FGX Dry Processing Tests Conducted at Exxaro R&D
200931 pages
Pilot tests of a waterless de-stoning unit on raw coals from four South African collieries at a Pretoria research site, for plant metallurgists weighing dry beneficiation.
A compound dry cleaning machine de-stoned low grade raw coal without using water, but separation efficiency was low, with high relative density cut points and EPM values in the order of 0.3. Misplaced material was heavy and coal below 6 mm reported to product almost indiscriminately. The unit is cheap to buy and run, needs only crushing to 50 mm, and gives high throughput.

How it opens
With the kind co-operation of Exxaro, a series of tests was conducted on a FGX compound dry cleaning machine at the Exxaro R&D site in Pretoria West. The purpose of the tests was to evaluate the potential of the FGX towards dry de-stoning of low-grade raw coals.

A regional monitoring programme was found to be viable and is proposed as a public private partnership covering air emissions, air quality and energy efficiency on the Mpumalanga Highveld. The assessment concluded that the worst health impacts fall on residential areas, driven by inefficient coal burning for heating and by housing sited close to large industry.

No single method gives a continuous, real time report on how a coal preparation plant is performing. Mass meters converted to yield values, on-line ash and moisture monitors, load cell chutes and automatic medium density control together supply most of what is needed. Measuring discard and slimes tonnages, particularly slimes disposal, remains the weakest point in plant accounting.
