BS ISO 13547-1:2014

This standard BS ISO 13547-1:2014 Copper, lead, zinc and nickel sulfide concentrates. Determination of arsenic is classified in these ICS categories:

• 73.060.99 Other metalliferous minerals

This International Standard specifies an iron hydroxide concentration and inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometric (ICP-AES) method for the determination of the mass fraction of arsenic in copper, lead, zinc, and nickel sulfide concentrates as follows:

1. for copper sulfide concentrates, the method is applicable to the determination of mass fractions of arsenic from 0,05 % to 2,0 %;

2. for lead sulfide concentrates, the method is applicable to the determination of mass fractions of arsenic from 0,05 % to 1,0 %;

3. for zinc sulfide concentrates, the method is applicable to the determination of mass fractions of arsenic from 0,05 % to 0,6 %;

4. for nickel sulfide concentrates, the method is applicable to the determination of mass fraction of arsenic from 0,05 % to 1,0 %.
