矿浆电解槽固液悬浮过程流场和浓度场的快速预测

摘要: 矿浆电解作为一种湿法冶金工艺,具有流程短、能耗低、过程环保等优点。然而,多槽串联的特点导致槽内工况多变、工艺参数调控复杂,已有的搅拌经验公式和颗粒悬浮特性无法满足矿浆电解生产需求。基于此,本文提出利用计算流体动力学(CFD)与机器学习相结合的方法,构建了矿浆电解槽固液悬浮过程流场和浓度场的快速预测模型。通过正交试验科学地选取计算点,在有效减少仿真工况数量的情况下建立了覆盖较为全面的训练数据集,同时也为预测模型提供合理的权重;最后结合K-最近邻算法构建了矿浆电解槽场信息预测模型。结果表明:随着正交试验中水平个数的增加,模型的预测精度显著提高。采用4因素9水平所建立的模型能够准确地预测槽内流场和浓度场信息,其中平均速度和平均固体浓度的预测回归系数分别为0.926和0.937。相较于传统CFD计算,预测流场和浓度场的响应时间从75 h缩短至20 s,解决了数值模拟应用于实际生产时存在严重滞后性的问题,从而满足实时生产调控需求。

 

Rapid prediction of flow and concentration fields in solid–liquid suspensions of slurry electrolysis tanks

Abstract: Slurry electrolysis (SE), as a hydrometallurgical process, has the characteristic of a multitank series connection, which leads to various stirring conditions and a complex solid suspension state. The computational fluid dynamics (CFD), which requires high computing resources, and a combination with machine learning was proposed to construct a rapid prediction model for the liquid flow and solid concentration fields in a SE tank. Through scientific selection of calculation samples via orthogonal experiments, a comprehensive dataset covering a wide range of conditions was established while effectively reducing the number of simulations and providing reasonable weights for each factor. Then, a prediction model of the SE tank was constructed using the K-nearest neighbor algorithm. The results show that with the increase in levels of orthogonal experiments, the prediction accuracy of the model improved remarkably. The model established with four factors and nine levels can accurately predict the flow and concentration fields, and the regression coefficients of average velocity and solid concentration were 0.926 and 0.937, respectively. Compared with traditional CFD, the response time of field information prediction in this model was reduced from 75 h to 20 s, which solves the problem of serious lag in CFD applied alone to actual production and meets real-time production control requirements.
