Coal Mine Acid Mine Drainage Treatment and Sludge Processing

What this report found

A modified alkaline barium calcium process was tested on coal mine acid drainage, using calcium hydroxide neutralisation, hydrogen sulphide metal removal and barium carbonate sulphate removal. Gypsum formation during water treatment fell by 80 per cent, cutting the sludge sent to costly downstream processing to a fifth. Temperature, reaction time, reagent ratios and feed particle size affected thermal treatment of the sludge.

Development of Design Procedures for Long Slender Pillars

2005

Design guidance for rib pillars, built from back analysed in situ coal tests and two dimensional modelling rather than empirical data, for rock engineers laying out high extraction panels.

What this report foundNumerical modelling produced upper and lower bound strength formulae for rib pillars, the lower bound covering weak roof and floor contacts.

What this report found

Numerical modelling produced upper and lower bound strength formulae for rib pillars, the lower bound covering weak roof and floor contacts. The formulae apply between width to height ratios of 0.5 and 2.5, with linear interpolation below that, and give conservative designs above 3. Adjustments were suggested where regular joint sets occur.
