A 2022 report showed that South Africa lost approximately R50-billion in export opportunities due to the rail and port constraints (Mineral Council of South Africa, 2022). Furthermore, rail infrastructure has become dilapidated in South Africa (Transnet) and Zimbabwe (National Railway of Zimbabwe), due to the lack of maintenance and …

The concept of beneficiation is not new in South Africa, but it took major steps forward during the 1990s. During this period, the South African mining sector changed from being a predominantly primary commodity exporter to becoming a world exporter of processed minerals. South Africa, for example, produced 2.9Mt of ferrochrome (used in ...

The Republic of South Africa (the RSA) was selected as a beneficiation case study due to the presence of a long-standing iron and steel industry that dates back to the beginning …

Through beneficiation and value addition, the Zimbabwean government intended to improve the contribution of the manufacturing sector (inclusive of smelter and refinery products) to exports from 16% to 50%, create employment, minimize the trade deficit and increase fiscal incomes (Baissac et al., 2015; Zimbabwe Ministry of Industry …

How can South Africa, a resource rich and labour-abundant economy, employ upstream and downstream mineral beneficiation as a way of developing its economy further? A …

Confronted with a sluggish growth and very high rates of rural unemployment, South Africa has put local beneficiation at the core of its strategy for employment-intensive re-industrialisation. Its industrial policy action plan identified ... How effective is local beneficiation policy in enhancing rural income and employment? The case of agro ...

Given the historically salient role of beneficiation in the country, and in the broader South African Development Community, it was politically complex to expect a full shift out from beneficiation, so the team proposed a "middle ground" strategy: following capabilities first, then beneficiating if that's in the optimal set.

The Republic of South Africa (the RSA) was selected as a beneficiation case study due to the presence of a long-standing iron and steel industry that dates back to the beginning of the twentieth century. Historically, the RSA has large domestic reserves of thermal coal, iron ore refractories, and dolomite and limestone, which are the basic ...

In this project, chromite tailings from Western Limb of the South African Bushveld Igneous Complex (BIC) was characterised with the objective of recovering fine and ultrafine chromite using wet magnetic separation process. 2. Materials and Methods. Chromite tailings ore sample was obtained from a MG chromite processing plant in the Western Limb ...

The efficiency of physical separation techniques of heavy minerals usually encounters some set-backs. The reason is often not far from the inability to develop suitable mineral characterization strategies in order to comprehend/evaluate certain physicochemical features such as surface chemistry, specific gravity difference, magnetic …

Beneficiation. An area where South Africa can increase its potential for economic growth, development and job creation is the Beneficiation of its extracted minerals. Beneficiation is the transformation of a mineral, or a combination of minerals, into a higher-value product, which can either be consumed locally or exported. ...

By enhancing the quality of lower-grade raw materials through beneficiation, downstream processes also become more viable. Various production routes are available to transform iron ore into liquid steel, as shown in Figure 1. The selected route depends to a large extent on the quality of the iron ore, energy source and related costs.

The role of metallurgy in enhancing beneficiation in the South African mining industry. J. S. Afr. Inst. Min. Metall. [online]. 2013, vol.113, n.9, pp.677-680. ISSN 2411-9717. Beneficiation, in the context of this paper, has two distinct definitions. From an economic perspective, beneficiation relates to adding value to a mined raw material.
