BCI Chemical Research & Analysis – ion Exchange

Jacques Magliolo

Global, regional and South African market analysis of ion exchange resins as applied to mine waste brine, including a United States pilot plant, for technology and investment decisions.

What this report found

Ion exchange was assessed as a treatment route for brine arising from mine water cleaning, from a market rather than a plant performance standpoint. World demand for ion exchange resins was expected to pass 535 million dollars by 2015, driven by urbanisation, pollution and shortages of clean water in developing regions.

What this report found

Practical guidance for opencast operations covers early detection with low cost thermal cameras, prevention, and the treatment methods in current use: water sprays and cannons, sand cladding of highwalls and stockpiles, removal of burning coal by dragline, tipping into water ponds and the treatment of sinkhole areas. A three month full scale trial of sprayed fly ash as an antioxidant is reported.

Development of a Horizontal Winnower for the Beneficiation of Fine Coal

Proof of concept work on dry beneficiation of minus 6 mm coal, combining airflow modelling and simulation with a laboratory winnowing box, for plants short of process water.

What this report found

Horizontal air winnowing separated fine coal by particle size and density in laboratory experiments, supported by equation of motion modelling and computational fluid dynamics. Modelling indicated that a chamber 0.6 m high and 1 m long is sufficient to displace any minus 6 mm particle at air velocities of 10 to 30 m/s.
