Abstract
The British oil and minerals company, BP, is developing a new gold recovery process which offers commercial advantages for low grade ores, avoids cyanidation and is environmentally acceptable. Hydrophobic gold particles are recovered from ore slurries into agglomerates formed from coal and oil. The agglomerates are recycled to increase gold loading, then separated from the slurry, burnt, and the resultant ash smelted to produce gold bullion. The process has been laboratory tested on many gold ores and has operated successfully at pilot plant (1 tph) scale. Coal gold agglomeration has many technical and cost advantages over existing technology, BP's work has indicated. 4 figs.
