Characterization model of silicon dioxide melting based On image analysis

Abstract

The silicon dioxide is the hardest part to melt among the iron tailing components, the melting behavior of iron tailing can be represented by the melting behavior of silicon dioxide. Estimating the real-time melting rate of silicon dioxide in the time sequence provide guidance for the tailing addition and heat compensation in the process of slag cotton preparation, also indirectly improved the direct fiber forming technology of blast furnace slag. The position of silicon dioxide particles in the high-temperature molten pool during the melting process is changing constantly, using a strong weighted distance centroid algorithm to rack the centroid position of silicon dioxide particles during the melting process, and present the motion trail of centroid of silicon dioxide. In the paper, extracting indexes which represent the edge outline characteristics of silicon dioxide during the melting process of silicon dioxide using Snake active contour algorithm combined with Sobel operator, include shape, perimeter and area. Using the extracted skeleton characteristics, a three-dimensional skeleton generation model is created. From the skeleton data, estimating the volume of silicon dioxide and determine the parameter formula for the actual melting rate of silicon dioxide. The silicon dioxide melting rate at each moment is calculated by numerical simulation. The results of the Hough test circle and the silicon dioxide melting rate are verified. The rationality of the model is further determined.
