Objective

The aim of this project is the adaptation and optimisation of laser-based sensing (LIBS) in plant processing conditions, to develop a quick/on-line, in- situ, integrated inference system for the measurement of process-critical components of molten slags. Different metallurgical slags in steel-making (EAF, Converter and Ladle) will be used and the determination of the main systems oxydes concentration as well as other components will be targeted through detection of their elemental concentration. The operative parameters of slag processing, needed or being useful for taking correction measures and for intervention on-line, as oxidation potential, basicity, recycling capacity will be determined through integrating sensing and advanced process modelling, to ensure representativity of measurements and transferability of results.
