Determine Possible Means to Conduct Large Scale Frictional Ignitions Tests, and the Value of These to Coaltech

T F Ngobeni

A scoping exercise based on technical enquiries to mine safety organisations and discussions at an international conference, aimed at rock engineers and safety practitioners weighing test facility investment.

What this report found

No operating full scale frictional ignition test facility was found anywhere in the world, and building one was judged expensive, impractical and unlikely to justify its cost against laboratory scale testing. Effort should instead go to small scale laboratory equipment using South African rocks, and to expanding geological data such as silica distribution and petrographic analysis.

What this report found

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.
