What this report found

Compared against concrete and gabions on cost, construction time, footprint, durability and safety, the Dongalock product proved cheaper and quicker to install in small and medium incised valley bottom wetlands, and needs no heavy plant, so local enterprises can build it. Concrete still suits large wetlands carrying high water velocities.

Cost Evaluation of Different Medium Solids for Air Dense Medium Fluidized Bed Coal Separation

Kundayi Marshall Chagwedera

2017

University laboratory work on air fluidised bed separation, testing pyrrhotite, blast furnace slag, silica sand and coal discards against magnetite, for engineers considering waterless coal washing.

What this report foundMagnetite and pyrrhotite each gave the most uniform and stable fluidised bed densities, with bed density variation under 0.7 per cent.

What this report found

Magnetite and pyrrhotite each gave the most uniform and stable fluidised bed densities, with bed density variation under 0.7 per cent. A pyrrhotite and magnetite blend at a weight ratio of 40:60 beat magnetite alone, producing a product of 14.50% ash and 27.30 MJ/kg from a feed of 39.27% ash and 18.76 MJ/kg.

What this report found

Monitoring and geochemical modelling at five pilot sites, on undisturbed soils and on opencast spoils, showed that most soils held a large share of the applied salt in the upper unsaturated zone and that salinity built up slowly. Leachate volumes, leachate quality and aquifer mixing ratios were quantified. Irrigation is recommended on alternating pivots and for no longer than ten years in one area.
