Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of iron and steel metallurgy technology, and particularly relates to a method for predicting the drum strength of vanadium-titanium sinter. Background Technology

[0002] The quality of sinter directly affects the stable operation of the blast furnace. The sinter production process requires different types of iron concentrate to be mixed in calculated proportions and sintered to obtain finished sinter. Then, samples are taken and graded, and the drum strength of the sinter is tested manually. This method is simple, direct, and relatively accurate. However, due to the special nature of the equipment and the lag in the sintering process, this process is relatively long, resulting in a serious lag in the test data. From sintering batching to obtaining the drum strength of the sinter, the time is more than 5 hours, making it difficult to predict changes in sinter quality in real time.

[0003] The research and application of a sinter quality prediction system based on a combined model by Shao Huijun of Wuhan University of Science and Technology, based on the analysis of the sintering process mechanism and its characteristics, summarizes the main factors affecting sinter quality and establishes a sinter quality prediction model. The "Sinter Drum Strength Prediction Model and System Based on an Improved Transformer Network" can also predict sinter strength and other indicators relatively well. However, these models require many complex parameters and are designed for ordinary sintering without TiO2. In such cases, TiO2 in the raw materials undergoes complex reactions during sintering, and ilmenite in vanadium-titanium ore is difficult to fully react with fluxes (such as limestone and silicon-containing materials) to form a crystalline phase, resulting in unstable and highly variable sinter quality. Therefore, the ability to quickly and accurately predict the drum strength of sinter to provide support for blast furnace production operations is particularly important. Summary of the Invention
