Abstract

The prediction of phase configurations and the optimization of operating parameters in the metallurgical process are normally achieved by the multiphase equilibrium calculation (MEC), which is formulated as a constrained optimization problem based on the principle of Gibbs free energy minimization. A revised quantum-behaved particle swarm optimization (RQPSO) algorithm has been proposed to solve the optimization problem using three-part improved strategies. Based on the KIVCET smelting characteristics, a MEC model for the KIVCET process is established and solved using the RQPSO algorithm. The calculated and industrial data of the lead grade are 96.20% and 96.33%, respectively, those of the matte grade are 19.39% and 19.68%, and the mass fractions of Pb in the predicted and industrial matte are 3.96% and 3.34%, respectively. The calculated results of the phase configuration are consistent with the actual production data, which indicates that the MEC model and RQPSO algorithm are accurate and reliable.
