Development of a Horizontal Winnower for the Beneficiation of Fine Coal
Proof of concept work on dry beneficiation of minus 6 mm coal, combining airflow modelling and simulation with a laboratory winnowing box, for plants short of process water.
Horizontal air winnowing separated fine coal by particle size and density in laboratory experiments, supported by equation of motion modelling and computational fluid dynamics. Modelling indicated that a chamber 0.6 m high and 1 m long is sufficient to displace any minus 6 mm particle at air velocities of 10 to 30 m/s.

Ion exchange applied to brine from a three stage reverse osmosis plant at eMalahleni converted the brine entirely into saleable fertiliser and explosives feedstock, and recovered close to half of the water the reverse osmosis stage leaves behind. On this basis the existing brine pond and the two planned for the plant expansion would not be needed.

Sub-seams within the No 2 Seam were characterised at a single test site using lithology, seam thickness, proximate analysis, petrography and geophysical logs, and a paleoenvironmental model was built from them. Wireline logs separated coal from interburden but could not resolve the individual zones, because the physical differences are too subtle. Better sedimentological models gave better reserve and resource estimates.
