Abstract

To solve the problem that the prediction accuracy of coal ash slagging behavior is generally low by single index, a model has been built up for the prediction purpose based on partial least squares (PLS) method and cross-validation theory, which includes four input variables, such as the softening temperature, base-acid ratio, percentage of silicon content and silica-alumina ratio, and one output variable, i.e. the slagging rate. A new concept of isotropic and anisotropic index is proposed, according to which the influence of each index on the slagging behavior is qualitatively analyzed, and subsequently an evaluation criterion is obtained combined with relevant fitting equations. Measurement results show that the proposed PLS model is much more accurate in prediction than that of single index, proving the model to be reasonable and feasible.
