Abstract
A system and method for classifying a material in a heterogeneous mixture of materials, and predicting a processing method for treating the material are disclosed. At least some of the heterogeneous mixture of material pieces comprise different chemical information such as different chemical composition and/or physical characteristics. Embodiments of the system and method of the present invention use machine learning to classify and predict a processing protocol for material pieces based on the chemical compositions or reactivities of each of the material pieces.
