are vaporized, atomized, and excited in the hot plasma, producing atomic and ion spectra that are characteristic of the sample's elemental composition. Compared to traditional analytical methods, LIBS is fast, requires no complex sample preparation, and allows for remote analysis. This overcomes the limitations of conventional analytical techniques as online detection technologies and can be used for samples in any physical state, such as solids, liquids, and gases, including aerosols, and can be used for online analysis.

[0005] Due to the complexity of ores and the stringent latency requirements of industrial production, LIBS technology has yet to be applied to online ore composition monitoring, hindered by factors such as matrix effects, self-absorption, and interference from overlapping peaks. There is an urgent need for an online bauxite composition detection method and system to enable online analysis of bauxite composition, thereby enabling intelligent control of ore blending, reducing production costs, improving product quality, and accelerating the automation, informatization, and intelligentization of the alumina production process.

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments.

[0047] See also Figure 1 , which is a schematic flow diagram of an online detection method for bauxite composition provided in an embodiment of the present application, which may specifically include:

[0048] S110, controlling the LIBS system to collect n actual spectral data on the bauxite to be tested on the conveyor belt at a preset speed;

[0049] For example, the LIBS system is configured to collect n actual spectral data of the bauxite sample while it moves at a preset speed on a conveyor belt. These spectral data are generated by a high-energy laser source generating a high-temperature plasma on the surface of the bauxite sample, thereby exciting the emission spectra of the elements in the sample.

[0050] S120, performing a preprocessing operation on the n actual spectrum data to obtain a preprocessed actual spectrum data set;

[0051] Exemplarily, a preprocessing operation is performed on the collected n actual spectral data. The preprocessing operation may include but is not limited to noise removal, baseline correction, normalization, etc., so as to obtain a cleaner and standardized preprocessed actual spectral data set.

[0052] S130, calculating a screening distance between each preprocessed actual spectrum data set in the preprocessed actual spectrum data set and a class spectrum of alumina, and adding the preprocessed actual spectrum data set having the screening distance less than or equal to a preset distance to the valid spectrum data set, wherein the class spectrum is obtained by statically measuring a standard sample with known composition;

[0053] For example, by calculating the screening distance between each preprocessed actual spectral data set and the spectrum of a standard sample with known composition, spectral data with a distance less than or equal to a preset distance are screened out and added to the valid spectral data set. Furthermore, the standard sample spectra are measured under static conditions, ensuring the accuracy of the spectral data.

[0054] S140, taking the average value of the first m spectral data in the valid spectral data set as the actual continuous transmission spectral data;

[0055] For example, the average value of the first m spectral data in the valid spectral data set is calculated as the actual continuous transmission spectral data. This average value can represent the spectral characteristics of the bauxite sample to be tested during the continuous transmission process.

[0056] S150. Input the actual continuous transmission spectral data into an optimal model to obtain the bauxite composition corresponding to each spectral data, wherein the optimal model is based on standard continuous transmission spectral data, and the standard continuous transmission spectral data is the average value of the first m spectral data of the standard sample collected on the preset speed conveyor belt based on the LIBS system and obtained through the preprocessing operation and the screening distance operation.

[0057] For example, actual continuous transmission spectral data is fed into an optimization model, which then outputs the bauxite composition corresponding to each spectral data point. The optimization model is trained using standard continuous transmission spectral data, which is obtained by collecting standard sample spectra on a conveyor belt at a preset speed and then undergoing preprocessing and screening.

[0058] In summary, the methods of related technologies require manual sampling and laboratory analysis, with long time intervals and delayed analysis results. The present application uses LIBS technology to achieve online real-time detection of bauxite components, which can obtain data in a timely manner and guide the production process. Through preprocessing and screening operations, the high quality and accuracy of spectral data are ensured, human errors and external interference are reduced, and more accurate detection results are provided. Compared with the PGNAA method, LIBS technology avoids radiation risks and ensures the safety of operators. LIBS technology can be used for the detection of solid, liquid and gas samples, and does not require complex sample preparation, and is suitable for a variety of industrial environments. Through online detection and intelligent control, labor costs and laboratory analysis costs are reduced, while production efficiency and product quality are improved, and overall production costs are reduced. This solution provides a reliable online detection method for the alumina production process, promotes the automation, informatization and intelligent development of the production process, and enhances the competitiveness of the industry.

