SECTION 1
INTRODUCTION
At the request of EPA Region IX, the Aerotherm Division of Acurex
Corporation undertook a series of stack tests at the Kennecott Copper Corpora-
tion's Hayden, Arizona primary copper smelter. The purposes of the test pro-
gram were:
1. To determine ,if the smelter's particulate emissions complied with
regulations for existing sources
2. To measure quantities of SO-/H-SO. and SO^ being emitted to the
atmosphere from point sources within the smelter
Tests were conducted at the following point sources:
1. The acid plant tail gas stack
2. The main stack venting emissions from the reverberatory furnace
The main stack was sampled during the period August 5, 1976 to August 11,
1976 and the acid plant tail gas stack was sampled on December 15 and 16,
1976.
This report documents the results obtained and preparations and pro-
cedures used by Aerotherm at the Kennecott Smelter. Section 2 presents
summaries of all results obtained and some general conclusions. A discussion
of the results is found in Section 3. Section 4 and 5 contain descriptions
of all preparations and procedures regarding sampling equipment, analytical
methods, and sample handling. The Appendices contain supplemental data such
as raw data sheets, process operating data, a daily activities summary, cali-
bration data, calculations, and laboratory data.
-------
SECTION 2
RESULTS
Included in this section is a summary of all particulate and gaseous
emissions results and process feedrate calculations for the two separate
sampling trips. Tests on the Kennecott Copper Smelter reverberatory fur-
nace stack were conducted from 8/5/76 to 8/11/76. Acid plant testing was
performed on 12/15/76 and 12/16/76. The allowable particulate emission
rates from the acid plant and the main stack are calculated using the for-
mula in the process weight regulation (40 CFR 52.126(b)) and the solid feed-
rates to the three individual processes (roaster, reverberatory furnace
and converters) that produce and vent effluent to the two point sources
sampled.
2.1 EMISSION TEST RESULTS
Results of the emission tests are most conveniently displayed in tab-
ular form. Two tables are presented for each point source sampled. They
are:

2.2 PROCESS FEEDRATE DETERMINATION
In order to determine the allowable particulate emission rates for
the acid plant tail gas stack and the main stack, process feedrates for each
source had to be determined. The allowable emission rate for the main stack
is a function of solids fed to the reverberatory furnace. The allowable
emission rate for the acid plant is a function of solids fed to the fluidized
bed reactor and the converters. A description of the procedures used to
compute these process feedrates follows.
2.2.1 Process Height and Allowable Emission Rates for the Main Stack
Allowable emissions from the main stack are a function of solids fed
to the reverberatory furnace. Since no direct means exists to measure this
feedrate, an estimate must be made based on the reactor feed. Briefly, the
calculation method suggested by Kennecott states that all the reactor feed
goes to the reverberatory furnace as calcine except 50 percent of the feed's
sulfur content. This percentage is Kennecott's estimate of the sulfur lost
as oxides in the reactor vessel. The sulfur content of the reactor concen-
trate is analyzed daily and these values for the test days can be found in
Appendix C. Lime and felting (for furnace wall protection) are additionally
charged to the reverberatory furnace. These values are also found in Table
2-5.
It would be possible to verify the 50-percent loss approximation by
analyzing the calcine sulfur content or by doing sulfur oxide emissions tests
upstream of the venturi scrubber in the reactor flue. However, this testing
is beyond the scope of work for the program.
The formulas used to calculate the allowable particulate emission
rates for processes of this type are taken from CFR Title 40 Subsection
52.126. These formulas are:
1. E = 3.59 p°'62 where P £ 30 tons/hour
2. E = 17.31 p°-16 where P > 30 tons/hour
where
E = emissions in pounds/hour
P = process weight in tons/hour
2-8
-------
Total feedrates to the reverberatory furnace on the test days were all greater
than 30 tons/hour except August 11. Therefore Equation (1) was applied to
this day's test while Equation (2) was applied to the data from August 5, 6,
9, and 10. Results of these calculations can be found in Table 2-5.
It should be noted that although reactor feedrate data appears in
the main stack daily activities section, it has no direct bearing on emissions
to the main stack. This is a function of feedrate to the reverberatory
furnace. However, reverberatory furnace operation is dependent on feed from
the reactor. For this reason — to indicate steady feed to the reverb — this
data has been included. Units are in tons for the time period sampled in
each port (30 minutes).
2.2.2 Process Weight and Allowable Emission Rates for the Acid Plant
Allowable emissions form the acid plant are a function of solids fed
to the reactor and converters. Effluent from these two smelter processes are
vented to the acid plant after primary cleaning in the venturi scrubber (re-
actor off-gases) and the Peabody scrubber (converter off-gases). The reactor
feedrate is measured by a weightometer located before the reactor concentrate
storage bin. Reactor operating times have been taken from the reactor feed-
rate circular charts found in Appendix C. Converter total feed weights,
which include reverb matte and converter flux, have been provided by Kennecott
in their April 13, 1977 letter — also found in Appendix C. Separate emission
limits are calculated for each process (roaster and converters). The allow-
able particulate emission rate from the sulfuric acid plant is determined
by summing the two individual process emission rates for the roaster and
converter processes.
The formulas used to calculate the allowable particulate emission rates
for processes of this type are taken from CFR Title 40 Subsection 52.126.
These formulas are:
1. E = 3.59 p°'62 where P £ 30 tons/hour
2. E = 17.31 p°-16 where P > 30 tons/hour
where
E = emissions in pounds/hour
P = process weight in tons/hour
2-9
-------
Total process feedrates for December 15 and 16, 1976 are greater than 30 tons/
hour therefore Equation (2) is used. Allowable particulate emission rates
were then calculated to be 66.28 and 64.84 pounds per hour respectively. The
figures used for these calculations can be found in Table 2-6.
There are two weightometers located just before the reactor concentrate
storage bin. One of these is not accessible and therefore not calibrated often.
The data from this weightometer can be found on circular charts in Appendix C.
The figures used in our calculations are from the more accurate weightometer
and can be found in Kennecott's April 13, 1977 letter. Reactor operating
times were, however, taken from the circular charts.
The hourly converter feedrates were calculated based on examination
of the converter blowing charts in Appendix C (Converter number 1 was not
operational during the acid plant test series). For a given 24-hour period
the total number of hours during which at least one converter was blowing
was determined. The total converter feed during the same 24-hour period
was then divided by the numbers of hours in which at least one converter
was blowing. The resultant figures were the hourly converter feedrates for
December 15 and 16, 1976 as shown in Table 2-6.
Table 2-7 presents the sampling schedule and how it coincided with
the reactor and converter operating times. The process times have been
taken from the circular charts in Appendix C. Time intervals of 10 minutes
or less when the process was down have been considered as part of continuous
operation.

