This short paper communicates various methods for recovering energy value from fine coal discards generated by the South African coal mining industry. The cost of dewatering or drying these fines <150μm exceeds the fuel value of the fines. However the quality of these fines is equivalent to that of run- of –mine coal. These fines are normally disposed into the slurry dams. They have negative environmental impact such as acid mine drainage, dust release and spontaneous combustion. Various technologies for treating and recovering the value out of these fines are discussed. This paper, thus presents energy and material recovery from coal fine coal discards. It also highlights the waste minimization and utilization options for this abundantly a...
