A discussion of the control of nonferrous metallurgical processes

Abstract Nonferrous metallurgical processes are featured by their complex nature. Control of nonferrous metallurgical processes is non-trivial and related to multiple disciplines. An example is presented to illustrate the basic procedure of nonferrous metallurgical process control. A feasible way to construct a unified control approach and the potential developments of nonferrous metallurgical process control are discussed.
