Based on the strong coupling and interval requirement of multiple quality indices, the interval-index-oriented optimization method is proposed to effectively realize the optimal control of alumina blending process. Firstly, the lexicographic interval goal programming model is built to describe the process requirements for quality indices. Then, based on the characteristics of the programming model, a kind of classificatory knowledge base is constructed by using the empirical knowledge accumulated in long-term production and the expert reasoning strategy is proposed to realize the optimal control of quality indexes with interval constraints. The results of industrial application shows that the proposed method can realize the optimal control of quality indices. It provides a good optimization mode for other blending processes of nonferrous metal production.