[0059] In some examples, this also includes:

[0060] preparing n1 bulk bauxite samples with different compositions, grinding them, and pressing them into tablets to form the above-mentioned standard samples;

[0061] Controlling the LIBS system to collect n1 standard spectral data of the standard sample in a static state;

[0062] Performing a preprocessing operation on the n1 standard spectral data to obtain a preprocessed standard spectral data set;

[0063] The average value of the spectral data in the preprocessed standard spectral data set is used as the category spectrum.

[0064] Exemplarily, n1 bulk samples are prepared from bauxite of different sources or compositions. These bulk samples are then ground and pressed to form uniform standard samples. Grinding and pressing processes help reduce the heterogeneity of the samples and improve the accuracy of the test results. The above-mentioned standard samples are tested in a static state using a LIBS system to collect n1 standard spectral data. Testing in a static state can ensure the stability and reliability of the spectral data. The collected n1 standard spectral data are preprocessed, and the preprocessing operations include but are not limited to denoising, baseline correction, normalization, etc., to obtain a more standardized preprocessed standard spectral data set. The average value of the spectral data in the preprocessed standard spectral data set is calculated as the category spectrum. The category spectrum represents the spectral characteristics of the standard sample and is used for the subsequent screening and comparison of actual spectral data.

[0065] In summary, preparing standard samples and performing pretreatment ensures the high quality and accuracy of the classification spectra, providing a reliable reference for subsequent actual testing. Grinding and tableting reduce sample heterogeneity and improve the consistency of test results. Collecting standard spectral data in a static state avoids fluctuations and errors that may occur during dynamic testing, ensuring the stability of spectral data. Standardized preprocessing and calculation of classification spectra facilitate the screening and comparison of subsequent actual spectral data, improving the efficiency and accuracy of data analysis.

[0066] In some examples, the step of preparing n1 bulk bauxite samples with different compositions and grinding and tableting them to form the standard sample comprises:

[0067] The above-mentioned bulk bauxite samples with different compositions refer to bauxite samples with different contents of elements; the particle size of the above-mentioned bulk bauxite samples is less than 20 mm, and the above-mentioned n1 is greater than or equal to 30;

[0068] The steps of the above-mentioned grinding and tableting process specifically include:

[0069] Grinding the bauxite sample using a mortar for a maximum time of less than 2 minutes to form a granular bauxite sample having a particle size of less than or equal to 2 μm;

[0070] The granular bauxite sample is pressed at a pressure of at least 15 MPa for at least 30 seconds to form the bulk bauxite sample.

[0071] For example, the bulk bauxite samples with different compositions are bauxites with different element contents. By selecting bauxites with different compositions, it is possible to ensure that the standard samples are diverse and more representative.

[0072] The particle size of bulk bauxite samples should be less than 20 mm, and at least 30 bulk samples with different compositions should be prepared to ensure the reliability and comprehensiveness of the data.

[0073] Grinding is performed in a mortar for a maximum of less than 2 minutes to prevent moisture absorption, resulting in a granular bauxite sample with a particle size of 2 μm or less. This particle size ensures a fine and uniform sample, facilitating subsequent spectral analysis.

[0074] The granular bauxite sample is pressed at a pressure of at least 15 MPa for at least 30 seconds. This high-pressure, short-time treatment method can form a dense, bulk bauxite sample, reduce internal voids, and improve sample uniformity and stability.

[0075] In summary, by selecting bauxite with different compositions, we ensure that the standard samples are representative and can cover various composition changes that may be encountered during the production process. During the sample preparation process, the sample particle size is controlled to be less than 20mm to ensure that the sample can be effectively processed during the grinding process. The particle size after grinding is required to be less than or equal to 2μm to ensure the fineness and uniformity of the sample, which is conducive to the accurate collection of spectral data. A pressure of at least 15MPa is used for tableting to ensure the density and stability of the sample, reduce internal voids, and avoid errors caused by sample heterogeneity during the detection process. The grinding operation time is less than 2 minutes to avoid moisture absorption, and the tableting operation time is at least 30 seconds to ensure that high-quality sample preparation is completed within a limited time and improve production efficiency.

