step S201: dividing the process flow according to the working procedures to obtain a plurality of process units to be built;
in the specific implementation process, in nonferrous metal metallurgy application, the functions, the production capacity parameter information and the like of each process unit are determined based on basic metallurgy at a microscopic level and professional metallurgy technology at a boundary level. The process unit is a process step, i.e. procedure, in the nonferrous metal metallurgy process. The function of a process unit refers to the specific function that is achieved in the nonferrous metallurgical production process, such as: comparing the functions of mineral or element leaching, washing, purifying, enriching, separating, oxidizing, reducing, refining, electrolyzing and the like. Specifically, the metallurgical process is divided into process units according to the sequence of the process steps according to the process flow, and each process unit corresponds to one process step, namely a working procedure.

The existing logistics simulation and system simulation software can perform flow simulation of material flow and limited information flow, but cannot meet the actual requirements of information flow, energy flow and value flow simulation. The modeling method fully considers the material flow, the energy flow, the value flow and the information flow, and can digitally display various flow data information.
Step S204: constructing an environment data configuration model corresponding to each process unit, wherein the environment data configuration model configures the acquired environment data for the process units, and the data types of the environment data comprise one or more of water supply data, heat supply data, power supply data, steam supply data, material data, energy data and kinetic energy supply data;

in the implementation process, determining a plurality of chemical reaction equations for realizing the functions of the process units; for example: the metallurgical chemical reaction equation for the high pressure acid leaching process unit includes:

