Abstract:
A survey of the Maceral composition of the products prepared by the collieries in the Republic was initiated a number of years ago. The first report (Report No. 10 of 1974) dealt with the Maceral composition of the products prepared by the collieries in the Transvaal. One major colliery (New Springfield, south of Heidelberg) was not included in this report by virtue of the fact that it is situated near the border of the Orange Free State and mines the same seams as the collieries in that province. The basic data on which this report is based, consisting of the maceral analyses of the commercially available products prepared by each colliery, are recorded in table 4, where they appear in alphabetical order. Table 5 contains the calculated mean value for each product under the names of the respective collieries.

    The Fuel Research Institute of South Africa is the outcome of a movement which originated in the immediate post war years. The war period had emphasized the dependence of the modem State on adequate supplies of fuel and focused public attention on the need for conserving these supplies and utilizing them to the best advantage. It began to be more generally realized that the application of science to the fuel problem had resulted in the development of more economical methods of utilizing coal and in the recovery there from of valuable industrial raw materials; that the discovery or development of an internal source of liquid fuel or oil would be of immense advantage to the country; that the industrial and mining development of the Union was dependent on the development of cheap sources of energy; and that the Union's exportable coal resources were a means of bringing capital into the country.
