What this report found

About 3.19 billion tons of coal now sits underground in pillars, growing by roughly 110 million tons a year under current bord and pillar practice. Pillars with a safety factor of about 1.8 or higher can be extracted successfully, and 1.5 is permissible in thin seams where the pillar width to height ratio exceeds 10.

What this report found

Ion exchange converted reverse osmosis brine from a power station treating colliery water and cooling tower blowdown into fertiliser and explosives salts, with no liquid effluent left to dispose of. Part of the water rejected by the reverse osmosis stage was also recovered as potable water. Brine is currently used for dust suppression and stored underground.
