Abstract
This work aims at presenting a solution to minimize the cost of fuels by optimizing the dosing of raw-materials and fuels, considering environmental restrictions. As case study, a lime production of a company located in the CenterWest region of Minas Gerais was analyzed. The results were compared using three optimization algorithms, that is: Sequential Quadratic Programming (SQP), Teaching-Learning-Based Optimization (TLBO)and Firefly Algorithm (FA). The results obtained with SQP algorithm were the best ones for the optimization problem, with restrictions. The total cost obtained by this algorithm was R$ 56.80 \ton. At this price, for each 1.6182 tons of limestone, 0.0532 tons of green coke and 0.0820 tons of coffee hull might feed the kiln