[0076] In some examples, the preprocessing operation includes a baseline correction operation and a noise removal operation;

[0077] The baseline correction operation includes one or more of a derivative method, an iterative polynomial fitting method, and a penalty-based least squares method.

[0078] For example, the purpose of baseline correction is to eliminate baseline drift in spectral data, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of spectral signals. Baseline correction methods can include the following:

[0079] Derivative method: Eliminate baseline drift by calculating the first or second derivative of the spectral data. This method can effectively remove low-frequency noise and baseline drift, but may also enhance high-frequency noise.

[0080] Iterative Polynomial Fitting: Estimates and eliminates baseline drift in spectra by iteratively fitting a polynomial. This method is highly flexible and can adapt to baselines of varying shapes.

[0081] Penalized least squares method: Baseline correction is achieved by introducing a penalty term to control the smoothness of the polynomial fit. This method can effectively preserve the main characteristics of the spectral signal while eliminating baseline drift.

[0082] The purpose of noise removal is to reduce noise interference in spectral data and improve the quality of spectral signals. Common noise removal methods include:

[0083] Filtering method: Remove high-frequency noise by using low-pass filters, median filters, etc.

[0084] Smoothing method: Smooth spectral data through sliding window averaging, Savitzky-Golay filtering and other methods to reduce noise.

[0085] The present application embodiment eliminates baseline drift and noise interference in the spectral data through baseline correction and noise removal operations, obtaining a more accurate spectral signal. By selecting a variety of baseline correction methods, the processing process is made more flexible, and the most appropriate method can be selected according to actual conditions to improve the data processing effect. The spectral data quality after pretreatment is higher, which reduces the errors in subsequent analysis, ensures the reliability of the spectral data, and provides strong support for accurately detecting bauxite components.

[0086] In some examples, the noise removal operation includes wavelet transform and / or Savitzky-Golay.

[0087] For example, both the wavelet transform and the Savitzky-Golay filter can effectively remove noise from spectral data and improve signal quality. The wavelet transform is highly efficient in processing time and frequency information, while the Savitzky-Golay filter excels in preserving signal peaks. Combining the two can simultaneously remove noise and preserve the key features of the spectral signal. Depending on the characteristics of the actual spectral data, the wavelet transform and / or the Savitzky-Golay filter can be selected to flexibly perform noise removal operations and improve preprocessing effects.

[0088] In some examples, the optimal model is a partial least squares regression model. 2 A model that evaluates detection accuracy and uses grid search methods for parameter tuning.

[0089] For example, the spectral data and bauxite composition data were centered and standardized, and the PLS regression method was used to establish a regression model between the input variable (spectral data) and the output variable (composition data). 2 As an evaluation index, the detection accuracy of the PLS regression model is measured. By calculating R 2 The value of the model is used to evaluate the explanatory power and accuracy of the model for the detection of bauxite components. The parameter grid of the PLS regression model (such as the number of latent variables) is defined, and the model performance of each parameter combination is evaluated through cross-validation. 2 The parameter combination with the highest value is used to obtain the optimal PLS regression model.

[0090] In summary, this embodiment establishes the relationship between spectral data and component data through PLS regression model, and 2 Evaluate the model's detection accuracy to ensure high-precision component detection capabilities. Use a grid search method for parameter tuning, systematically traversing parameter combinations to ensure the optimal PLS regression model and improve its reliability and stability. PLS regression models can effectively process high-dimensional spectral data and address multicollinearity issues, making them suitable for complex bauxite composition detection.

[0091] In some examples, the parameters tuned in the parameter tuning process include the number of principal components, the maximum number of iterations, and the convergence criterion.

[0092] For example, the number of principal components is an important parameter in partial least squares regression (PLS regression), which determines the number of latent variables extracted from the raw spectral data. Choosing an appropriate number of principal components can balance the complexity and explanatory power of the model, avoiding overfitting or underfitting.

