Journal of Intelligent Manufacturing Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

This paper provides an overview of the manufacturing process of fused magnesia. A brief introduction to fused magnesia and its industrial production process are presented first. In order to meet the market requirements and reduce costs, fused magnesia industrial process begins to focus on these issues: high energy consumption, serious pollution, low utilization of raw materials. So the issues related to fused magnesia are reviewed. The literature work related to the fused magnesia manufacturing process is divided into four categories: modeling, optimization, control, and experimental constraints. As can be seen, with the continuous development of intelligent manufacturing technology, fused magnesia manufacturing process begins to emerge new opportunities. Research trends and opportunities are presented in the final section, with an emphasis on future potential intelligent technologies.