SECTION 3
DISCUSSION OF RESULTS
3.1 MAIN STACK
Table 2-1 summarizes some general test conditions and various flue
gas parameters. Table 2-2 summarizes all emissions data and the isokinetic
percentages for the main stack tests. Particulate results from tests 2, 3,
and 7 have been invalidated for the following reasons:
1. Tests 1, 3, and 7 exceeded the isokinetic sampling guideline re-
quired by EPA Method 5 in that they did not fall within the range
90 <_ percent I _< 110. The isokinetic percentages for these tests
are 110.1, 130.4 and 127.0 percent respectively. However we
believe Test 1 to be acceptable and the results representative.
Test 7 has a suspiciously high instack filter weight - indicating
the possibility of port scale contamination. Since this is spec-
ulation only, it does not constitute a basis for rejection of
this test. The high isokinetic percentage, however, is cause
for rejection.
2. Test 2 has been discarded because a faulty umbilical cord (kinked
pi tot tube hoses) produced inaccurate velocity pressure readings
yielding results over 100 percent greater than the average veloci-
ties of the remaining tests.
Table 3-1 presents a summary of all valid main stack emission rate
data. Using data from the three valid filter outstack tests, average par-
ticulate emission values have been calculated. They are:
Particulate concentration - 0.027 gr/scfd
Particulate concentration - 3.9 x 10~6 lb/ft3
Particulate emission rate —21.0 Ib/hour

Particulate emission values for the valid instack/outstack filter test
is:
Particulate concentration — 0.027 gr/scfd
Particulate concentration - 3.9 x 10~6 lb/ft3
Particulate emission rate — 18.9 Ibs/hour
Table 3-2 shows these emission values separated into their filter instack and
filter outstack fractions. These figures are not totally accurate because the
probe wash and the front half of the outstack filterholder wash was inadver-
tently included in the nozzle and instack filterholder wash. However we can
see that almost 30 percent of the total catch is particulate matter that
passed through the instack filter but was caught on the outstack filter and
also matter that condensed below stack temperature and above 250°F.
All S0? and SO-JHLSO. emission data is valid with the exception of
Test Number 2. Gaseous results are unaffected by nonisokinetic sampling.
Although the 50.,/hLSO. results obtained are valid within the constraints of
the specified EPA combined Method 5 and 8 procedures, the actual SO^/^SO,
concentration is probably significantly higher. This is a result of quantities
of sulfuric acid mist being caught on the filter and not in the impinger train.
This is evidenced by the hygroscopic nature of the filters. The total quan-
tity of SO-/HLSO. can be determined by sulfate analysis of the filters.
Using data from the six valid gaseous tests, average S0? and SO,,/H?SO,
emission values have been calculated. They are:
S02 concentration (by volume) - 3961 ppm
S02 concentration - 6.55 x 10~v Ib/ft
S02 emission rate - 3.12 x 1Q3 Ib/hour
S03/H2SO. concentration (by volume) - 12 ppm
S03/H2S04 concentration -2.0 x 10"6 lb/ft3
S0/HS0 emission rate - 10.0 Ib/hour
The results in Table 2-2 for particulate emission rates clearly show
the main stack to be within the allowable particulate emission rate based on

