Application of EARTH Ion Exchange Technology to Process RO (Hipro) Brine from eWRP
Pilot trial on brine from a working water reclamation plant on the Mpumalanga coalfield, the first of four studies testing ion exchange on coal mine liquors.
Ion exchange applied to brine from a three stage reverse osmosis plant at eMalahleni converted the brine entirely into saleable fertiliser and explosives feedstock, and recovered close to half of the water the reverse osmosis stage leaves behind. On this basis the existing brine pond and the two planned for the plant expansion would not be needed.

Geotechnical factors affecting secondary extraction were identified from interviews with collieries already re-mining pillars and with people experienced in stooping, then quantified and ranked against the different aspects of the work. No single factor governs the outcome. Factors interact, so choosing a method and working safely in old workings depends on managing them together across disciplines.

A framework for planning land use on rehabilitated coal mining land, built from a review of international and national regulatory and corporate guidance and from interviews with industry practitioners. The review found that existing guidance requires land to be returned as close as possible to its pre mining condition, while community needs are pushing rehabilitation towards alternative land uses that can sustain livelihoods.

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.
