Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of coal cleaning and flotation, and particularly relates to a method and system for determining clean coal yield. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the coal washing process, gravity separation refers to a mineral separation method that uses the differences in relative density, particle size, shape, movement rate and direction of particles in medium (water, air or other liquid with relatively high density) to separate the particles from each other. Flotation is a mineral separation method that separates useful minerals from useless minerals under the action of reagents according to the differences in surface properties of the minerals. The composition of the comprehensive clean coal in a coal preparation plant usually includes gravity clean coal, coarse coal slime and flotation clean coal. The combination of the ash contents of the clean coal in each link is different, and the comprehensive clean coal with ash content meeting the user requirements can still be obtained. However, different combinations of the ash contents of the clean coal will result in different comprehensive clean coal yields.
[0003] In the prior art, the washing process of most coal preparation plants is: lump coal and fine coal heavy medium-coarse slime separate recovery-coal slime flotation process. In the actual production process, in order to ensure that the ash content of the comprehensive clean coal meets the standard, each workshop formulates the ash content index of the clean coal in each link according to the artificial experience, so as to determine the separation parameters in each link. The ash content index of the clean coal in each link is usually much lower than the sales standard, so the clean coal yield is sacrificed to ensure that the ash content of the clean coal does not exceed the standard.
[0004] At present, the existing technology cannot accurately obtain the clean coal ash content that does not exceed the standard according to the artificial experience, so it is impossible to reasonably set the production parameters, and unreasonable production parameters will affect the clean coal yield.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0065] In order to make the above objectives, features and advantages of the present application more apparent, specific embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present application. However, the present application can be practiced in a number of different manners other than those described herein, and it is contemplated that some modifications of the embodiments disclosed can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application. Therefore, the present application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0066] Referring to Figure 1 The embodiment of the present application provides a method for determining clean coal yield, comprising the following steps:
[0067] Step one: obtaining a sink-float table containing float-sink table yield and historical sink feed ash under gravity separation, and a stepwise release data table containing stepwise release data table yield and historical float feed ash under flotation.
[0068] Step two: using raw coal ash and raw coal screening data to train a neural network model to predict sink feed ash and float feed ash, to obtain an ash prediction model; inputting the raw coal ash to be detected into the ash prediction model to obtain the sink feed ash and the float feed ash; correcting and updating the float-sink table yield according to the difference between the sink feed ash and the historical sink feed ash; correcting and updating the distribution release data table yield according to the difference between the float feed ash and the historical float feed ash; fitting the gravity separation actual washability curve according to the updated float-sink table; and fitting the actual floatability curve according to the updated distribution release data table.
[0069] Step three: obtaining sink clean coal ash and float clean coal ash in the gravity separation actual washability curve and the actual floatability curve, respectively, according to the boundary ash for distinguishing clean coal; obtaining total clean coal ash using the equal boundary ash principle according to the sink clean coal ash and the float clean coal ash; and setting corresponding production parameters by the total clean coal ash to determine the clean coal yield.
[0070] The specific explanation of the above steps is as follows:
[0071] 1. Based on the ash content and screening results of raw coal, a BP neural network is used to train a model to determine the density composition of the coal, thereby predicting the ash content of gravity separation feed and flotation feed.
[0072] 2. Collect historical buoyancy data of gravity separation feed and floatability data (distributed release data) of flotation feed through the coal preparation plant's centralized control system.
[0073] 3. Historical float-sink data correction: Input the ash content of the new gravity separation feed, and calculate the difference Δweight between the feed ash content and the original float-sink data. Using Δweight, correct the original float-sink data yield, and generate a new float-sink data based on the corrected yield and ash content. Figure 2 As shown.
[0074] Specifically, the steps include the following:
[0075] 3.1 Calculate Δweight:
[0076] Δrepetition = λrepetition - λrepetition
[0077] Wherein: λre-entry is the ash content of the re-selected feed; λoriginal is the ash content of the historical re-selected feed, and the ash content of the historical re-selected feed is specifically the total ash content in the float-sink table of the historical re-selected feed.
[0078] 3.2 Calculate Ad +1.8 :
[0079]
[0080] Where Adn represents the nth element greater than +1.8 g / cm³. 3 The density level of ash content; γn represents the nth ash content greater than +1.8 g / cm³. 3 Yield at density levels; n indicates greater than +1.8 g / cm³. 3 The number of density levels.