the results for the three valid tests. There are no emission regulations for
SCL or SCL/hLSO. from primary copper smelters.
A brief statistical analysis on particulate and gaseous emission rates
for the three valid tests is presented in Table 3-3.
Particulate concentration and emission rates have been calculated
based on "extrapolated weights." Referring to Table 2-2 it can be seen that
particulate data has been calculated based on three different filter weights.
These weights are a function of the hygroscopic nature of the particulate —
laden filters, the relative humidity in the analytical balance room, and the
time spent in weighing the filter after removal from the desiccator. Actual
weights can be found in Appendix E. The three weights are defined as follows:
Extrapolated weight — filter weight extrapolated to time zero (before
any gain in weight due to moisture adsorption)
First measured weight — filter weight measured as soon as possible
after removal from the desiccator, usually 15 seconds
Equilibrium weight - filter weight after no more water could be ad-
sorbed from ambient air
The reverberatory furnace electrostatic precipitator (shown schemati-
cally in Figure 3-1) was periodically monitored during the main stack test
series. Table 3-4 is a summary of the ESP data obtained for the valid stack
tests. Data is available for Test 1 - traverse C and tests - traverse D.
Four parameters were monitored, they are; primary AC volts, primary AC amps,
secondary DC milliamps and spark rate in sparks per minute. Secondary
voltage was not metered. This value could be calculated, if desired, although
only if a value for transformer efficiency was obtained.
There are a number of items that can be mentioned about the precipita-
tor performance during the testing period. The overall impression of the
precipitator was one of a poorly maintained unit. It is desirable to main-
tain corona voltage high enough to cause some sparking, although not exces-
sive amounts. Approximately 100 sparks per minute is the generally accepted
value for the optimum spark rate where the gains from increased voltage are
just offset by the losses from sparkover. A number of factors bear on the

spark rate, not the least of which is regular maintenance and fine tuning of
the electronics. Kennecott's reverb precipitator typically had zero spark
rate in most sections. A possible cause for this is grounded electrodes
for which there are numerous causes. TR set inside 1 and 2 typically was
at a rate of 150 sparks/minute. This is probably higher than desired
resulting in a lowered collection efficiency. High spark rate is usually
the result of excessive corona voltage.
It should be stressed that, given the available data on the reverb
precipitator, causes for the above mentioned problems are speculative in
nature. Only detailed testing and visual internal inspection could deter-
mine the actual causes. More information on the Kennecott reverb electro-
static precipitator can be obtained from an upcoming report for EPA by
Southern Research Institute.
Tables 3-5 and 3-6 provide additional information on the reverber-
atory furnace main stack tests. Table 3-5 is a summary of sampling times
by test and sample port. Table 3-6 is a summary of visual observations of
the color of samples.
3.2 ACID PLANT
Table 2-3 summarizes some general test conditions and various flue
gas parameters. Table 2-4 summarizes all emissions data and the isokinetic
percentages for the acid plant particulate compliance and sulfur oxides tests,
As indicated by the data, all three tests conducted on the acid plant efflu-
ent were within the ilO-percent isokinetic sampling guideline required by
EPA Method 5. As a result, no inaccuracies in emission data were introduced
by a failure to meet these guidelines.
Using data from the three valid tests, average emission values have
been calculated. They are:
Average emissions — acid plant
Particulate concentration — 0.028 gr/scfd
Particulate concentration — 4.0 x 10" Ib/ft
Particulate emission rate - 18.0 Ib/hour

The results in Table 2-4 for particulate emissions rates clearly show
the acid plant tail gas stack to be within the allowable particulate emission
rate of approximately 65 pounds/hour. There are no emissions regulations for
S02 and SO,/H2SO. from the acid plant.
A brief statistical analysis on particulate and S02 emission rates for
the three tests is presented in Table 3-7. A sample statistical calculation
for acid plant particulate emission rate is included in Appendix B.
A breakdown of particulate weights can be found in Table 3-8. Included
are residue weights for the front half acetone wash and for the filter.
The only anomaly in the acid plant emissions results is the SOp emis-
sion concentration during Test No. 3. The average value in Test No. 1 and
No. 2 is approximately 700 ppm while Test No. 3 increased to 1270 ppm. There
are two possible explanations for this. The first is the brief upset during
Test No. 3 of one of the acid plant blowers. Although we were able to shut
down the test very soon after the upset occurred, there probably were a few
minutes overlap between the testing time and the upset. What seems to be a
more likely cause for the high tail gas S02 is the low and very erratic S02
gas strength received at the acid plant. Referring to the charts in Appendix
C, the inlet S02 concentration for Tests No. 1 and 2 held relatively constant
at 6 and 8 percent while in Test No. 3 this value varied greatly between 1
and 6 percent. We suspect that drastic changes in S02 feed strength is a
cause of erratic acid production and variable and high S02 tail gas concentration,
Test No. 3 aside, the acid plant operation appeared to be representa-
tive of normal operation, as was the reactor and converter operation.

SECTION 4
EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION AND PREPARATION
4.1 METHODS 5 and 8 TRAIN
This section describes the major components of the Methods 5 and 8
train and the procedures used to prepare the components for calibration and
testing.
4.1.1 Nozzles
All sampling nozzles were constructed of 316 stainless steel and had
a sharpened edge. They were prepared for field use by thorough cleaning and
grinding any damaged edges to restore the specified diameter.
4.1.2 Probes
The sampling probe used on the acid plant was a 5-foot heated 316
stainless steel probe with a replaceable pyrex glass liner. The sampling
probe used on the reverberatory furnace stack was a 10-foot heated 316
stainless steel probe with a replaceable 316 stainless steel liner. In
addition, it has provisions for an instack filter holder (Gelman type —
47 mm). Figure 4-1 shows the instack filter holder assembly. The front
end of both probes are equipped with a thermocouple and an S-type pi tot
tube. The probes were prepared by thoroughly cleaning and inspecting the
liners for cracks, inspecting the pitot tube tips for damage, and electri-
cally checking the heaters and thermocouples.
4.1.3 Filter/Cyclone Ovens
Both ovens are equipped with an electric heating element and a thermo-
couple. The cyclone oven has a circulation fan and a rack for storage of
a filter housing. The ovens were prepared by checking out all electrical
components (heaters, thermocouples, fans). Heater controllers were checked
for their ability to maintain oven and probe temperatures of 250°F.
4-1
-------

