Collation of Historic Thermal Imagery

Pilot exercise pulling scattered thermal survey datasets held by companies and research bodies into one mapping system, with a view to tracking coal fires and mine water discharge.

by C.J.S Fourie & S.J. du Plessis | February 2008

What this report found

Existing thermal imagery of the Witbank coalfield was traced to its holders and assessed for format, quality, resolution and coverage, then brought into one geographic information system with supporting metadata. Satellite thermal bands give a regional picture only; detailed mapping of coal fires or acid drainage discharge needs high resolution aerial surveys.

What this report found

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.

What this report found

The fine coal dense medium pilot plant was rebuilt at South Witbank Coal Mine and run on fine coal, with tests covering single, double and three stage processing, the effect of recirculating load, magnetite size and losses, separation efficiency and continuous operation. The fast screen could not deliver the required capacity and was replaced by dewatering cyclones to deslime the feed.
