Water pollution from coal

Acid mine drainage (AMD) refers to the outflow of acidic water from coal or metal mines, often abandoned ones where ore- or coal mining activities have exposed rocks containing the sulphur-bearing mineral pyrite. Pyrite reacts with air and water to form sulphuric acid and dissolved iron, and as water washes through mines, this compound forms a dilute …

Losses in the coal supply chain

African plants make use of two dense-medium cyclones, a large diameter for >10 mm, and a small diameter for 1–10 mm. Fines are commonly separated in vertically orientated spiral cyclones, especially in the USA. These systems have few or no moving parts, and comprise of spiral columns which use gravity flowing water.
