Optimization method of double-stream alumina digestion process parameters
The double-stream alumina digestion process is a key production chain in Bayer process of alumina production. It is the unique production technology in China. However
the double-stream alumina digestion process has problems that the evaporate water capacity of flash vessel is not fully exploited
scaling causes increased new steam consumption
meanwhile
working points are set manually
which causes the high energy consumption. Thus
the exergy optimization model of the double-stream alumina digestion is established
and the digestion process is divided into three stages based on the degree of scab in a pickling cycle. An adaptive state transition algorithm is proposed to optimize the operating parameter of the three stages of the digestion process
respectively. Then
optimal process control parameters are obtained
which is meaningful to provide suggestions for practical production.
