Participative Management Employee Participation in the Wealth of Mining Companies, an Employee Share Ownership Participation Scheme Focus
Postgraduate dissertation on share ownership in South African mining, drawing on British and American precedent and a worker attitude survey. For human resources and empowerment planners.
by André William Dougall | 2004
Employee share ownership participation schemes are presented as a route to spreading mining wealth more widely after apartheid. They differ from profit sharing and pension arrangements in holding only the employer's own equity and in enlarging the company's capacity to borrow. Acceptance of such schemes in the South African mining industry was tested through an attitude survey of workers.

Upgrading of coal fines with a Centrifugal Concentrator
Bench and pilot testing of four centrifugal concentrator models on fine coal from two collieries, with operating variables that resisted correlation flagged for further work. For plant metallurgists.
What this report foundFour centrifugal concentrators all cut ash in fine coal, with desliming the decisive step.

Four centrifugal concentrators all cut ash in fine coal, with desliming the decisive step. The best unit took ash from 35.2% to 18.47% and sulphur from 0.68% to 0.36% in a single stage, raising calorific value from 23.78 to 26.16 MJ/kg. Pilot work reached 19% ash on thickener underflow and reconstituted spiral feed.
The Amenability of Some South African Bituminous Coals to Binderless Briquetting
2001
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.

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.
