- the state estimation unit 11c3 determines the carbon mass fraction of the molten steel, the oxygen mass fraction of the molten steel, and the mole fraction of the carbon dioxide gas of the exhaust gas over the past predetermined period (for example, the past 60 seconds), which is the cause of such a result.
- the history of changes in fractions is calculated by inverse analysis using Bayesian inference (statistical inference).
- the estimated values of the carbon mass fraction of molten steel, the oxygen mass fraction of molten steel, and the mole fraction of carbon dioxide gas of exhaust gas are expressed as probability distributions. Then, in Bayesian theory, when at least one of the carbon mass fraction of molten steel, the oxygen mass fraction of molten steel, and the mole fraction of carbon dioxide gas of exhaust gas is known, that is, the measured value is obtained. When this happens, the causal relationship between the variables related to the vacuum decarburization treatment shown in FIG. 3 is traced in reverse.

- the number of moles of carbon dioxide gas, the first term on the right side represents the number of moles of carbon dioxide gas flowing into the gas phase from molten steel by vacuum decarburization, and the second term on the right side represents the number of moles of carbon dioxide gas released into the atmosphere by exhaust gas. ..
- the end point determination unit 11c4 adds a predetermined value as a safety allowance to the average value (carbon concentration estimated value) of the probability distribution of the carbon concentration of the molten steel calculated in the process of step S3, which is the target carbon concentration. It is determined whether or not it is as follows. Then, as a result of the determination, when the value obtained by adding the predetermined value to the estimated carbon concentration value is equal to or less than the target carbon concentration (step S4: Yes), the end point determination unit 11c4 determines that the vacuum decarburization process is completed, and a series of series. Ends the decarburization end point determination process.
- step S4 when the value obtained by adding the predetermined value to the estimated carbon concentration value is larger than the target carbon concentration (step S4: No), the end point determination unit 11c4 determines that the vacuum decarburization process has not been completed, and steps S5. After increasing the value of the program counter i by 1, the decarburization end point determination process is returned to the process of step S2.
- the average value of the probability distribution of the molten steel carbon concentration is used to determine the completion of the vacuum decarburization treatment, but the maximum value or the value obtained by multiplying the standard deviation by 3 is added to the average value. May be good. If it is determined that the vacuum decarburization process has not been completed, the decarburization end point determination process returns from the process of step S4 to the process of step S2 via the process of step S5. It is desirable that the loop returning to the process of step S2 is performed with a cycle time of about 5 seconds.

- the molten steel carbon concentration at the completion of the vacuum decarburization treatment is estimated to be 13 ppm by the conventional method, which is 37 ppm lower than the measured value of 50 ppm.
- the molten steel oxygen concentration at 570 seconds is estimated to be 358 ppm by the conventional method, which is 33 ppm lower than the measured value of 391 ppm.
- the carbon dioxide concentration of the exhaust gas at 90 seconds is estimated to be 58%, which is 40% higher than the measured value of 18%. The reason for obtaining these results is that the conventional method estimates the amount of decarburization larger than the actual value. As a result, it is erroneously determined that the molten steel carbon concentration has reached the target value of 13 ppm at 669 seconds, and the molten steel carbon concentration has not actually reached the target value, resulting in poor decarburization treatment.
- FIG. 6 is a diagram showing the results of applying the present invention to the vacuum decarburization treatment shown in FIGS. 4 (a) to 4 (c).
- FIG. 6 (a) is a time-series change of the estimated value (line) and the measured value (plot) of the molten steel carbon concentration
- FIG. 6 (b) is a time-series of the estimated value (line) and the measured value (plot) of the molten steel oxygen concentration.
- Changes FIG. 6 (c) shows time-series changes in the measured value (line L5) and measured values (line L6) of the carbon dioxide concentration of the exhaust gas
- FIG. 6 (d) shows the time-series changes in the decarburized capacity coefficient value.
- the decarburized capacity coefficient value that should be obtained from the difference between the online measured value and the estimated value by the model formula of the decarburization reaction with respect to the carbon dioxide gas concentration and the molten steel oxygen concentration of the exhaust gas is learned online, and the learned decarburization is performed.
- the coal capacity coefficient value is reflected in the model formula of the decarburization reaction. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6 (b), the molten steel oxygen concentration at 570 seconds coincides with the measured value, and as shown in FIG. 6 (c), the estimated value (line L5) of the carbon dioxide concentration of the exhaust gas is measured.
- the value of the decarburization capacity coefficient is modified as shown in FIG. 6 (d) so as to match the value (line L6).
- the molten steel carbon concentration can be estimated so as to finally match the measured value of the molten steel carbon concentration without directly modifying the molten steel carbon concentration.
- the value of the decarburization capacity coefficient included in the model formula of the decarburization reaction is set to deviate from the actual value, by applying the present invention, the value of the decarburization capacity coefficient becomes the actual value. It means that it can be learned online so that the values are close to each other and reflected in the model formula. That is, by applying the present invention, the molten steel carbon concentration can be estimated with higher accuracy than the conventional method, and as a result, the end point of the vacuum decarburization treatment can be determined at an appropriate timing without taking an redundant processing time.
- the secondary refining operation itself in the steelmaking factory becomes a highly accurate and stable operation, and as a result, the processing time is shortened. As a result, the variation in the composition of the molten steel in the steelmaking factory is reduced, and highly accurate and stable molten steel production becomes possible.
- a decarburization end point determination method and a decarburization end point determination device capable of accurately estimating the carbon concentration of molten steel and accurately determining the end point of the vacuum decarburization treatment. Further, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a steelmaking secondary refining operation method capable of performing a secondary refining operation with high accuracy and stability. Further, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a method for producing molten steel capable of stably producing molten steel with high accuracy.
