In COREX operation, the Si and S contents in hot metal are relatively high and easy-fluctuating, which is one of the problems affecting the practical operation. Accurate predictions of Si and S contents can provide theoretical references for stabilizing the fluctuations and decreasing the contents of Si and S in hot metal. Therefore, the present work established the prediction model of Si and S contents in hot metal in COREX based on BP neural network. The results show that the root-mean-square errors between the predicted value and actual value for Si and S are 0.098 and 0.0037, respectively. They are 0.070 and 0.0040 when the time-sequence lapse method is adopted, which turns out to be better. Therefore, the model is accurate and reliable to predict the Si and S contents in hot metal in COREX.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