[0081] 3.3 Calculate Ad -1.8 :
[0082]
[0083] Where: Adm represents the m-th element less than -1.8 g / cm³ 3 The density level of ash content; γm represents the m-th ash content less than -1.8 g / cm³. 3 Yield at density levels; m indicates less than -1.8 g / cm³. 3 The number of density levels.
[0084] 3.4 Calculate the calibration value X:
[0085] X = (100 * Δ weight) / (Ad) +1.8 -Ad -1.8 )
[0086] 3.5 Correcting the sink-float table yield:
[0087] If the density class is +1.8 g / cm 3 :
[0088] γcorrected = γ + X
[0089] If the density class is -1.8 g / cm 3 :
[0090]
[0091] Where γcorrected represents the yield of the corresponding density class after correction, and γ represents the yield of the corresponding density class before correction.
[0092] 4. Drawing of the actual selectivity curve: the percentage of the amount of a certain density class in the raw material that enters the light product in the raw material is called the distribution rate of the density class in the light product, denoted by the symbol e. The corresponding distribution rates of the separation density at 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6 and 1.7 are calculated: the value of the intermediate value t is calculated, the value of e is calculated according to the high-level language python, the data table of the actual selectivity curve of gravity separation is calculated, and the actual selectivity curve of gravity separation is fitted and drawn, as shown in Figure 3 .
[0093] The empirical formula for calculating the intermediate parameter t is:
[0094] t = 0.675 / E * (δ - δp)
[0095] Where δ represents the average density of each density class, and δp represents the actual separation density.
[0096] The python high-level language for calculating the value of e is:
[0097]
[0098] The fitting formula of the actual floatability curve is:
[0099] y = 100 * (b - np.arctan(c * (x - d))) * (b - a)
[0100] Where a, b, c, d, and x are undetermined parameters.
[0101] 5. Correction of historical step release data: input the ash content of the new flotation feed, calculate the difference Δfloat between the ash content of the feed and the total ash content of the original step release data table. Use Δfloat to correct the yield of the original step release data table, and generate a new distribution release data table based on the corrected yield and ash content, as shown in Figure 4 , the actual floatability curve is fitted and drawn, as shown in Figure 5As shown.
[0102] The difference Δfloat is obtained by comparing the ash content of the flotation feed with the historical ash content of the flotation feed. The formula is:
[0103] Δbuoyancy = λbuoyancy_in - λbuoyancy_origin
[0104] Wherein, λfloat represents the ash content of the flotation feed; λfloat origin represents the ash content of the historical flotation feed, specifically the weighted ash content of each tailings coal in the historical distribution release data table.
[0105] Obtain the ash content of the first tailings release. 轻 The formula is:
[0106]
[0107] Where Adtailm represents the ash content of the m-th tailings in the distributed release; γtailm represents the yield of the m-th tailings in the distributed release; m represents the number of flotation times in the distributed release test; Adclean represents the ash content of the clean coal in the distributed release; γclean represents the yield of the clean coal in the distributed release; and γtail1 represents the yield of the first tailings in the distributed release.
[0108] The calibration value X is obtained using the following formula:
[0109] X = (100 * Δbuoyancy) / (Ad) 尾1 -Ad 轻 )
[0110] Among them, Ad 尾1 This indicates the ash content of the first batch of tailings released.
[0111] Correct the yield of the distributed release table.
[0112] For the distributed release of tailings from the first flotation stage:
[0113] γ correction = γ tail 1 + X
[0114] For the distributed release of tailings from the m-th flotation (m>=2):
[0115] γ correction = γ tail m - γ tail m * X / (100 - γ tail 1)
[0116] For distributed release of refined coal:
[0117] γ correction = γ precision - γ precision * X / (100 - γ tail 1)
[0118] Wherein, γ correction represents the yield of clean (tailings) coal after the corresponding flotation number of times after correction, and γ* represents the yield of clean (tailings) coal before the corresponding flotation number of times.
[0119] 6. Determine the reselection process parameters: according to the purpose of ash A set boundary ash λ, check the ash characteristic curve (λ curve) of the actual reselection selectivity curve, so as to obtain its corresponding ordinate a2, that is, the reselection clean coal yield. Bring a2 into the cumulative float of the float curve (β curve), so as to obtain the corresponding abscissa a3, that is, the reselection clean coal ash.
[0120] 7. Determine the flotation process parameters: input the boundary ash λ, check the λ curve of the actual floatability curve, so as to obtain its corresponding ordinate b2, that is, the flotation clean coal yield. Bring b2 into the β curve to obtain the corresponding abscissa b3, that is, the flotation clean coal ash.
