Economic Coal Resources of the Highveld, Ermelo, South Rand and Sasolburg-vereeniging Coalfields
Comparative ranking of coalfields inside and outside South Africa on exploration level, resource size and infrastructure, for companies deciding where to explore next.
by Grant van Heerden | August 2004
A rating and ranking system was applied to South African coalfields and, separately, to the coal bearing countries elsewhere in the Southern African Development Community. The Waterberg ranked highest in South Africa and is the coalfield most worth detailed investigation as Witbank output declines. Botswana ranked highest among the other member states on contained resources and exploitation potential.

Practical guidance for opencast operations covers early detection with low cost thermal cameras, prevention, and the treatment methods in current use: water sprays and cannons, sand cladding of highwalls and stockpiles, removal of burning coal by dragline, tipping into water ponds and the treatment of sinkhole areas. A three month full scale trial of sprayed fly ash as an antioxidant is reported.

R1500,00
Prices for calcium and magnesium sulphate are recorded for South Africa and for world markets as at mid 2012, together with price trends and the groundwater chemistry that governs which salts a mine water stream will yield. The figures were assembled to support feasibility studies on a eutectic freeze crystallisation plant and an ion exchange plant.
