Abstract:

The paper presents the description of the copper flash smelting process and the idea of its modelling based on Artificial Intelligence techniques: Artificial Neural Networks, Expert Systems and Data Mining. Proposed approach is illustrated by examples of obtained results. They show that models based on Artificial Intelligence tools can be useful in process analysis and in control systems.