[0093] The maximum number of iterations determines the upper limit of the number of iterations during the training process of the PLS regression model. Setting a reasonable maximum number of iterations can ensure that the model is fully optimized during the training process, but will not waste computing resources due to excessive iterations.

[0094] Convergence criteria are used to determine whether the model training process has reached an optimal state, usually measured by the change in the loss function. Setting appropriate convergence criteria can prevent the model from falling into a local optimal solution while ensuring that the training process completes within a reasonable time.

[0095] By using the grid search method, different numbers of principal components are tried to select the one that maximizes R 2 Ensure the model can fully extract the features of the spectral data while avoiding overfitting. Set the maximum number of iterations within a reasonable range and select the number of iterations that achieves the best model performance through cross-validation to ensure that the model is fully optimized during training. Adjust the threshold of the convergence criterion and select the most appropriate convergence criterion through cross-validation to ensure that the model can effectively converge during training and avoid falling into local optimal solutions.

[0096] In summary, the method proposed in the embodiment of the present application ensures that the PLS regression model has optimal performance on high-dimensional spectral data through systematic parameter tuning, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of bauxite composition detection. The parameter range and value during the tuning process can be adjusted according to the specific spectral data characteristics, with high flexibility and adaptability. By reasonably setting the maximum number of iterations and convergence criteria, it is ensured that the model converges to the optimal solution within a reasonable time, thereby improving training efficiency and model stability.

[0097] In some examples, the Figure 2 The LIBS system shown here consists of a laser, spectrometer, detector, and time delay. The laser has a wavelength of 1064 nm, a single pulse energy of 100 mJ, and a repetition rate of 10 Hz; the spectrometer is a two-channel spectrometer with a wavelength range of 200 nm to 500 nm and a resolution of 0.1 nm; the detector has 2048 pixels; and the time delay has a delay of 300 ns. This system can detect the three elements Al, Fe, and Si in bauxite.

[0098] The specific steps include:

[0099] S201: Prepare n1 (up to 30) bulk bauxite samples with different compositions, grind and tablet them, and collect n1 standard spectral data to obtain a standard spectral data set.

[0100] Specifically: the particle size of the selected bauxite sample is less than 20 mm; the bauxite sample is ground in a mortar for 2 minutes to prevent moisture absorption, the particle size is controlled below 2 μm, and a pressure of 15 MPa is used for 30 seconds to prepare a tablet sample; Figure 2 The LIBS system shown in the figure collects bauxite spectral data. During the collection process, each sample is excited 10 times, and the average of the 10 spectral data is taken as the spectral data of a single sample. The data size of the bauxite spectral data set is (4096, 30).

[0101] S202: Preprocess the standard spectral data to reduce the baseline drift and continuous background interference in the standard spectral data, and obtain a preprocessed bauxite spectral data set. Baseline drift is the overall deviation of the spectrum caused by factors such as instrument drift and light source fluctuation, while continuous background interference is the spectral background signal caused by factors such as scattering and absorption of the sample. The first-order derivative is used to reduce the baseline drift in the spectrum, and the influence of the baseline drift on the spectrum is reduced by reducing the overall slope and fluctuation of the spectrum. The Savitzky-Golay method is used to reduce continuous background interference, and the data of the sliding pane is weighted filtered. While filtering and smoothing, the signal change information is effectively retained. The window width is 5 and the polynomial order is 3. The schematic diagram of the preprocessing results is shown as follows: Figure 3 shown.

[0102] S203: Take the average value of the spectrum data obtained by S201 and S202 as the bauxite category spectrum S. There are 30 spectrum data obtained by S101 and S102, which are respectively recorded as {I1, I2, ..., I 30}, bauxite class spectrum S is as follows Figure 4 As shown, it is calculated by the following formula:

[0103]

[0104] S204: Bauxite with known composition is transported from Figure 2 The LIBS system shown is driven downward to collect spectral data of bauxite, and then performs S102 to obtain a pre-processed spectral data set.

[0105] S205: Calculate the spectral distance L between each spectral data in the preprocessed spectral data set of S204 and S in S203, remove spectral data with L>1.0, remove spectral data that fails due to sample gaps, ensure data validity, and obtain a spectral data set.