[0121] 8. Determine the product structure: calculate the effect of each separation operation according to the equal boundary ash principle, calculate the total clean coal ash A, so as to set the corresponding production parameters.
[0122] According to the weighted average ash of the reselection clean coal ash and the flotation clean coal ash, the total clean coal ash A is obtained.
[0123] According to the equal boundary ash principle, when the total clean coal ash and the target clean coal ash are less than the set error standard value, the clean coal yield obtained is higher than that when the total clean coal ash and the target clean coal ash are greater than the set error standard value.
[0124] Set the error standard value ε, the step size α and the target clean coal ash A.
[0125] If |A-A|>ε:
[0126] When A>A, A=A-α; when A<A, A=A+α.
[0127] If |A-A|<ε, the total clean coal ash A meets the requirements.
[0128] On the density curve in the actual selectivity curve of gravity separation, the total clean coal ash is taken as the ordinate value, and the corresponding abscissa value is obtained as the separation density of the gravity separation link.
[0129] On the cumulative yield-distribution release test number curve in the actual floatability curve, the total clean coal ash is taken as the ordinate value, and the corresponding abscissa value is obtained as the optimal flotation section number of the flotation link.
[0130] The present application designs a calculation template for maximizing the clean coal yield. When the raw coal properties or the required product structure of the user changes, only the corresponding raw coal ash or boundary ash set value in the template needs to be changed, and the template can output the theoretical ash of each link and the product structure, as well as the total clean coal yield and ash, and transmit the calculation results to the control module to realize accurate control of the product structure.
[0131] The clean coal yield maximization system based on big data comprises a knowledge base for storing a database of professional knowledge, a database for recording and storing input data of experts and technical personnel, experimental data and operation, reasoning and process data in the expert system, a reasoning machine for matching appropriate output values through preset reasoning logic according to input values, an interpreter for modifying or explaining the output values of the reasoning machine, and a man-machine interactive interface for establishing a communication connection with a user interface, transmitting instructions, displaying data and manually inputting control parameters. The database further comprises experience data, and processing of the experience data comprises: storing original float-and-sink data, distribution release data, and screening data and the proportion of entering gravity separation and floatation under corresponding coal quality; when the equipment fails or the index is abnormal, the adjustment parameters manually input by the technical personnel and the corresponding clean coal requirement will be divided and the clean coal requirement will be divided.
[0132] The present application has the following beneficial effects:
[0133] The present application adopts a clean coal yield maximization calculation method based on big data, replaces the cumbersome series of experimental steps of traditional raw coal medium analysis, predicts the properties of raw coal through big data, can accurately and quickly determine the raw coal washing proportion, and calculates the theoretical clean coal ash of each link under the condition of requiring clean coal ash to maximize the clean coal yield with the help of the equal boundary ash principle, can not only reduce the labor intensity of the operator's test, but also eliminate the interference of human factors, improve the efficiency and scientificity of the preparation of the washing scheme, and significantly improve the automation and intelligence level of the whole coal preparation process, guarantee the realization of the clean coal yield maximization, i.e., the maximization of economic benefits.
[0134] The present application provides a kind of determination system of clean coal yield, comprising:

[0136] The yield correction module is used to train a neural network model using raw coal ash content and raw coal screening data to predict the ash content of gravity separation feed and flotation feed, thus obtaining an ash content prediction model. The raw coal ash content to be tested is input into the ash content prediction model to obtain the ash content of gravity separation feed and flotation feed. Based on the difference between the gravity separation feed ash content and historical gravity separation feed ash content, the yield of the flotation table is corrected and updated. Based on the difference between the flotation feed ash content and historical flotation feed ash content, the yield of the distribution release data table is corrected and updated. Based on the updated flotation table, the actual gravity separation selectivity curve is fitted. Based on the updated distribution release data table, the actual floatability curve is fitted.
[0137] The yield improvement module is used to obtain the ash content of gravity separation clean coal and flotation clean coal respectively from the actual washability curve and the actual floatability curve of gravity separation, based on the boundary ash content used to distinguish clean coal; based on the ash content of gravity separation clean coal and flotation clean coal, the total clean coal ash content is obtained using the equal boundary ash content principle; and the corresponding production parameters are set according to the total clean coal ash content to determine the clean coal yield.

