摘要
As energy efficiency becomes increasingly important to the steel industry, the iron ore sintering process is attracting more attention since it consumes the second large amount of energy in the iron and steel making processes. The present work aims to propose a prediction model for the iron ore sintering characters. A hybrid ensemble model combined the extreme learning machine (ELM) with an improved AdaBoost.RT algorithm is developed for regression problem. First, the factors that affect solid fuel consumption, gas fuel consumption, burn-through point (BTP), and tumbler index (TI) are ranked according to the attributes weightiness sequence by applying the RReliefF method. Second, the ELM network is selected as an ensemble predictor due to its fast learning speed and good generalization performance. Third, an improved AdaBoost.RT is established to overcome the limitation of conventional AdaBoost.RT by dynamically self-adjusting the threshold value. Then, an ensemble ELM is employed by using the improved AdaBoost.RT for better precision than individual predictor. Finally, this hybrid ensemble model is applied to predict the iron ore sintering characters by production data from No. 4 sintering machine in Baosteel. The results obtained show that the proposed model is effective and feasible for the practical sintering process. In addition, through analyzing the first superior factors, the energy efficiency and sinter quality could be obviously improved.
