Dry Processing of Coal – Progress Report: Tests Conducted on the IMS / Slater Coal Marketing Allair Dry Jig

GJ de Korte

201613 pages

Test work on a dry jig installed at a Balmoral site, covering coal sized below 50 mm and duff below 12 mm, for producers considering waterless beneficiation.

What this report found

A 30 tonne per hour pilot Allair dry jig upgraded run of mine coal to thermal coal specification, but could not effectively beneficiate finer duff. Cut point densities and EPM values matched other dry processing equipment, though the jig appeared to give better control of the parameters governing separation. Four tests ran on run of mine coal and two on duff.

How it opens

IMS in cooperation with Slater Coal Marketing installed a 30 tonne per hour Allair dry jig at Slater Coal’s site near Balmoral for the purpose of evaluating the technology and to assess the potential of these jigs to upgrade raw coal to thermal coal specification.

What this report found

Compared against concrete and gabions on cost, construction time, footprint, durability and safety, the Dongalock product proved cheaper and quicker to install in small and medium incised valley bottom wetlands, and needs no heavy plant, so local enterprises can build it. Concrete still suits large wetlands carrying high water velocities.

What this report found

Tonnage estimates for the remaining low phosphorus resource could not be produced, because the phosphorus analyses supplied by mining companies did not state what had been measured. Distribution trends were still mapped. Coal at or below 0.010 per cent phosphorus is widespread in the Witbank Coalfield, restricted to the far northwestern Highveld, and follows a northwest to southeast band in eastern Ermelo.