[0140] The calculation template for maximizing clean coal yield is used when the properties of raw coal or the required product structure changes. Only the corresponding raw coal ash content or boundary ash content setting value in the template needs to be changed. The template can then output the theoretical ash content and product structure of each stage, as well as the total clean coal yield and ash content, and transmit the calculation results to the control module to achieve precise control of the product structure. Specifically, the big data-based clean coal yield maximization system includes a knowledge base, a database, an inference engine, an interpreter, and a human-computer interaction interface. The knowledge base stores databases of professional domain knowledge, and the database records input data, experimental data, and computational, inference, and process data from experts and technicians.

[0144] S1. Collecting the historical float and sink data of the gravity separation feed and the floatability data (distribution release data) of the floatation feed through the centralized control system of the coal preparation plant.
[0145] S2. It can be seen from the raw coal ash content and the raw coal screening result that when the raw coal ash content changes, the yield of the-1.5 density level and the yield of the+1.8 density level change the most compared with others, and the yield of the-1.5 density level and the yield of the+1.8 density level fluctuate the most compared with the baseline. Therefore, the change of the raw coal ash content has the greatest influence on the yield of the-1.5 density level and the yield of the+1.8 density level. In the actual production process, the separation parameters such as separation density are rarely changed, so when the raw coal quality changes, the change of the raw coal quality is also reflected in the change of the ash content of the gravity separation product clean coal, middlings and gangue, that is, there is a certain influence relationship between the yield of the-1.5 density level, the yield of the+1.8 density level and the ash content of the gravity separation product clean coal, middlings and gangue, so the raw coal ash content, the ash content of the gravity separation product clean coal, middlings and gangue can be used as independent variables, and the yield of the-1.5 density level and the yield of the+1.8 density level can be used as dependent variables to train the model by BP neural network to determine the density composition of the coal, so as to predict the ash content of the gravity separation feed and the ash content of the floatation feed.
[0146] Because the four input parameter values differ greatly, in order to avoid the influence of the difference of the values on the effect of the model, the data is scaled. The scaling processing includes data normalization and data standardization, and the data normalization is mainly used to process the data in this paper, that is, each sample data is mapped to [-1, 1], and the formula is:
[0147]
[0148] where y max and y min are parameters, and the default values are -1 and 1, x min is the minimum value of the original data to be processed, x max is the maximum value of the original data to be processed, and a is the original data after normalization processing. When the data is output, the data is denormalized.
[0149] S3. History sink-float data correction: input new re-election feed ash content, calculate the difference Δre between the feed ash content and the original table ash content, use Δre to correct the original sink-float table yield, and generate a new sink-float table based on the corrected yield and ash content, Figure 2 is the corrected sink-float data table.

[0151] S5. History step release data correction: input new flotation feed ash content, calculate the difference Δf1 between the feed ash content and the total ash content of the original step release data table, use Δf1 to correct the yield of the original step release data table, and generate a new distribution release data table based on the corrected yield and ash content, and fit and draw the actual floatability curve, Figure 4 and Figure 5 are the corrected step release data table and the fitted and drawn actual floatability curve, respectively.
[0152] S6. Determine the re-election process parameters: set the boundary ash content λ according to the target ash content Atarget, find the λ curve of the actual selectability curve of re-election, and obtain the corresponding ordinate a2, which is the yield of re-election clean coal. Bring a2 into the cumulative β curve of the float, and obtain the corresponding abscissa a3, which is the ash content of the re-election clean coal; bring a2 into the density δ curve, and obtain the corresponding upper abscissa a4, which is the theoretical separation density of re-election.
[0153] S7. Determining the floatation process parameters: input the boundary ash content λ, search the λ curve of the actual floatability curve, thus obtaining its corresponding ordinate b2, which is the clean coal yield of floatation. Bring b2 into the β curve to obtain the corresponding abscissa b3, which is the clean coal ash content of floatation; bring b2 into the v curve to obtain the corresponding abscissa b4, which is the optimal floatation times.
[0154] S8. Determining the product structure: calculate the effect of each separation operation according to the equal boundary ash content principle, calculate the total clean coal ash content A, and at the same time, set the corresponding production parameters; set a4 as the theoretical separation density of gravity separation, and b4 as the optimal floatation stage number.
[0155] The basic theory of the principle of the lowest clean coal ash content and the highest clean coal yield is that, in consideration of the recovery rate of combustible matter, when two or more than two kinds of coal are separated respectively, in order to make the total clean coal ash content lowest or the total clean coal yield highest, the principle of equal elementary ash content must be followed.
