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 ...

WhatsApp: +86 18838072829Froth 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 ...
WhatsApp: +86 18838072829The coaloil gold agglomeration (CGA) process is another approach to recover fine particles. It was developed by the British Petroleum (BP) research team in the early eighties and is based on the natural hydrophobicity of coal and gold compared with most gangue materials . It allows a selective recovery of hydrophobic gold particles attaching ...

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.
WhatsApp: +86 18838072829The study on gold recovering from amalgamation tailings by CGA process showed that about 88% gold can be captured by coaloil agglomerates (COA) and the gross gold recovery is more than 85% .
WhatsApp: +86 18838072829CGA 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.
