Acid bio-desulphurisation of coal discards using a heap leaching approach

<p dir="ltr">This dataset forms part of the "ACID BIO-DESULPHURISATION OF COAL DISCARDS USING A HEAP LEACHING APPROACH" Masters project (Submitted in February 2024). </p><p dir="ltr">The data were collected from 2017 to 2020 in the CeBER laboratories (Chemical Engineering Department/ University of Cape Town). </p><p dir="ltr">The dataset contains:</p><ul><li>Pre-leaching coal discards characterisation results (PSD, ARD static tests, XRD, XRF, elements analysis, LECO, sulphur forms, calorific value)</li><li>Column leach experimental results (volume of leachate collected, lab temperature, pH, redox, ferrous/ferric ion and sulphate concentration, estimated iron/sulphur leached)</li><li>Post-leaching coal discards characterisation results (ARD static/ biokinetic tests, calorific value)</li></ul><p></p>