-------
4.1.4 Umbilicals
A common umbilical line is used to make all electrical and pi tot tube
connections between the control module and the oven and probe. It was tested
in the system before use.
4.1.5 Pumps
A 10-cfm carbon vane vacuum pump is used in each system. The pumps
were leak checked at maximum vacuum before use.
4.1.6 Control Modules
The control module contains all of the instrumentation necessary to
measure the temperatures and flowrates in the sampling system. It it also
equipped with closed-loop temperature controllers for precise regulation of
the probe and oven heaters. All gauges and controls were checked for proper
operation before testing.
4.1.7 Impinger Train
A 1-cfm Greenburg-Smith glass impinger train was used for the EPA
Methods 5 and 8 sampling. The first two impingers were filled with 80-percent
isopropanol to absorb sulfuric acid mist. A glass fiber filter was placed
between the second and third impingers to capture any entrained mist. The
third and fourth impingers contained 3-percent hydrogen peroxide to absorb
sulfur dioxide. The fifth impinger was dry and the sixth impinger contained
silica gel to remove any remaining moisture. A thermocouple in the last im-
pinger was used to monitor outlet gas temperature.
4.1.8 Glass Fiber Filters
All glass fiber filters to be used for the stack test were obtained
from Schleicher and Schuell and fully meet EPA Method 5 specifications. The
filters were placed in an oven at 300°F for 3 hours, then placed into individ-
ual plastic petri dishes and put in a desiccator for conditioning over silica
gel for at least 24 hours. The filters were then taken to the balance room
and weighed to the nearest 0.01 milligram on a Mettler Model H20 analytical
balance. After weighing, each filter was returned to the plastic pertri
dish, which was sealed with masking tape and labeled with the filter number
and tare weight. This information was also recorded in the filter record book
4-R
-------
4.2 CALIBRATION PROCEDURES
After the sampling equipment was prepared and inspected, certain com-
ponents of the sampling trains were calibrated. The procedures used are pre-
sented in this section.
4.2.1 Nozzles
Nozzle size selection is a field operation and therefore so is nozzle
calibration. After the proper nozzles were selected, they were measured to
the nearest thousandth inch on three diameters. The average value was used
for calculation purposes.
4.2.2 Thermocouples and Digital Temperature Indicators
All thermocouples are connected to a digital temperature indicator on
the control module. The indicator has a specified accuracy of ±4°F over a
range from 0°F to 1500°F-
Each of the six thermocouples was calibrated in two ways. They are:
1. Comparison of the thermocouple readout to a 32°F ice bath
2. Comparison of each thermocouple to a Fluke Model 2100A digital
thermometer calibrated twice a year against an NBS traceable
standard
Comparison readings were made in a 250°F oven.
4.2.3 Dry Gas Meter and Orifice Meter
A Rockwell Model 415 gas meter (illustrated in Figure 4-2) is used to
simultaneously calibrate the dry gas meter and orifice meter in each control
module. This calibration standard is the same type of meter that is used in
the control module of each sampling train. The accuracy of the Rockwell
meter has been verified against a National Bureau of Standards traceable bell
prover maintained by the Pacific Gas & Electric Company. In addition, the
Rockwell meter never leaves Aerotherm's Source Evaluation Laboratory.
Calibration is accomplished by passing a known volume of gas through
the test and calibration meter at certain flowrates. Flowrates are indi-
cated by the orifice meter. A number of flowrates are tested in the useful
-------

-------
range of the orifice meter. The appropriate temperature, pressure, and vol-
ume data is recorded-and used to calculate calibration constants for the dry
gas meter and orifice meter in each control module.
At the completion of a calibration run, the final dry gas meter read-
ings and the final inlet and outlet dry gas meter temperatures were recorded.
The same procedure was reported at four different flowrates to calibrate the
orifice meter over its entire useful range. The data from these calibrations
were then used to calculate the calibration constants for the dry gas meter
and the orifice meter in each control module.
The formula used to calculate the calibration constant for the dry gas
meter is as follows:
VpPbar

a = calibration constant for dry gas meter in the control module
V . = total volume of gas passing through the dry gas meter in the
control module, ft3

An average calibration constant was determined for the dry gas meter and
orifice meter in each control module by averaging the individual test results.
The calibration data for each control module used during the field tests are
presented in Appendix D.
4.2.4 S-Type Pi tot Tube
All S-type pi tot tubes are calibrated in the Aerotherm wind tunnel
illustrated in Figure 4-3. A united sensor hemispherical nose standard pi tot
tube (Figure 4-4), with a 0.99 coefficient, is the calibration standard.
Velocity pressure from the S-type pi tot tube and standard pi tot tube is read
on a Dwyer inclined manometer shown in Figure 4-5. The S-type pi tot tube is
calibrated in the same configuration that it will be in during actual use -
that is, mounted on the probe with a nozzle and thermocouple. Comparison
readings are made over a wide range of velocities with both legs of the pitot
tube alternately measuring impact pressure.

