PDF Effect of preagglomeration on the flotation of finesized gold ...

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.

Use of coaloil agglomerates for particulate gold recovery

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).

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 μm using different collector types and dosages.

Flotation as a separation technique in the coal gold agglomeration process

A study was conducted to optimize the separation phase of the coal gold agglomeration (CGA) process through a flotation technique. Batch tests were performed on a synthetic (7 g/t) gold ore ...

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 ...

Flotation of Fine Gold Particles by the Assistance of CoalOil ...

This paper describes the use of coaloil agglomerates in flotation to increase the gold recovery from an ore containing fine gold particles. The effects of operating parameters on gold flotation recovery such as oil type, particle size of agglomerating material, agglomerate/ore and oil/ore ratios were investigated. The studies showed that petroleum oils are more effective than vegetable oils ...

Free gold recovery by coaloil agglomeration ResearchGate

The coalgold agglomeration (CGA) process has its merits for very fine liberated gold particles (below 25 µm) (Sen et al., 2010) [104], as commonly found in alluvial ores.

Use of coaloil agglomerates for particulate gold recovery

Oil serves as a bridge between coal and gold particles, used oils are diesel oil, kerosene and vegetable oil as agglomerating liquids to process goldcontaining materials, while coal acts as a carrier and facilitates effective separation of the goldbearing agglomerates. The CGA method has proven to be effective if used to process liberated ...

The adhesion of gold to oilcarbon agglomerates ScienceDirect

The coalgoldagglomeration process (CGA) for the recovery of liberated gold with agglomerates made from powdered coal and oil was developed less than 20 years ago (House et al., 1988a; Cadzow and Lamb (1989)). However the use of similar agglomerates as collectors for other minerals was discovered much earlier.

Some factors influencing the gold recovery by oil agglomeration

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.
