Included in this is the integration of extremal optimization （EO） and Levenberg-Marquardt （LM） pradicnt search, and its application in BOF endpoint quality prediction. The fundamental analysis reveals that the proposed EO-LM algorithm may provide superior performance in generalization, computation efficiency, and avoid local minima, compared to traditional NN learning methods. Experimental results with production-scale BOF data show that the proposed method can effectively improve the NN model for BOF endpoint quality prediction.展开更多

This lagoon contained complex hazardous substances such as heavy metals and accumulative pollutants which stayed over time with a poor biodegradability. According to the characteristics of wastewater in the lagoon, the micro-electrolysis process was applied to improve the biodegradability before the bioprocess treatment. By the orthogonal experimental study of main factors influencing the efficiency of the treatment method, the best control parameters were obtained, including pH=2.0, a volume ratio of Fe and reaction wastewater of 0.03750, a volume ratio of Fe and the granular activated carbon (GAC) of 2.0, a mixing speed of 200 r/min, and a hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 1.5 h. In the meantime, the removal rate of chemical oxygen demand (COD) was up to 64.6%, and NH4+-N and Pb in the influent were partly removed. After the micro-electrolysis process, the ratio of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) to COD (B/C ratio) was greater than 0.6, thus providing a favorable basis for bioprocess treatment.展开更多
