What this report found

Horizontal air winnowing separated fine coal by particle size and density in laboratory experiments, supported by equation of motion modelling and computational fluid dynamics. Modelling indicated that a chamber 0.6 m high and 1 m long is sufficient to displace any minus 6 mm particle at air velocities of 10 to 30 m/s.

What this report found

Ecological integrity of a Mpumalanga wetland affected by coal mining was assessed before and after rehabilitation, using water quality, bacterial consortium, freshwater algae and vegetation indicators. The work sits within a wider programme to give the coal sector and regulators practical ways of limiting and mitigating mining impacts on wetlands.

What this report found

Ion exchange converted reverse osmosis brine from a power station treating colliery water and cooling tower blowdown into fertiliser and explosives salts, with no liquid effluent left to dispose of. Part of the water rejected by the reverse osmosis stage was also recovered as potable water. Brine is currently used for dust suppression and stored underground.
