Cleaning Near Moving Conveyors

J Maaren

First phase of a two part investigation into conveyor cleaning practice at South African coal mines, covering the legal position, current mine practice and available machinery.

What this report found

Conveyance legislation promulgated in 2008 and enforced soon after left the coal industry without a lawful way to clean near and under running conveyors. The first phase defined the problem, recorded the cleaning practices mines already use successfully, and built a structured database of mechanised platform options worth pursuing. High risk areas remain drives, take ups, snub and tail pulleys and transfer points.

What this report found

A high internal phase water in oil emulsion binder upgraded weathered ultra fine coal discard. At 5 kg/ton on a feed of 29.34 per cent ash and 20.94 MJ/kg, flotation gave a clean coal of 11.76 per cent ash and 28.61 MJ/kg at 15.61 per cent mass yield. Calorific value rose with agitation speed and fell with binder dosage.

What this report found

A three dimensional model of the northern Witbank and Highveld coalfield was built from more than 1100 borehole logs, with strata sorted into 13 major groupings and surface topography taken from satellite elevation data. It runs on open source visualisation software rather than a commercial package. Delays limited coverage to about a quarter of the coalfield.
