My name is Pinkie Delia Motsoeneng, I am 24 years of age and I was on a learnership with Cwenga Technologies (Pty) Ltd. Firstly I would like to thank the organisation for the amazing Learnership opportunity over the last 12 months, when I came to the company I had no experience in business administration, that was until I came across the learnership opportunity that was offered to me.
Cwenga has been a patron of COPESSA for 5 years now. For Cwenga the decision to continue our support of Copessa has been an easy one to make.
For the IMWA 2016 conference we put together a paper that provides an overview of the potential for recovery of value from contaminated mine waters and waste streams. It discusses various metal ions commonly found in acid mine drainage and other mine waters (mainly Co, Ni, Zn, and U) and evaluates at what concentration they become attractive to investigate for recovery using ion-exchange technology.
Both ion exchange resin and activated carbon are well established technologies used in the final stage decolourisation of sugar liquors for the production of high quality white sugars