The average coefficients for the upper and lower legs of the S-type tube
were calculated by averaging the individual coefficients of each calibration
run. These average values were recorded on the calibration data sheet.
Tables that summarize all the calibration data for the S-type pitot and sam-
pling probes that were used during the field test program can be found in
Appendix D.
4.2.5 Differential Pressure Gauges
Differential pressure gauges were connected to an orifice flow meter
and compared against the Dwyer inclined manometer discussed in Section 4.2.4.
The calibration procedure was repeated at several different flowrates. If
readings differed between the gauges and manometer, the gauge was adjusted
and the calibration was repeated until the readings agreed.
A Validyne differential pressure transducer was used in place of the
conventional pressure gauges on the reverberatory furnace main stack. Con-
ventional gauges are unable to sense velocities of approximately 5 fps. The
Validyne transducer was calibrated against an NBS traceable inclined mano-
meter. Calibration data is located in Appendix D.
4-17
-------
4.2.6 Isopropanol
It has been found that errors in acid mist values can be caused by
peroxide impurities in the isopropanol impinger solutions. To prevent this
error, Aerotherm analyzed the isopropyl alcohol prior to shipping it into
the field, in accordance with an EPA method, to determine if it contained
any peroxides. Ten mis of isopropyl alcohol were shaken with 10 mis of
freshly prepared 10-percent potassium iodide solution. A blank was prepared
by similarly treating 10 mis of distilled water, and the absorbance of each
solution was read at 362 nanometers. The absorbance of the solution was
less than 0.1, demonstrating that the alcohol was uncontaminated by peroxides.
Since the same isopropanol source was used for both test series, this quality
control check was run only before the first test series.
4.2.7 Mettler Analytical Balance
A Mettler Model H20 balance, which can be read to 0.01 mg, was used
to weigh the glass fiber filters and the chemicals used to prepare solutions.
This balance is checked twice a year by the Mettler Instrument Corporation
against National Bureau of Standard weights to insure its accuracy. Figure
4-6 illustrates the certificate issued by Mettler for the most recent calibra-
tion on the balance.
4.3 MOISTURE TRAIN
A separate train is necessary to measure moisture when Methods 5 and
8 are combined in a common train because the evaporation of isopropanol in
the Method 8 impinger train interferes with a volumetric measurement of water.
A standard heated probe with a pi tot tube was placed at a single point in
the stack. The gas was drawn through two water-fitted impingers, a dry im-
pinger and an impinger containing silica gel. A standard control module and
pump were used for monitoring and controlling flow. The sampling rate was
varied in proportion to changes in the stack gas velocity.
4.4 GAS SAMPLING TRAIN
A gas sample was drawn from a tee in the first impinger inlet of the
moisture train and fed to a 30-liter Tedlar bag. A separate pump, flow

SECTION 5
PROCEDURES
This section describes the procedures used for sampling, sample
recovery, and sample analysis at both test locations.
5.1 SAMPLING
5.1.1 Preliminary Measurements and Calculations
The test crew at each location - the acid plant and reverberatory
furnace —made preliminary stack measurements and obtained the following
information.
Acid Plant Reverb
Inside diameter (feet) 8.0 28.36
Nearest upstream disturbance (dia.) 1.6 6
Nearest downstream disturbance (dia.) 1.1 >2
The number of sample points and their location were determined from this
information using EPA Method 1 and are shown in Table 5-1. The crew at the
acid plant sampled 24 points in each of two ports, 90 degrees apart. The
main stack crew sampled six points in each of four ports, 90 degrees apart.
Figure 5-1 presents diagrams of the three major processes in the
smelter which generate gaseous and particulate pollutants. Off-gases from
the roaster and converters are vented to the acid plant after treatment by
various combinations of cyclones, scrubbers and electrostatic precipitators.
The December 15 and 16 tests were conducted on the acid plant tail gas stack,
Off-gases from the reverberatory furnace pass through a ballon flue and on
electrostatic precipitator before being emitted via the main stack -where
the August tests were conducted.

To further clarify the sampling locations, the following diagrams
and photographs have been included:

Figure 5-4 Main stacks ports A and B
Figure 5-5 Main stack ports C and D
As shown in Figure 5-1, point No. 6 on the reverberatory furnace stack
(main stack) could not be sampled. This was due to restrictions imposed
by the sample probe support system. It was decided to sample point No. 5
twice to compensate. A velocity profile of the reverberatory furnace tests
3, 4 and 5 shows that this had a negligible effect on the test outcome. It
can be seen in Figure 5-6 that from the trend of the velocity profile for
points 1 through 5, the actual velocity for point No. 6 would, in all
probability, be very close to that of point No. 5. If there is any effect
on the test outcome, it would show up as a very slight underestimate of gas
flowrate and mass emission rate.
A preliminary traverse was made to determine the velocity and tempera-
ture at the sample points (EPA Method 2), the stack gas molecular weight
(EPA Method 3), and the moisture content of the gas (EPA Method 4). These
measurements were made simultaneously with the moisture and gas sampling
trains.
A series of calculations was performed for each test location to de-
termine the following:
• Dry molecular weight (Md) of the stack gases using Equation (3-2)
of Appendix A to 40 CFR Part 60
• Wet molecular weight (Mg) of the stack gases using M = M.
" - Bwo> + 18
• Moisture content of the stack gases (B ) using Equations (4-1),
WO
(4-2), and (4-3) of Appendix A to 40 CFR Part 60
These terms (Md, MS> BWQ) are assumed to remain constant during a
given test run. Although variations in Md and M have an insignificant effect
on isokinetic sampling, variations in B will have a significant effect.

