TRI-FLO™ Tests Conducted at South Witbank Coal Mine
2003
Trial of an imported dense medium separator installed in a fine coal pilot plant at a Witbank mine, for plant designers weighing alternatives to cyclones.

The separator handled fine coal and produced a 28 MJ/kg product, but its measured separation efficiency was lower than that of conventional dense medium cyclones and it was harder to operate. Two efficiency tests produced no evidence that the unit outperforms cyclones on fine coal, so cyclones were recommended when the plant was rebuilt at its next site.
Treatment of Sulphate Rich Effluents with the Combined Electrolytic/Biological Process
2003
Laboratory work on producing hydrogen by electrolysis as the energy source for sulphate reducing bacteria, aimed at cutting the running cost of treating sulphate rich mine water.
What this report foundHydrogen for biological sulphate removal can be generated on site by electrolysis more cheaply than it can be bought.
R1500,00
Hydrogen for biological sulphate removal can be generated on site by electrolysis more cheaply than it can be bought. Stainless steel electrodes in acid mine drainage gave hydrogen at about a third of the bought in price while oxidising ferrous iron to ferric, which helps downstream treatment. Iron and zinc electrodes dissolved too quickly to be viable.
