Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Good quality study that assessed full chemistry and mineralogy of a representative anode copper. Proposed mineralogy (distribution pattern for each key element, i.e. % from total into the various mineralogical forms/species present into the UVCB) can be used for classification of the UVCB substance (mixture toxicity rules).
- Executive summary:
The studied ten (10) "primary and secondary anode samples" contain 88.950- 99.779% copper, 20- 77500 ppm nickel, 150- 11200 ppm tin, 25- 9400 ppm lead, 110- 6990 ppm antimony, 40- 2640 ppm sulphur, 145- 2200 ppm silver and 290- 1660 ppm arsenic. Other elements detected include selenium, zinc, bismuth, iron, cadmium, tellurium, cobalt, chromium and oxygen.
The mineralogy of the two studied copper anodes consist mainly of copper 95.3% and 99.5% with accessory alloys, sulphides and oxides.
- Sample 09TT03187 contains as accessory phases 1,4% nickel- antimony- tin –alloys, 1.3% chalcocite, and 1% cassiterite and
- Sample 09TT03484 trace amounts (<0.3%) of lead-, antimony and copper oxides
The studied two (2) "primary and secondary blister copper samples" contain 91.6 and 98.8% copper, 0.27 and 0.52% nickel, 0.09 and 0.7% lead, and 0.06 and 4.1% silver. Both of the samples consist mainly of metallic copper.
- Sample 09TT02775 consist of 93.9% copper, 3.2% silver- antimony –alloys, 1.5% lead- antimony –oxides and accessory novakite – type silver arsenide and tenorite.
- Sample 09TT05249 consist 97.3% copper, 1.8% cuprite, and accessory iron alloy and paulmooreite – type lead- arsenic oxide.