An examination of the following equation, used to calculate the flowrates re-
quired for isokinetic sampling, will illustrate this:
602n2N*K2C2(l - B )2PCM. T
AH = _
-------
• Measured values (M , M,, B , T , P ) determined during the pre-
s d wo m m
liminary measurements using Methods 3 and 4
• Calibration constants (C , K ) determined in the laboratory
t Measured values (P , T , AP) determined using Method 2
• Various values of nozzle diameter (Nd)
This calculation also determines the size of sampling nozzle needed
to sample isokinetically over the entire range of AP in a particular duct,
at a rate which will satisfy criteria of 60 scf total volume of gas sampled
in the 60 minutes available for sampling.
After a number of these calculations are completed, the equation is
reduced to the following form:
AH = K AP
where K is a numerical constant. Having determined K, the operator of the
control module prepares a table of values of AP versus AH for use during the
actual stack test. Then, during a test the operator reads the AP measured
by the S-type pi tot tube, finds the corresponding value of AH required for
isokinetic sampling from the table, and adjusts the sampling rate to provide
the required AH across the orifice meter.
Once the preliminary measurements and calculations have been completed,
the actual stack tests can be conducted. Sampling procedures used during the
actual test periods are described below.
5.1.2 Methods 5 and 8 Testing Procedures
The sampling train preparation was done in a clean laboratory provided
by Kennecott to minimize contamination during preparation and recovery.
The train was prepared by washing all components exposed to the sample
in Alconox and water, then rinsing with reagent grade acetone. The components
were allowed to air dry before changing and assembly. The impingers were
charged with measured volumes of reagent grade chemicals as described in
Section 4.1.7. The silica gel was weighed before charging. Chemicals were
prepared fresh dally to ensure complete absorption of gas species. The
Method 5 and Method 8 filter holders were charged with their respective pre-
5-15
-------
weighted filters. The impinger train was assembled with the Method 8 filter
holder between the second and third impingers, and the impinger train inlet
and outlet were sealed with parafilm. The ends of the nozzle, probe, Method
5 filter, and sample-bearing hoses and extensions were sealed with parafilm.
All test equipment was transported to the test site for final assembly and
checkout.
Preliminary checks and measurements were made as follows. While the
particulate sampling train was used in one sample port, the combined gas com-
position and moisture train was used in another sample port, so that measure-
ments were made simultaneously. The particulate sampling trains traversed
the stacks, while the gas composition and moisture trains remained at a fixed
sampling point.
In addition, the sampling crews leak checked the sampling trains be-
fore each test by fastening a blank swagelok to the end of the probe, drawing
a 15-inch Hg vacuum on the system, and recording the movement of the dry gas
meter needle for 1 minute. If the leak rate was greater than 0.02 cfm, the
source of the leak was found, corrected, and another leak check was performed.
The magnehelic gages and pressure transducer for AP and AH were then
zeroed and levelled and all data specified by EPA Methods 5 and 8 were recorded
on standard data sheets.
After the equipment was readied, the supervisor notified the crew
leader of the status of the process. Since EPA Region IX specified that all
tests must take place during the copper blow portion of the converter cycle,
the supervisor was stationed at the acid plant control room at the beginning
of each test to inform the crew leader of the start of copper blow. The test
crew leader then began sampling. Normally, the sampling train was started
within approximately 5 minutes after copper blow.
During the test, the supervisor toured the smelter to observe various
parts of the operation to insure that normal operating conditions prevailed.
He also observed the sampling practices of the test crew to insure the tests
were being conducted in accordance with Methods 5 and 8.
During each test, the sampling crew observed the following procedures:
• Allow the sampling train to heat up to 250°F
5-16
-------
• Position the pi tot tube and nozzle to face directly into the gas
streamline lines in the duct or stack
t Seal the sampling probe in the sample port
• Measure the AP at the sampling point, calculate AH required for
isokinetic sampling, and set this value on the orifice magnehelic
gage (proportional sampling was used for gas moisture)
• Record all the required data on the pertinent data sheet
• Maintain isokinetic conditions throughout the traverse
After a traverse was completed, the sampling train was moved to the
exit sample port. In the case of instack/outstack filter testing on the
reverb main stack, the instack 47-mm filter plugged rapidly and had to be
changed after each port was sampled. If the sampling train was disassembled
during the transfer, a leak check was made before starting the next traverse.
The procedure described above was repeated for all tests.
At the conclusion of a test, the sampling train was removed from the
duct or stack and was allowed to cool down. The impinger train was discon-
nected and purged for 10 minutes with ambient air to transfer any SCL re-
tained in the 80-percent IPA into the O- solution. When the components
were cool enough to handle, the sampling train was disassembled at the test
site. As soon as a component was removed, its inlet and outlet were sealed
by stretching parafilm over the openings to prevent contamination of the sam-
ple by fugitive dust at the sampling site or during transit to the lab. The
various components (nozzle, probe, filter holder, impinger train from Methods
5 and 8, and Tedlar bag and impinger train samples from Methods 3 and 4)
were then transported to the laboratory for sample recovery and analysis.
5.1.3 Methods 3 and 4 Testing Procedure
The composition and moisture content of the stack gases were measured
using the combined EPA Method 3 and 4 sampling train. The combined sampling
