Abstract: By use of the integrated knowledge of mineral engineering, mineral processing, expert system, artificial neural networks(ANN), genetic algorithm, fuzzy mathematics and multimedia technology etc., MPES(mineral processing expert system) skeletal tool has been built, which is a construction tool for expert systems in the field of mineral processing. This system is programmed by C++language on microsoft windows platform, including multiple knowledge and reasoning methods, and can be used to build new expert systems for ore beneficiability prediction, mill design, faults diagnosis, production control and management decision.
Key words: mineral processing; expert systems; skeletal tool; mill design
