This book discusses the intelligent optimization and control of complex
metallurgical processes, including intelligent optimization and control
of raw-material proportioning processes, coking process, and reheating
furnaces; intelligent control of thermal state parameters in sintering
processes; and intelligent decoupling control of gas collection and
mixing-and-pressurization processes. The intelligent control and
optimization methods presented were originally applied to complex
metallurgical processes by the authors, and their effectiveness and their
advantages have been theoretically proven and demonstrated practically.
This book offers an up-to-date overview of this active research area,
and provides readers with state-of-the-art methods for the control of
complex metallurgical processes.
