Author:Kershaw, JRDate:1976The oils from dynamic and static hydrogenation, supercritical gas extraction and soxhlet extraction were separated into a number of fractions by absorption chromatography on silica-gel. The fractions from this chromatographic separation were ...Read more
Author:Fourie, PJF; Erasmus, TCDate:1977The beneficiation of minus 0,5 mm coal in the Republic of South Africa is reviewed in terms of the availability of fines, the formidability of its cleaning, froth flotation, autogenous cyclones, tables, and dense medium cyclones.Read more
Author:Barrass, GDate:1978A method utilising the "hot-rod" reactor has been employed to study the hydropyrolysis characteristics of a selection of South African coals. The effects of various operating parameters involved in this process have been investigated such as ...Read more
Author:Gaigher, JLDate:1977This report deals with the reactivity of mineral matter prepared from coal by the radio-frequency oxidation method, with the using X-ray diffraction to detect mineral phase changes, and possible react ion mechanisms.Read more
Author:Clark, D; Darazas, MDate:1978During the investigation, three methods of preheating the green coal in the guillotine door area of the stoker have been tried. One of these has proved successful. In addition, a series of preliminary laboratory tests have been carried out ...Read more
Author:Erasmus, TCDate:1972The present study is confined to investigation of the ignition phase of the combustion process and deductions must be seen in that light.Read more
Author:Moodie, BDate:1974A survey of the Maceral composition of the products prepared by the collieries in the Republic was initiated a number of years ago. The first report (Report No. 10 of 1974) dealt with the Maceral composition of the products prepared by the ...Read more
Author:Gaigher, JLDate:1977The regional variation of mineral matter to ash ratios for some coal product samples is discussed by means of frequency weighted histograms.Read more
Author:Viljoen, GA; Kuhn, AH; Erasmus, TCDate:1974A sample of coal submitted by the Somerset Mining Company was treated in the Institute's coal preparation pilot plant as Pretoria West. The major portion of the relative density float product prepared in the Drewboy washer, was subsequently ...Read more
Author:Gaigher, JLDate:1976This report discusses an investigation of radio frequency ashing, micro-sieving in an ultrasonic bath and X-ray diffraction analysis, it is possible to determine the grain-size distribution of the mineral matter in a coal sample.Read more
