DyVar Pilot Test Report

Tecroveer

Batch pilot trial of a salt concentration unit on saline coal mine effluent at the eMalahleni reclamation plant, for mines weighing brine treatment and salt recovery.

What this report found

A pilot brine concentrator treated Stage 3 reject effluent from a mine water reclamation plant, raising total dissolved solids from 24 g/L to 154 g/L at 88 per cent water recovery. The condensate met the national potable water specification. A separate run concentrated brine from 76 g/L to 145 g/L, solid salts were precipitated, and no scaling or fouling was seen.

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.

Laboratory compaction work with testing of compressive, abrasion and water resistance, giving steam and metallurgical coal producers a basis for judging which fines can be agglomerated.

What this report found

Nine bituminous coals from the Witbank, Waterberg and Soutpansberg coalfields all formed compacts without a binder, and the process worked better with coking coals. Reactive maceral content, free swelling index and Hardgrove grindability index governed briquette strength, with ash and kaolinite contents also contributing to bonding. Briquetting pressure, feed moisture and particle size distribution controlled the outcome.
