	Mining Technology - Sasol Mining Coal Mine - Twistdraai - South Africa
		Lying in the Highveld coalfield, east of Johannesburg, the mine was opened in 1980 to produce coal for Sasol’s Secunda synthesis plant, and since 1995 has been a three-shaft complex producing low-ash steam coal for the export market as well as a middlings product for Sasol feed.
		Sasol plans to replace this operation with a new mine, although its policy of using increasing amounts of natural gas imported from Mozambique as a feedstock for its synfuels plants will mean that its demand for coal will be correspondingly reduced.
		Coarse coal is washed for export using a bank of 18,800mm-diameter, gravity-feed, dense-medium cyclones, with finer material forming feed for the Sasol conversion plant and its on-site power station.
