Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

GLP compliance:
no
Remarks:
other quality assurance

Test material

Constituent 1
Reference substance name:
Iron silicate, copper smelting and refining
EC Number:
701-480-0
Cas Number:
67711-92-6
IUPAC Name:
Iron silicate, copper smelting and refining
Details on test material:
Two samples were tested:
Type I: Slag, Granules, Primary ( Sample 09TT02641)
Type III: Slag, Slow cooled, primary ( Sample 09TT05244)

Sampling and sample preparation was performed according to ECI/REACH C1 Sampling Protocol. The C1 sampling protocol also provides detailed information on the identity of the samples (see IUCLID section 1.4).

Results and discussion

Flammable solids
Test procedure:
other: TG/DSC measurements
Remarks on result:
other: The substance has shown to be thermally stable in presence of oxygen up to 630oC. and over. The TG/DSC measurements and mineralogical composition does not support the flammable properties of copper slag.

Any other information on results incl. tables

The substance has shown to be thermally stable in presence of oxygen. Based on TG/DSC measurements the oxidation starts at 630oC. (sample 09TT02641) and~800 °C (sample 09TT05244).


 

 

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
non flammable
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
The study indicates that the copper slag has no flammability
properties
Executive summary:

The substance has shown to be thermally stable in presence of oxygen up to 630oC. and over.


The TG/DSC measurements and mineralogical composition does not support the flammable properties of copper slag.
