Application of mixture design in optimizing complex flux to lower ash fusion temperature

Abstract

In order to achieve good results of lowering the coal ash flow temperature. three different fluxes were chosen to blend. By use of the method of mixture design, the blending proportion of complex flux was optimized. In addition, a mathematical model describing the relationship between the flow temperature and proportion of complex flux was developed. The results show that the flux of A, B and C at a mass percentage of 0, 0.52 and 0.48 resulted in the minimum coal ash flow temperature, and the prediction result of the model proved correct by the verification test. Mixture design is a available and effective method for optimizing the formulation of complex flux.
