Dense-medium beneficiation of fine coal revisited
Dense-medium beneficiation of fine (minus 0.5 mm) coal is not a new concept and has been used in South Africa previously. The dense-medium fine coal plant at Greenside Colliery operated for almost 18 years and, despite proving a difficult plant to operate, did succeed in producing a fine coal product with a low ash content of 7%. No other ...

Discards beneficiation in South Africa (Conference) | OSTI.GOV
Apart from de-shaling operations, all beneficiation entails rejecting, not only adventitious stone but a large percentage of high ash but strongly combustible middlings material. Typically, a coal preparation plant can only recover about 70-80% of the heat in the run-of-mine coal. The other 20-30% ends up on the discard heap.
The Benefits and Challenges Associated With Coal in South ...
Several major concerns confront coal in South Africa. For instance, the run-of-mine coal qualities are now generally higher in ash content and therefore lower in grade as much of the better quality coals have already been selectively extracted. Coals on the thermal (steam) market in South Africa are sold on grade (i.e., calorific content).
