DyVar Pilot Test Report
Batch pilot trial of a salt concentration unit on saline coal mine effluent at the eMalahleni reclamation plant, for mines weighing brine treatment and salt recovery.
A pilot brine concentrator treated Stage 3 reject effluent from a mine water reclamation plant, raising total dissolved solids from 24 g/L to 154 g/L at 88 per cent water recovery. The condensate met the national potable water specification. A separate run concentrated brine from 76 g/L to 145 g/L, solid salts were precipitated, and no scaling or fouling was seen.

Dust masks worn by load haul dump operators passed 200 mg of filter loading in an average of 1.7 hours, and continuous miner, shuttle car and roofbolt operators reached the same point within two to five hours. Every mask failed laboratory fit testing. An eight hour service life is too long.
Coal Washability Using Coal Petrography
2019
Summary of postgraduate work validating washability prediction for southern African coals by image analysis and tomography, written for geologists, metallurgists and mining engineers valuing a deposit.
What this report foundA single float sink test destroys the sample and gives one deterministic answer, so it cannot show how washability changes with particle size distribution.

A single float sink test destroys the sample and gives one deterministic answer, so it cannot show how washability changes with particle size distribution. Simulating washability from petrographic images and tomography allows many size distributions to be tested statistically from one sample. Running simulation alongside float sink work during exploration lets the prediction error of each be compared.
Relationship Between Remuneration, Employee Morale, Stress and the Subsequent Impact on Safety, Productivity and Profitability.
2006
Study of pay and bonus structures on South African coal mines across management, staff and operator grades, for human resources practitioners and mine managers reviewing incentive schemes.
What this report foundBuilds on an earlier productivity audit that identified fluctuating bonuses and incentives as an influence on output, safety and employee stress.
R1500,00
Builds on an earlier productivity audit that identified fluctuating bonuses and incentives as an influence on output, safety and employee stress. The work examines how salaries, production bonuses and safety bonuses are graded and distributed across employee categories, how workers perceive that distribution, and whether incentives in practice motivate production and safe working. Stress and morale are treated as measures of wellbeing.
