A gold recovery method, called the coal gold agglomeration (CGA) process, whereby hydrophobic gold particles are recovered from ore slurries into coaloil agglomerates, and the subsequent burning of these agglomerates to recover the gold, was developed some years ago.

The coal gold agglomeration (CGA) process is a novel gold recovering technique, which has following advantages. Studies on gold recovery from amalgamation tailings by CGA process shows that about 88% gold can be captured by coaloil agglomeration and the gross gold recovery is more than 85%.
In this process, fine raw coal, crushed below 10 cm, is comminuted in hammer crushers to below 250 μm and mixed with water to make a 50% by weight suspension; this is further ground below 15 μm and then diluted with water to 15% solids by weight.
The utilization of coaloil agglomerates in the recovery of gold is based on the 'natural' hydrophobicity/oleophilicity of gold, a property which according to the consensus of most surface chemistry experts is brought about by the ease by which gold surface becomes contaminated.
Coaloil gold agglomeration The coaloil gold agglomeration (CGA) method has been identified as an alternative to cyanide for largescale operations. ... complexes are generally unstable and critics remain sceptical about their widespread use because of the significant chemical and process control required during processing to maintain gold in ...
The effects of different physical parameters such as pulp density, aeration conditions, and impeller speed on the performance of coaloil assisted gold flotation were investigated in this study. The experiments were conducted using samples taken from an epithermal gold ore deposit. The results demonstrated that increasing the solid concentration in feed pulp slightly improves recovery of gold ...

In the last 25 years, different alternative processes have been investigated on gold deposits located in areas where environmental issues are a great concern. In 1988, gold particles were first recovered by successful pilot trial of coal‐gold agglomeration (CGA) process in Australia.

Utilization of coaloil agglomerates to recover gold particles A. Marciano §, Costa, Lins Add to Mendeley https://// (94)900159 Get rights and content Abstract The present work deals with gold grains recovery by means of coaloil agglomerates.
CGA process isbased onthe hydrophobic characteristic of gold particles which are free or readily liberated and includes the selective recovery of gold particles by coaloil agglomerates (Marciano et al. 1994; Moses and Petersen 2000). First, the coaloil agglomerates are preformed by intensive agitation of coal and oil in slurry.
Crude petroleum, various distilled petroleum fractions such as diesel oil, pure aliphatic hydrocarbons and vegetables oils were used as agglomerating agents for oil agglomeration of coal in CGA ...
Gold recovery processes that applied to different types of gold bearing ore deposits show that the type of deposits plays an important role for the selection of mineral processing technologies in the production of gold and other precious metals.
Free gold recovery by coaloil agglomeration by W. Kotze* and Petersen* Synopsis The gold mining industry has mainly relied upon the use of highly polluting chemicals, such as mercury and cyanide to recover gold from its ores. The Coal Gold Agglomeration (CGA) process was developed some years ago and has the advantage in that gold is
The theoretical foundation of the CGA process is based on the difference in free energy and was expressed as a function of the interfacial tensions and threephase contact angles between gold, oil and water, together with the ratio of coaloil agglomerate to gold particle radii, as the free energy is a measure of the thermodynamic stability and ...
The laboratory and industrial tests show that the sulfuroil agglomeration method is a promising process to deal with the goldbearing ore and obtain higher gold recoveries. Compared with the coaloilgold agglomeration (CGA), sulfuroil agglomeration is more effective for gold ore processing with less reagents usage.

This study aimed to investigate the applicability of coaloil gold agglomeration (CGA) assisted flotation to recover gold from a refractory ore. The ore with the grade of 25 g/t was tested with the CGAflotation process in six different size fractions from 38 to 300 urn using different collector types and dosages. In addition, the flotation without CGA was performed under the same condition ...

Coaloil gold agglomeration (CGA) process is one of these processes, which was developed by British Petroleum (BP) research team in the early eighties [47].
from its ores. The Coal Gold Agglomeration (CGA) process was developed some years ago and has the advantage in that gold is recovered by a procedure which has little or no negative impact on the environment. A gold ore containing liberated gold particles is contacted with coaloil agglomerates, whereby the gold is recovered into the coal/oil phase.
The use of coaloil agglomerates to recover gold became known to public when a patent, was granted to BP Australia Ltd in 1986 [7]. This process, together with two other patent applications by BP, became known as the CoalGold Agglomeration (CGA).

A process called coalgoldagglomeration (CGA) has been investigated for recovering gold since early 1980s Cadzow and Lamb, 1989, House et al., 1988. Although there are different derivative flowsheets for the CGA since then, the contacting and adhesion process of gold particles with agglomerates is the key element that always lies at the ...
Froth flotation is one of the traditional methods for the recovery of gold like gravity, amalgamation, and leaching processes. The flotation process gets rather complicated when gold particles become finer due to their physicochemicomechanical relations (ElRahiem 2014).The coal gold agglomeration process (CGA) is considered an appropriate process for the problematic particles containing ...
