Dry Processing of Coal – Progress Report: Tests Conducted on the IMS / Slater Coal Marketing Allair Dry Jig

GJ de Korte

2016

Test work on a dry jig installed at a Balmoral site, covering coal sized below 50 mm and duff below 12 mm, for producers considering waterless beneficiation.

What this report foundA 30 tonne per hour pilot Allair dry jig upgraded run of mine coal to thermal coal specification, but could not effectively beneficiate finer duff.

What this report found

A 30 tonne per hour pilot Allair dry jig upgraded run of mine coal to thermal coal specification, but could not effectively beneficiate finer duff. Cut point densities and EPM values matched other dry processing equipment, though the jig appeared to give better control of the parameters governing separation. Four tests ran on run of mine coal and two on duff.

Treatment of Sulphate Rich Effluents with the Combined Electrolytic/Biological Process

2003

Laboratory work on producing hydrogen by electrolysis as the energy source for sulphate reducing bacteria, aimed at cutting the running cost of treating sulphate rich mine water.

What this report foundHydrogen for biological sulphate removal can be generated on site by electrolysis more cheaply than it can be bought.

What this report found

Hydrogen for biological sulphate removal can be generated on site by electrolysis more cheaply than it can be bought. Stainless steel electrodes in acid mine drainage gave hydrogen at about a third of the bought in price while oxidising ferrous iron to ferric, which helps downstream treatment. Iron and zinc electrodes dissolved too quickly to be viable.

Spontaneous Combustion of Coal and Coal-shales

Laboratory testing of samples from South African collieries using two Wits self-heating indices alongside proximate and ultimate analysis, for ventilation and safety engineers assessing burning shale risk.

What this report found

Testing of 28 coal and coal-shale samples showed the coals to be more liable to spontaneous combustion than the shales, though reactive coal-shales still self-heat and pyrite in them speeds the process. Higher carbon, moisture, hydrogen, volatile matter and nitrogen with lower ash all raised proneness to self-heating, so proximate and ultimate analysis can serve as a screening tool.
