Upgrading of Coal With The Aid of a Knelson Concentrator
R1500,00
Description
A lot of coal fines are generated during the crushing, screening and washing processes. Currently, it is difficult to successfully recover these coal fines. Conventional gravity processes generally have poor efficiencies in treating coal less than 1mm. The centrifugal separators have been proved to be the better route for processing these coal fines (Uslu, Sahinoglu and Yavuz, 2012). The study herein focused on the upgrading of coal with the aid of a Knelson concentrator (KC) specifically the deashing of coal fines (-1 mm size fraction). The experiments were conducted at the University of Pretoria with a laboratory KC-MD3 batch type Knelson concentrator.

Treatment of Sulphate Rich Effluents with the Combined Electrolytic/Biological Process
2003
Laboratory work on producing hydrogen by electrolysis as the energy source for sulphate reducing bacteria, aimed at cutting the running cost of treating sulphate rich mine water.
What this report foundHydrogen for biological sulphate removal can be generated on site by electrolysis more cheaply than it can be bought.
R1500,00
Hydrogen for biological sulphate removal can be generated on site by electrolysis more cheaply than it can be bought. Stainless steel electrodes in acid mine drainage gave hydrogen at about a third of the bought in price while oxidising ferrous iron to ferric, which helps downstream treatment. Iron and zinc electrodes dissolved too quickly to be viable.
Soil Rehabilitation: Can Dung Beetles Improve Post-mining Land-use Options?
2018
Final report of a three year study on rehabilitated South African coal mine soils, testing an invertebrate based addition to conventional rehabilitation, for environmental managers and land use planners.
What this report foundAnts, termites, dung beetles and earthworms are known to improve soil health, but none had been deliberately applied as part of a mine reclamation strategy.
R1500,00
Ants, termites, dung beetles and earthworms are known to improve soil health, but none had been deliberately applied as part of a mine reclamation strategy. Experimental and field scale studies asked whether dung beetles maintain their burial activity, and the soil services that follow, in soils typical of rehabilitated mine land, and set out recommendations for using them alongside existing methods.
