Abstract

To realize the predictive control of coal preparation quality and ensure that the quality of washing products is close to the minimum coal quality requirement of coal blending to the greatest extent is one of the important means to maximize production and maintain the interests of customers and enterprises. Therefore, the feasibility of introducing the double response surface method and multiobjective genetic algorithm to solve the aforementioned problems is further discussed. By selecting the controllable factors and noise factors affecting the output and determining their respective value levels, the product table method is used to design the robust parameter design test, and the experimental results are obtained, according to the experimental data, the second-order polynomial model of the mean and standard deviation of each response characteristic is established, and the effectiveness of the model is analyzed. Then, the double-response optimization function of each response characteristic is established according to the type of response characteristic. Finally, the corresponding parameter values are solved by multiobjective genetic algorithm. The internal and external surface method is used to design and run 60 tests. Through optimization analysis, the robust parameter settings are 150.68 kpa, 0.18143.73 kpa, and 30%, and the optimal output is ash 8.499%, which yields 69.54%, meeting the requirements of stakeholders. Moreover, compared with the traditional optimization design method, the superiority of the proposed method is verified, which shows that this method is conducive to the transformation of the coal preparation plant from fire-fighting quality management to preventive quality management and provides support for the accurate control and systematic management of the production process of the coal preparation plant.
