EARTH

What this report found

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.

The Amenability of Some South African Bituminous Coals to Binderless Briquetting

2001

Laboratory compaction work with testing of compressive, abrasion and water resistance, giving steam and metallurgical coal producers a basis for judging which fines can be agglomerated.

SJ Mangena

What this report found

Nine bituminous coals from the Witbank, Waterberg and Soutpansberg coalfields all formed compacts without a binder, and the process worked better with coking coals. Reactive maceral content, free swelling index and Hardgrove grindability index governed briquette strength, with ash and kaolinite contents also contributing to bonding. Briquetting pressure, feed moisture and particle size distribution controlled the outcome.

Determination of the Impact of Coal Mine Water Irrigation on Groundwater Resources

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.
