Dry Screening Tests Conducted With a Bivi-tec Screen
200820 pages
Screening trials at two South African collieries, one on a small test unit and one on a full scale installation, for plant staff handling fine, damp coal.
Fine coal was screened at small apertures while surface moisture stayed below about 5 per cent. Above that, fines adhered to the coarser particles and screening became very difficult. The dual vibrating polyurethane mats stopped blinding and clogging, so screening area stayed available, but the screen action still could not dislodge fines from very damp coal.

How it opens
Dry screening of fine coal at small screen apertures is known to be difficult. Blinding and clogging of the screen surface occurs and the screening efficiency can be very low. The Bivi-tec screen has been named as a possible solution for dry screening of fine coal since the dual-vibratory polyurethane mats eliminate blinding.

Conventional rehabilitation relies on lime, fertiliser and compost to build fertility and select adaptive species, which produces short term cover but rarely a self sustaining ecosystem. The work argues for treating soil microbes as part of the system, since bacteria drive nutrient cycling, organic matter breakdown and soil aggregation, and proposes conditioning plants with adapted rhizosphere bacteria on coal waste substrates.

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.