[0106] The distance L is calculated as follows:

[0107]

[0108] In the above formula, S′ is a single spectral data in the preprocessed spectral data set, and xi is the spectral value of each band of the spectral data;

[0109] S206: Select the first m (can be 10) spectral data of the spectral data set obtained in S105 and average them as the spectral data of the first transmission. The belt transmission time of the first transmission is set to 2s, that is, the continuous placement distance of the sample is 3m.

[0110] S207: Repeat S204 to S206 90 times to obtain a modeling dataset, and divide the modeling dataset into a training set and a validation set according to a ratio of 7:3. The data size of the modeling dataset is (4096, 90).

[0111] S208: Use the training set and the validation set to establish a partial least squares regression model (PLSR) for the detection of three elemental components: Al, Fe, and Si, and use the coefficient of determination R 2 Evaluate detection accuracy.

[0112] Coefficient of determination R 2 , which indicates the degree of fit of the detection model to the data set. The higher the determination coefficient, the better the detection model fits. 2 The calculation method is:

[0113]

[0114] S209: Repeat S208 and use the grid search method to tune the parameters of PLSR until the R of the detection model is 2 Reach the optimum and save the optimal model.

[0115] PLSR parameters that require tuning include the number of principal components, the maximum number of iterations, and the convergence criterion. The number of principal components ranges from {2, 3, …, 200}, the maximum number of iterations ranges from {1e3, 1e4, 1e5, 1e6}, and the convergence criterion is set to 1e-4.

[0116] During the grid search process, the training set was divided into a parameter tuning training set and a parameter tuning verification set at a ratio of 4:1, and the grid search was performed. The optimal parameters obtained by the Al element composition detection model include the number of principal components 12, the maximum number of iterations 1e 3 and convergence criterion 1e -4 The optimal parameters of the Fe element composition detection model include the number of principal components 13, the maximum number of iterations 1e 3 and convergence criterion 1e -4 The optimal parameters of the Si element composition detection model include the number of principal components 16, the maximum number of iterations 1e 5 and convergence criterion 1e -4 .

[0117] S210: Repeat steps 104 to 105, and average every 10 spectral data to obtain the continuous transmission spectral data.

[0118] The belt transmission time of the continuous transmission is set to 4s, that is, the continuous placement distance of the sample is 6m. Since the transmission belt length is less than 6m, the block bauxite samples are continuously added to the transmission belt during the belt transmission process.

[0119] The data size of the continuous transmission spectrum data is (4096, n3). Since step 110 simulates a real production environment to test the composition of bauxite, n3 is not a fixed value, but it is necessary to ensure that n3 ≥ 2 during the test. Assuming that the spectrum data set obtained in step 105 contains n qualified spectra, n3 = n / m.

[0120] S211: Read the optimal model, input each spectral data of the continuous transmission spectral data into the optimal model, obtain the composition of the three elements Al, Fe, and Si in the bauxite corresponding to each spectral data, and average the obtained bauxite composition to obtain the composition detection values ​​of the three elements Al, Fe, and Si in the continuous transmission bauxite.

[0121] Figure 5This is a schematic diagram of the present invention's continuous transmission bauxite component detection. A total of 40 spectral data were collected in this detection. After spectral preprocessing, the distance from S was calculated. All 40 data met the requirements. By averaging every 10 spectra, we obtained Figure 5 Spectra 1 to 4 in the figure are calculated by the model to obtain components 1 to 4 corresponding to the four spectra. The Al, Fe, and Si elemental compositions are averaged to obtain the detection value of the bauxite composition of one continuous transmission.

[0122] In summary, the online detection method and system for bauxite composition disclosed in this application are different from traditional composition detection. Based on laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy technology and machine learning technology, bauxite composition information can be detected in real time without sampling and offline analysis. This application constructs a bauxite classification spectrum, screens out spectral data that is unqualified due to sample gaps, and improves the detection robustness of bulk samples on the production line. The use of spectral preprocessing technology eliminates baseline offset and background noise interference to a certain extent; the use of a three-level averaging strategy increases the representativeness of the detected data, improves the accuracy of online detection and analysis of bauxite composition, and promotes the application of online detection technology.
