Practical Application of KDD Techniques to an Industrial Process

چکیده
In the process of smelting copper mineral a large amount of sulphuric dioxide (SO2) is produced. This compound would be highly pollutant if it was emitted to the atmosphere. By means of an acid plant it is possible to transform it into sulphuric acid, using for this a set of chemical and physical processes. In this way we dispose of a marketable product and, at the same time, the environment is protected. However, there are certain situations in which the gases escape to the atmosphere, creating pollutant situations. This would be avoidable if we exactly knew under which circumstances this problem is produced. In this paper we present a practical application of KDD techniques to the chemical industry. By means of the obtained results we show the viability of using automatic classifiers to improve a productive process, with an increase of the production and a decrease of the environmental pollution.

Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD) is the process of automatic discovery of previously unknown patterns, rules, and other regular contents implicitly present in large volumes of data. Data Mining (DM) denotes discovery of patterns in a data set previously prepared in a specific way. DM is often used as a synonym for KDD. However, strictly speaking DM is just a central phase of the entire pr...
