Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of copper ore smelting and processing, and in particular to a method for intelligent batching of multiple copper concentrates. Background Art

[0002] The smelting batching process is to mix copper concentrate, miscellaneous ores, quartz sand, pulverized coal and other materials from different sources into a mixture that meets the smelting requirements. It is the first step in the smelting process. The traditional batching method is based on the material inspection and testing results, and the formula is edited in the Excel table for calculation. By continuously adjusting the proportion of different minerals, the batching results that meet the production requirements are obtained.

[0003] The proportion of various materials in this traditional batching mode mainly depends on the production scheduling experience accumulated by the dispatchers over the years, and is manually calculated and prepared by comprehensively considering the quantity, composition, output and various production process conditions of the concentrate and miscellaneous ores entering the factory. However, due to the wide range of concentrate sources and large composition deviations, it was difficult to balance the relationship between the various influencing factors by judging and determining the proportions through human subjective consciousness, and it was also difficult to accurately grasp whether the mixed concentrate could meet the process requirements to the maximum extent.
