Upgrading of Coal With The Aid of a Knelson Concentrator
R1500,00
Description
A lot of coal fines are generated during the crushing, screening and washing processes. Currently, it is difficult to successfully recover these coal fines. Conventional gravity processes generally have poor efficiencies in treating coal less than 1mm. The centrifugal separators have been proved to be the better route for processing these coal fines (Uslu, Sahinoglu and Yavuz, 2012). The study herein focused on the upgrading of coal with the aid of a Knelson concentrator (KC) specifically the deashing of coal fines (-1 mm size fraction). The experiments were conducted at the University of Pretoria with a laboratory KC-MD3 batch type Knelson concentrator.

Failures continued after the safety factor approach was adopted, in pillars created both before and after it, so the record of failed workings has kept growing since the original 27 cases. The database was updated and re-analysed to revise the strength formula and to set out the probability of failure associated with pillar designs.
Soil Rehabilitation: Can Dung Beetles Improve Post-mining Land-use Options?
2018
Final report of a three year study on rehabilitated South African coal mine soils, testing an invertebrate based addition to conventional rehabilitation, for environmental managers and land use planners.
What this report foundAnts, termites, dung beetles and earthworms are known to improve soil health, but none had been deliberately applied as part of a mine reclamation strategy.

Ants, termites, dung beetles and earthworms are known to improve soil health, but none had been deliberately applied as part of a mine reclamation strategy. Experimental and field scale studies asked whether dung beetles maintain their burial activity, and the soil services that follow, in soils typical of rehabilitated mine land, and set out recommendations for using them alongside existing methods.
