Coal Washability Using Coal Petrography
Summary of postgraduate work validating washability prediction for southern African coals by image analysis and tomography, written for geologists, metallurgists and mining engineers valuing a deposit.
by N Wagner, H Dorland & X Makukule | June 2019
A single float sink test destroys the sample and gives one deterministic answer, so it cannot show how washability changes with particle size distribution. Simulating washability from petrographic images and tomography allows many size distributions to be tested statistically from one sample. Running simulation alongside float sink work during exploration lets the prediction error of each be compared.

Dust masks worn by load haul dump operators passed 200 mg of filter loading in an average of 1.7 hours, and continuous miner, shuttle car and roofbolt operators reached the same point within two to five hours. Every mask failed laboratory fit testing. An eight hour service life is too long.
