Application of PROMETHEE mathematical model for choosing a secondary breakage process of the oversized blocks in limestone quarries

In this paper, the approach consists in selecting the best secondary breakage process of oversize blocks with explosives for the limestone quarries. To solve this problem, we propose the centroid weight method for weighting the selection criteria, and the PROMETHEE model as a multicriteria decision making method. A case study is carried out in the limestone quarry of the cement factory of HadjarSoud, Algeria.
