Development of a Horizontal Winnower for the Beneficiation of Fine Coal
Proof of concept work on dry beneficiation of minus 6 mm coal, combining airflow modelling and simulation with a laboratory winnowing box, for plants short of process water.
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.

A compound dry cleaning machine de-stoned low grade raw coal without using water, but separation efficiency was low, with high relative density cut points and EPM values in the order of 0.3. Misplaced material was heavy and coal below 6 mm reported to product almost indiscriminately. The unit is cheap to buy and run, needs only crushing to 50 mm, and gives high throughput.

Development of Junior Management and Supervisory Personnel for the Mining Section of the Future
2004
Interviews, questionnaires and on site observation at three South African collieries, with recommended training content and selection criteria for supervisors and junior managers in mining sections.
What this report foundMines already provide substantial training and their junior managers were found motivated and committed, yet development at this level remains problematic.

Mines already provide substantial training and their junior managers were found motivated and committed, yet development at this level remains problematic. Gaps sat in commercial exposure, financial and accounting skills, industrial relations, quality standards, administration and project management. The report sets out the attributes to screen for at appointment and a framework that makes candidates responsible for their own development.
