Prediction of Silicon Content in Molten Iron of Blast Furnace Based on Multi-dimensional Sequential Characteristic Reconstruction

Abstract

Molten iron is the primary output of blast furnace production. The content of silicon in molten iron clearly correlates with blast furnace temperature. However, due to the intricate conditions of blast furnace production, the silicon content in molten iron is nonlinear and unstable. Therefore, this paper adopts variational mode decomposition (VMD) to decompose and extract the feature information of the real silicon content data of LY Steel in March 2022, then uses Grey Wolf optimization (GWO) algorithm to optimize the parameters of the support vector regression (SVR) prediction model, and takes the decomposed data as model input for experimental verification. By comparing the predicted results with the real historical data of blast furnace production, it is found that the degree of fit is about 94.2%, which offers a new idea for the prediction of silicon content.
