Abstract Blast furnace (BF) permeability is vital to smooth operation, but related studies are limited, especially for BFs toward low-carbon operations. In the BF production practice, the permeability index (PI) is often obtained by a posterior estimate, resulting in a challenge to make reasonable adjustments for the BF′s stable production and response to abnormal events in time. In addition, it is not possible to effectively obtain the permeability under the design stage of low-carbon BFs. Thus, a priori PI prediction model is established to circumvent these problems. Specifically, combining big data from the practical process, all variables affecting BF PI were analyzed based on both approaches of Pearson correlation and heat map of GRA (Grey Relation Analysis) coefficients, and 44 variables were identified as the primary parameters for predicting PI. Then, big data consisting of these parameters were cleaned to avoid the problems raised due to the existence of incomplete, abnormal, order-of-magnitude difference values, and further were normalized. Thus, the resultant data set for predicting the PI was found. Furthermore, a neural network model for PI prediction of BFs (PI-Net), which consists of an input layer, a 3-layer hidden layer and an output layer, was established and trained based on those big data. The results show that the mean square error of PI-Net is 9.6×10-5, the root mean square error is 9.78×10-3, the mean absolute error is 7.6×10-3, and the linear regression coefficient of determination is 0.979 2, indicating that the established model has reasonable accuracy, robustness and generalization ability. Finally, PI-Net was applied to evaluate the PI of several typical BF designed toward low carbon operations and explore the feasibility of these proposals due to being restricted by PI.