train, consists of a sampling nozzle, a 5-foot heated probe (300°F to 325°F)
with a stainless steel liner and an S-type pitot tube, a 142-mm filter holder
(unheated) attached to the end of the probe, and other components. Prior
to this test, a measured volume of distilled water and a known weight of
silica gel had been put into the impinger train in the laboratory. At the
5-17
-------
sampling site, the sampling train was assembled and the moisture portion of
the train was checked for leaks at 15 inches Hg vacuum by plugging the probe
inlet (using a blank swagelok) and the tee connection to the Tedlar bag.
The Tedlar bag was then leak checked separately, evacuated, and connected
to the tee in the impinger train.
To make a run, the sampling probe was positioned at a point of average
velocity, and appropriate data were recorded on data sheets. At the comple-
tion of the run, the equipment was disassembled and the impinger train,
Tedlar bag, and 142-mm filter holder were taken to the laboratory for sample
recovery.
5.2 SAMPLE RECOVERY, HANDLING, AND CHAIN OF CUSTODY
The following procedures were used to recover the samples from the
Methods 5 and 8 trains and the Methods 3 and 4 trains, process the samples,
and ship them to Aerotherm as necessary for chemical or gravimetric analysis.
5.2.1 Sample Recovery Procedures for Methods 5 and 8 Trains
Particulate matter was recovered from the sampling nozzle, sampling
probe, and filter holders of the Methods 5 and 8 sampling train. After
removing the parafilm cover from the inlet and outlet openings of the sampling
nozzle and probe, both components were rinsed with reagent grade acetone,
brushed with a nylon brush and rinsed again with acetone. This procedure
was repeated at least twice until the rinse solution appeared clean to the
naked eye. These acetone washings were put into a polyethylene bottle
labeled with the following information: date of test, the test number, the
type of sample, and the test location.
After particulate samples had been recovered from the sampling nozzle
and probe, the filter holder was opened with the inlet side facing upwards.
The 142-mm filter (47-mm instack filter) was then removed from the holder
with a pair of tweezers and returned to the original labelled petri dish
from which it had been taken. In some instances, fibers from the filter
adhering to the surface of the filter holder had to be scraped off with the
tweezers. In doing this, care was taken not to remove the teflon coating on
the filter holder. The petri dish containing the used 142-mm filter was
5-18
-------
sealed with tape and labelled a second time with the date of the test, the
test location, and the test number.
After the filter had been removed, the internal surfaces of the filter
holder were rinsed with reagent grade acetone and brushed with a nylon brush.
These acetone washings were added to the polyethylene bottle containing the
probe and nozzle washings. Washings of the nozzle, instack filter holder,
probe and the front half of the outstack filter holder were inadvertently
combined into one sample for reverb Tests No. 6 and No. 7. Sample bottle
caps were screwed on tightly and tape was wound around the cap to insure
that the bottle did not leak. Labelled sample bottles and petri dishes
were then set aside in numbered shipment boxes and the numbers recorded to
identify which samples were shipped in which boxes.
After recovering the particulate sample from the front half of the
sampling train, the test crew proceeded to recover the SO^/H?SO. and SO^
samples from the back half of the train. The contents of Impingers No. 1
and No. 2 were transferred to a polyethylene sample bottle. These impingers
were then thoroughly rinsed with an 80-percent IPA solution and the washings
put into the polyethylene bottle. The backup filter holder which contained
the 50-mm glass-fiber filter was disassembled and the filter added directly
to the polyethylene sample bottle. The front half of this glass filter holder
was then rinsed with 80-percent IPA solution and these washings also added
to the sample bottle. The top for this bottle was screwed on tightly and
tape was wound around the cap.
The same basic procedures were used to recover the H,^ sample solu-
tions in Impingers No. 3, No. 4, and No. 5. The solutions from Impingers
No. 3 and No. 4 were transferred to a labelled polyethylene sample bottle
along with any condensed liquid from Impinger No. 5. The back half of the
backup filter holder and the internal surfaces of Impingers No. 3, Mo. 4,
and No. 5 were then thoroughly washed with distilled water, and the washings
were added to the sample bottle. As before, the cap to the sample bottle
was screwed on tightly and taped. The date of the test, the test number,
the type of sample and the test location were all recorded on the label.
Both the IPA and H_0_ sample bottles were then set aside in a numbered ship-
ment box, and the information on the labels of these two bottles - as well
as the shipment box number — recorded.
5-19
-------
5.2.2 Sample Recovery Procedures for Methods 3 and 4 Trains
The integrated sample of the stack gas collected in the tedlar bag was
taken to the laboratory for analysis with the Orsat analyzer. The tedlar bag
was connected directly to the Orsat analyzer and the gases pumped into the
burette. The burette and the glass tubing of the Orsat were then purged
three times with the gases in the tedlar bag to condition the internal sur-
faces of the Orsat. A measured volume (100 ml) of the gases was then drawn
into the burette and sequentially passed through three fresh absorption
solutions which removed (XL, Q^, and CO in that order. Several passes were
made through each solution to insure quantitative capture of each gaseous
species. The results of this analysis were recorded on the appropriate field
data sheet, and the tedlar bags were pumped out and made ready for use on the
next test.
Since no chemical analysis of the moisture train samples was required,
recovery of the moisture from the combined Methods 3 and 4 sampling trains
took place in the field. At the completion of a test, the moisture sampling
train was disassembled. The flexible teflon hose which connected the probe
and filter to the impinger train (immersed in the ice bath) was then drained
