Air Emissions, Air Quality and Energy Efficiency Monitoring for Prioritisation of Pollution Preventions and Public Health in the Region of Mpumalanga Highveld Conurbation

Viability assessment and outline plan for regional air quality monitoring on the Highveld, including institutional arrangements and information gaps, for industry, regulators and community bodies.

by Prof HJ Annegarn, MA Kneen, M Josipovic & MFF Ferraz | October 2004

What this report found

A regional monitoring programme was found to be viable and is proposed as a public private partnership covering air emissions, air quality and energy efficiency on the Mpumalanga Highveld. The assessment concluded that the worst health impacts fall on residential areas, driven by inefficient coal burning for heating and by housing sited close to large industry.

Guideline for Mine Closure Relinquishment Criteria

2023

Review of closure and relinquishment law in Australia, Canada and South Africa, with four mechanisms for reaching agreement compared. For closure planners and regulators.

What this report foundRelinquishment criteria follow from the agreed post-mining land use. The land use is the goal and the criteria measure whether it has been reached.

What this report found

Relinquishment criteria follow from the agreed post-mining land use. The land use is the goal and the criteria measure whether it has been reached. The guideline sets out a framework for approving those criteria at each mining phase, from the initial environmental management plan through to decommissioning, and compares South African practice with Australian, Canadian and international guidance.

Cost Evaluation of Different Medium Solids for Air Dense Medium Fluidized Bed Coal Separation

Kundayi Marshall Chagwedera

2017

University laboratory work on air fluidised bed separation, testing pyrrhotite, blast furnace slag, silica sand and coal discards against magnetite, for engineers considering waterless coal washing.

What this report foundMagnetite and pyrrhotite each gave the most uniform and stable fluidised bed densities, with bed density variation under 0.7 per cent.

What this report found

Magnetite and pyrrhotite each gave the most uniform and stable fluidised bed densities, with bed density variation under 0.7 per cent. A pyrrhotite and magnetite blend at a weight ratio of 40:60 beat magnetite alone, producing a product of 14.50% ash and 27.30 MJ/kg from a feed of 39.27% ash and 18.76 MJ/kg.
