The flotation process of complex sulfide ore of Pb and Zn, even after 100 years of experience, in terms of process control, is a challenge. The Empiric control of the process, based on the intuition of the operator, is considered "base manner" of control. To improve relevant technological indicators, good experiences are accumulated from the past, as well as theoretical developments are reviewed, which are combined with achievements in the development of computer hardware and software. Algorithms have been developed to conduct the process state and to realize necessary reactions in case of disturbances. Based on these, inside computer HD has created one processing Database, in a form of Situations and Actions. Created situations are an example of neural network constructs, whereas the actions are implemented in accordance with fuzzy logic rules. The process always learns from creating situations and actions, thus moving towards intelligent computer systems. Expanding the database, based on its learning system from the past, strengthens the role of the computer in effective control of the mineral processing plant.
