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.

Sets out the steps to establish a small scale coal mine in South Africa, from mineral rights and regulatory approvals through finance, mining and processing choices, marketing, and environmental management and closure. The information a new entrant needs sits in many separate places, so the guideline draws it together from practitioners rather than from any single published source.
