Application of EARTH Ion Exchange Technology to Process RO (Hipro) Brine from eWRP

EARTH

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.

What this report found

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.

What this report found

The separator handled fine coal and produced a 28 MJ/kg product, but its measured separation efficiency was lower than that of conventional dense medium cyclones and it was harder to operate. Two efficiency tests produced no evidence that the unit outperforms cyclones on fine coal, so cyclones were recommended when the plant was rebuilt at its next site.
