The Estimation of Greenhouse Gas Emissions from South African Surface and Abandoned Coal Mines
Direct sampling across burning, burnt out and rehabilitated dumps at surface mines covering just over half of national surface production, scaled to a national emissions estimate.
by A.P. Cook and P.J.D. Lloyd | December 2012
Gas sampling on coal mine dumps found rehabilitation very effective at cutting emissions. Even incomplete rehabilitation held carbon dioxide below about 1 kg per square metre a year, against over 100 on unrehabilitated ground and as much as 7 000 where combustion was active, though burning areas were small. Sulphur oxides, nitrogen oxides, ammonia and methane were low.

Dust masks worn by load haul dump operators passed 200 mg of filter loading in an average of 1.7 hours, and continuous miner, shuttle car and roofbolt operators reached the same point within two to five hours. Every mask failed laboratory fit testing. An eight hour service life is too long.

Prices for calcium and magnesium sulphate are recorded for South Africa and for world markets as at mid 2012, together with price trends and the groundwater chemistry that governs which salts a mine water stream will yield. The figures were assembled to support feasibility studies on a eutectic freeze crystallisation plant and an ion exchange plant.
