This paper presents a new method to calculate accurately the composition of the mineralogical phase in iron ore sinter, especially the minor phases. This model is based on the combined model of gray-level distribution for a multi-phase system. The composition of the mineralogical phase is calculated by minimizing the difference between the theoretical gray-level histogram and the actual gray-level histogram of a micrograph of the iron ore sinter. A genetic algorithm and an improved genetic algorithm are introduced to solve this extreme value problem. Suitable parameters for the algorithm were determined by comparing the solutions for each of several cases. The example provided demonstrates that this model is valid, especially for the minor phases, and the solution is credible.
