dc.description.abstractIn steelmaking process, close control of slag evolution is as important as control of steel composition. However, there are no industrially consolidated techniques that allow in-situ analysis of the slag chemical composition, as in the case of steel with OES-spectrometers. In this work, a method to analyze spectral reflectance of ladle furnace slag samples to estimate their composition is proposed. This method does not require sample preprocessing and is based on a regression algorithm that mathematically maps the spectral reflectance of the slag with its actual composition with errors lower than 10%. Specifically designed normalization and calibration steps have been proposed to allow a global model training with data from different locations. This allows real-time monitoring of the thermodynamical state of the steel process by feeding a thermodynamic equilibrium optimization model. The system has been validated on several ArcelorMittal locations achieving process savings of 0.71 Euro per liquid steel tons.en
