Project 2.9.6 Preventing Cutting Head Methane Emissions On Continuous Miners
Simulation work on face ventilation in mechanised coal sections, with methane sources modelled from the cut face, gathering arms, conveyors and shuttle cars. For ventilation engineers and equipment manufacturers.
By D Marais & AP Cook | April 2020
Computational fluid dynamics, checked against underground measurements, mapped ventilation flow and methane concentration around continuous miner headings for straights and splits, single and double scrubbers, side and straight scrubber discharges, jet fans, brattices and force columns. It showed the earlier physical test work cannot predict contaminant flow for larger machines or altered scrubber layouts.

BCI Chemical Research & Analysis – ion Exchange
2012
Global, regional and South African market analysis of ion exchange resins as applied to mine waste brine, including a United States pilot plant, for technology and investment decisions.
What this report foundIon exchange was assessed as a treatment route for brine arising from mine water cleaning, from a market rather than a plant performance standpoint.

Ion exchange was assessed as a treatment route for brine arising from mine water cleaning, from a market rather than a plant performance standpoint. World demand for ion exchange resins was expected to pass 535 million dollars by 2015, driven by urbanisation, pollution and shortages of clean water in developing regions.
Rehabilitation of Mined Land Irrigation of Pastures with Gypsiferous Mine water
2011
Pasture and animal production work on rehabilitated mine land under mine water irrigation, joining agronomy and animal science, for rehabilitation and closure planners.
What this report foundGrazing trials on tall fescue pasture irrigated with gypsiferous mine water on rehabilitated mined land, run over several seasons.
R1500,00
Grazing trials on tall fescue pasture irrigated with gypsiferous mine water on rehabilitated mined land, run over several seasons. The work covers steer stocking rates, dry matter intake by cattle, and the factors that control pasture quality and intake, among them nitrogen fertilisation, stage of growth, sward structure and grazing intensity. Findings are reported study by study.

Market prices are set out for sodium sulphate, sodium chloride, sodium nitrate, potassium nitrate and potassium chloride, in South Africa and abroad, as at early 2011, with Chinese supplier quotes alongside United States averages. The work was done to test whether salts recovered from mine water brine could be sold at a worthwhile price.
