<p>Researchers working with Yunnan Tin Group have developed an AI model that estimates tin content in slag using live furnace data, potentially giving operators much faster insight into metal losses than conventional laboratory testing. Slag tin content is an important indicator of smelting performance. If too much tin remains in the slag, valuable metal is [&#8230;]</p> <p>The post <a href="https://www.internationaltin.org/ai-model-targets-faster-monitoring-of-tin-losses-in-smelting/">AI model targets faster monitoring of tin losses in smelting</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.internationaltin.org">International Tin Association</a>.</p>
