ABSTRACT

The control and optimization of various non-ferrous smelting and converting processes as well as iron and steel making processes have mostly been and are still carried out in a traditional static way. It has been always attempted to find the best unique set of conditions where the smelting, converting or iron and steel making processes could run smoothly. However this is associated with natural difficulties and some times has proven impossible due to the inherent characteristics of the raw materials and the new smelting technologies. In this work a new approach for the control and optimization of these processes has been exposed. This not only allows a continuous on-line control and optimization of the smelting processes but at the same time can serve as an adequate means of automation of any specific process. The advantages of this new approach have also been discussed.
