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

Sets out the authorisation route for leaving a pitlake as a closure landform, covering water use licensing, environmental authorisation and the wider legislative process. There is no single application that grants approval, and the route is long and partly duplicated, so several applications are required.
A diatom based index for pans impacted by acid mine drainage
2021
Wet and dry season sampling of epiphytic diatoms from reed, salt and grass pans on the Mpumalanga Highveld, validating a biomonitoring index for mine affected depressional wetlands.

Level of acid mine drainage disturbance explained more of the variation in diatom communities than any other factor, with pan type second and season not significant. Sulphate and calcium concentrations and sulphate to chloride ratios were higher in disturbed pans of every type. Pan type specific indices were tested against established riverine indices.
Recovery of Rare Earth Elements by J Nkuna.pdf
Flotation, calcination and leaching tests on run of mine and discard coal, with mineralogy of the rare earth bearing grains. For processing researchers and waste stream owners.
What this report foundRun of mine and discard coal carried total rare earth contents of 260 and 265 ppm, above the 130 ppm cut off grade used for coal.
R1500,00
Run of mine and discard coal carried total rare earth contents of 260 and 265 ppm, above the 130 ppm cut off grade used for coal. Flotation with an emulsion binder did not raise those concentrations in either the product or the tailings streams. Calcination did, lifting totals to between 285 and 289 ppm, with most rare earths leaching within the first fifteen minutes.
