BCI Chemical Research & Analysis – Eutectic Freeze Crystallisation

Jacques Magliolo

Desktop market and technology review of brine from coal related waste, covering global and South African demand, plant energy use and laboratory crystalliser results, for water treatment planners.

What this report found

Eutectic freeze crystallisation was compared with evaporative crystallisation as a route for treating hypersaline mine brine. Optimised commercial evaporative crystallisers use 40 to 50 kWh per cubic metre of feed. Laboratory work measured a eutectic temperature of -21.1 degrees Celsius for pure sodium chloride solution, and found that a large difference between coolant and solution caused scaling on the heat exchanger wall.

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.

What this report found

The fine coal dense medium pilot plant was rebuilt at South Witbank Coal Mine and run on fine coal, with tests covering single, double and three stage processing, the effect of recirculating load, magnetite size and losses, separation efficiency and continuous operation. The fast screen could not deliver the required capacity and was replaced by dewatering cyclones to deslime the feed.