According to different functions, the information of each reaction parameter contained in the reaction data set is different.
Step S207: constructing a system state set model corresponding to each process unit respectively;
in the specific implementation process, the construction of the system state set model comprises the following steps:
step A: analyzing the reaction parameter information by adopting a preset factor analysis method, and determining to obtain target reaction parameter information and a value range corresponding to the target reaction parameter information;
in the specific implementation process of the step, the preset factor analysis method can be a theoretical derivation method, an experimental method, a production actual measurement data method, a neural network and the like. Each target influencing factor may be determined experimentally. For example: figure 3 shows a flow chart of the laterite-nickel ore hydrometallurgical process of the application, including the various process elements. In the laterite-nickel ore wet smelting, a single-factor experiment method is adopted to determine that the process unit is the target influencing factor of the high-pressure acid leaching process, and the specific process is as follows: first,: and determining the influence of the temperature on leaching by adopting a single factor analysis method. With the rise of the temperature, the leaching rate of nickel is obviously improved, which indicates that the improvement of the temperature is favorable for increasing the leaching rate of nickel, and when the leaching temperature is 260 ℃, the leaching rate of nickel reaches 95.6 percent. Meanwhile, as the temperature rises, the leaching rate of iron is reduced, and after the leaching temperature reaches 230 ℃, the leaching rate of iron is lower than 5%, and the concentration of iron in the solution is lower. The temperature is increased, which is favorable for selectively and directionally leaching laterite-nickel ore, namely, the leaching rate of nickel can be increased, and the leaching rate of iron can be inhibited. The effect curve of temperature on nickel leaching effect is shown in fig. 4. Then: and the influence of the acid-ore ratio on leaching is determined by adopting a single-factor analysis method, the acid-ore ratio is an important factor influencing the nickel leaching rate, and the nickel leaching rate can be improved by increasing the acid-ore ratio. When the acid-ore ratio is increased from 0.4:1 to 0.5:1, the leaching rate is greatly increased, when the acid-ore ratio is 0.65:1, the nickel leaching rate reaches the highest value of 97.1%, and the leaching rate of iron is also increased along with the increase of the acid-ore ratio, but at a lower level. The acid consumption in the pressure leaching process is mainly determined by the magnesium content in the ore, enough sulfuric acid is added for completely leaching nickel in the ore, but the cost is increased due to the excessively high acid-ore ratio, and the excessive free acid in the leaching solution is also unfavorable for the hydrolysis of Fe and the subsequent treatment of the leaching solution. In the experiment, the leaching rate of nickel reaches 95% when the acid-ore ratio is 0.6:1, the leaching rate is only improved from 95% to 97.1% when the acid-ore ratio is improved from 0.6:1 to 0.5:1, and the optimal acid-ore ratio is selected as 0.6:1 in consideration of the cost and the acidity of the leaching solution. The effect curve of acid mine comparison on nickel leaching effect is shown in fig. 5. Further, a single factor analysis method is used to determine the effect of the liquid-solid ratio on leaching. The leaching rate of nickel is reduced along with the increase of the liquid-solid ratio, because the increase of the liquid-solid ratio reduces free acid in the solution, which is unfavorable for the leaching of nickel, and the leaching rate of iron is reduced along with the increase of the liquid-solid ratio, on the one hand, because the increase of the liquid-solid ratio reduces acidity, which is unfavorable for the leaching of iron, and on the other hand, because the low acidity is favorable for the hydrolysis of iron, so that the total leaching rate of iron is reduced. The effect curve of the liquid-solid ratio on the leaching effect of nickel is shown in fig. 6. Further, a single factor analysis method was used to determine the effect of time on leaching. The leaching rate of nickel and iron is not changed greatly with the increase of time, which indicates that the leaching reaction is performed quickly under the high-temperature and high-pressure conditions, and only enough reaction time is ensured. The effect of incubation time on nickel leaching effect is shown in figure 7. Further, a single factor analysis method was used to determine the effect of ore particle size on leaching. The leaching rate is not greatly influenced by the ore degree, the leaching rate in each degree range can basically reach 90%, and the nickel leaching rate is not influenced as long as the granularity is within a certain range. The effect curve of ore particle size on nickel extraction is shown in fig. 8. As shown by a single factor test, the main influencing factors of the high-pressure leaching are temperature, acid-ore ratio and liquid-solid ratio which are 3. The time and the ore granularity can meet a certain range, the time is more than 1h, and the ore granularity is-0.075 mm. According to the test conclusion and the process requirement, determining the temperature, the acid-ore ratio, the liquid-solid ratio, the pressure, the volume of the autoclave and the stirring speed as all the intermediate influencing factors. The value range of each intermediate influencing factor is as follows: the temperature T=250-270 ℃, the acid-ore ratio K=200-230 Kg/T ore, the liquid-solid ratio F=1.5:1-3:1, the pressure P=4-5 MPa, the autoclave volume V=800 m3, the diameter 5.6m, the length 42m, the stirring speed n=80-120 revolutions per minute, the time T >1h, the ore granularity: -0.075mm. Screening the intermediate influencing factors to obtain a plurality of target influencing factors for determining the state simulation parameters of the target system; specifically, the intermediate influencing factors determined by the single factor analysis method are screened to obtain the main influencing factors of the nickel leaching rate: temperature, acid-ore ratio, liquid-solid ratio to obtain the target influencing factors.
And (B) step (B): taking the target reaction parameter information as a system state variable to construct a system state function corresponding to the current process unit;
in the implementation process of this step, the system status function may be represented by the following formula 1:
(1)
where S is the system state, and where S is the system state,representing the nickel leaching rate, the system state can be represented by the following equation 2:
(2)
wherein T represents temperature, K represents acid-ore ratio, F represents liquid-solid ratio, T, K, F is a target influencing factor, and in practical application, the types and the amounts of the target influencing factors of nonferrous metal metallurgy processes of different ores are different, and the state variables and the amounts of the system need to be adjusted according to the practical metallurgy process.
Step C: determining a plurality of parameter values respectively corresponding to the system state variables in the value ranges;
in the specific implementation process, comprehensive tests are carried out according to the target influence factor temperature, the acid-ore ratio and the liquid-solid ratio selected by the single factor experiment. Experimental data are shown in table 1:
TABLE 1
And carrying out 27 groups of tests, wherein each group of test results corresponds to one system state, the total number of the system states is 27, and the specific function value in each system state is calculated by adopting an interpolation method according to the actual values of variables such as temperature, acid-mine ratio, liquid-solid ratio and the like. The 27 sets of test data are shown in table 2:
TABLE 2
Step D: and matching the parameter values to construct a system state set model meeting the preset design requirement.
