BCI Chemical Research & Analysis – ion Exchange

Jacques Magliolo

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 found

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.

What this report found

No single global standard governs refuge bay design, and the collieries surveyed differ widely in construction, location, equipment and operating practice, which made ranking them impractical. Areas needing attention were identified in design, construction and maintenance of the facilities that keep people alive until rescue, drawn against local law and overseas practice.

What this report found

Employee share ownership participation schemes are presented as a route to spreading mining wealth more widely after apartheid. They differ from profit sharing and pension arrangements in holding only the employer's own equity and in enlarging the company's capacity to borrow. Acceptance of such schemes in the South African mining industry was tested through an attitude survey of workers.
