Description

This project describes an extensive programme of ‘shadowing’ and monitoring of continuous miner and personal dust samples in production sections of an underground colliery over a three month period. One third of all respirable dust samples, both continuous miner and personal samples, have been shown to be unreliable. The main causes of unreliable samples were in the preparation, issuing, receiving, and wearing of dust pumps.

What this report found

Run of mine and discard coal carried total rare earth contents of 260 and 265 ppm, above the 130 ppm cut off grade used for coal. Flotation with an emulsion binder did not raise those concentrations in either the product or the tailings streams. Calcination did, lifting totals to between 285 and 289 ppm, with most rare earths leaching within the first fifteen minutes.
