Modeling and simulation for iron-flow network of iron and steel production processes
A dynamic model for iron-flow network of iron and steel production processes was established based on system dynamics.The dynamic characteristics of the product iron-flow,the loss iron-flow and the iron stock in three practical iron and steel production processes of Shouqin,old Anshan and western Anshan iron and steel companies were simulated from the period of materials putting into the sintering machine to the product steady output.The results showed that the compactness of sintering,ironmaking and steelmaking procedures in Shouqin process is better,while the iron resource utilization of sintering and rolling procedures is relatively lower and the technology and production capacity of rolling procedure need to be improved.The iron resource utilization of ironmaking and rolling procedures in old Anshan process is better,while rolling procedure needs to be improved.The iron resource utilization of steelmaking procedure in western Anshan process is better.
