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.

Compares labour intensive mechanised drill and blast underground mining with capital intensive bord and pillar using continuous miners, and adds the option of substituting locally made goods for imported supplies. Input data came from two mines running both types of section under comparable geological conditions, covering worker numbers, skill profiles, cost structures and import dependence, then calibrated to industry totals to drive a socio-economic model.

Level of acid mine drainage disturbance explained more of the variation in diatom communities than any other factor, with pan type second and season not significant. Sulphate and calcium concentrations and sulphate to chloride ratios were higher in disturbed pans of every type. Pan type specific indices were tested against established riverine indices.
