Principal component analysis （PCA） and partial least- square （PLS） regression methods were used to predict the hot metal silicon content. Under the conditions of BF rela- tively stable situation, PCA and PLS regression models of hot metal silicon content utilizing data from Baotou Steel No. 6 BF were established, which provided the accuracy of 88.4% and 89.2%. PLS model used less variables and time than principal component analysis model, and it was simple to calculate. It is shown that the model gives good results and is helpful for practical production.展开更多

A standardized fuzzy system model was developed to approach the random nonlinear dynamic system of the change of silicon content, forecast the change of silicon content and calculate silicon content. The prediction of hot metal silicon content is very successful with the data collected online from BF No. 1 at Laiwu Iron and Steel Group Co.展开更多
To resolve the difficulty in slag formation during steelmaking with low silicon hot metal and to increase productivity, a new 5-hole lance was developed by increasing oxygen flow from 50 000 m^3/h to 60 000 m^3/h.

Synthetic slag was added to adjust the slag composition. The problems such as difficulty in dephosphorization and slag adhesion to oxygen lance and hood were settled. Steel production and metal yield were increased and the nozzle life was prolonged through these techniques.展开更多

To overcome these problems, experiments wcrc conducted and some improvements were obtained, such as adding appropriate flux, increasing the lance position slightly during steelmaking and using effective multi-outlet nozzle. Moreover, to keep normal heating rate, the ore and scrap charge should be reduced due to less chemical heat input in steelmaking.展开更多