into a labelled polyethylene sample bottle to insure that no condensed water
remained in the hose. Each of the impingers containing condensed water was
also emptied into the same sample bottle. The cap for the bottle was screwed
on tightly and the bottle was set aside for transportation to the lab. Sepa-
rate sample bottles - the same ones that were used to transport distilled
water and fresh silica gel to the sample site prior to the test -were used
to store the used distilled water and the spent silica gel.
After the sealed sample bottles had been transported to the labora-
tory, the volume of water in the first sample bottle was measured with a
graduated cylinder and recorded on the stack gas moisture data sheet. The
weight of the spent silica gel in the second sample bottle was measured on a
triple beam balance and also recorded on the data sheet. The water and
silica gel were then discarded. The sample bottles were cleaned out, dried,
and charged with measured amounts of distilled water and silica gel for the
next test.
5-20
-------
5.2.3 Sample Handling and Chain of Custody Procedures
After the samples had been recovered in the laboratory, they were
placed in sealed, labeled containers. Once a shipment box had been filled
with samples, it was sealed and labeled, then stored in a locked area (labor-
atory or motel room) until the end of the test series. The sample shipment
boxes were then shipped by truck to Aerotherm in Mountain View, California.
All sample shipments were received in good order by Aerotherm's
shipping and receiving department and transferred to the Source Evaluation
Laboratory. The samples were stored in this locked laboratory for chemical
analysis. When inspected by the analyst, none of the boxes appeared damaged
and all were still sealed. Examination of the contents of each box showed
that all sample bottles were still sealed with tape and were undamaged.
Throughout the analysis program, all samples were kept in their sample
containers and stored in the analytical balance room or the Source Evaluation
Laboratory. Both of these facilities are locked, and admittance is restricted
to authorized personnel.
Since the completion of the analysis program, all samples are now be-
ing stored in sealed sample containers in Aerotherm's Source Evaluation
Laboratory. These samples can be retained for evidence and analyzed at a
later date to determine their chemical composition. In addition, used filters
from the combined Methods 3 and 4 sampling trains are also being stored and
can be analyzed immediately, if desired, since they are not required for
evidence.
5.3 ANALYTICAL PROCEDURES
The following procedures were used to weigh the filters, dry and weigh
the acetone washings, and analyze the impinger solutions for sulfuric acid
and sulfur dioxide.
5.3.1 Particulate Weights
After the completion of each test, all the filters used in the combined
Methods 5 and 8 sampling trains were sealed in petri dishes for shipment to
Aerotherm. During this shipment, some of the particulate on the surface of
5-21
-------
the glass fiber filters was dislodged into the petri dish. To recover the
loose participate in the petri dish, the lid of the dish was first rinsed
with a small amount of distilled water to remove any particulate adhering
to the surface and then wiped dry. Next, the glass filter was removed from
the petri dish, and the dish rinsed with distilled water and wiped clean.
The washings from the petri dish were added to the polyethylene sample
bottle containing the acetone washings from the probe, nozzle, and filter
holder for that particular test.
After the loose particulate in the petri dish had been recovered, the
glass fiber filter was transferred to the bottom half of the petri dish.
The dish was then put into a desiccator containing silica gel and desiccated
for at least 24 hours. After desiccation was complete, the filter and petri
dish were transferred to a small, portable desiccator. They were then taken
to the balance room to be weighed on a Mettler Model H20 analytical balance
which had been levelled and zeroed. The 142-mm filter paper was removed from
the desiccator with tweezers and folded in half twice so that it would fit
on the balance pan.
The filters from the acid plant tests did not pick up moisture and
could be readily weighed. However, the filters from the reverb furnace
tests had collected some hygroscopic material and were gaining weight very
rapidly by absorbing water vapor from the air. As a result, no attempt was
made to determine the exact weight of the filters at that point. Instead,
an approximate weight was determined as rapidly as possible, and each filter
was returned to its petri dish and was desiccated for another 24 hours.
After being desiccated a second time, the filter was ready to be
weighed accurately. When the approximate weight of the filter had been set
on the balance, the filter was placed on the balance pan. The analyst
immediately started a stopwatch, and the weight of the filter was measured
and recorded 10 to 20 seconds after the filter was placed on the pan. As
each filter gained weight by absorbing water vapor, the analyst continued
to take readings until the filter reached equilibrium - up to 24 hours for
some filters.
After completing the weight versus time curve, the analyst returned
the filter to its petri dish, labelled the dish with a gross weight, and
5-22
-------
returned the sample to the Source Evaluation Lab for storage pending further
instructions from EPA Region IX.
The polyethylene sample bottle containing the acetone washings from
the sampling nozzle, the sampling probe, and the filter holder (including
the instack filter holder and front half of the outstack filter holder for
Tests 6 and 7 on the reverb) — as well as the distilled water washings from
the petri dish —was open and placed in the fume hood. The sliding window
of the hood was partially closed and the fume hood fan turned on to circulate
laboratory air through the hood. After the acetone in the sample bottle had
evaporated until approximately 5 ml of acetone remained in the bottle, the
slurry was transferred to a tared beaker (usually 10- to 30-ml beaker with a
small tare weight) and evaporated to dryness in the fume hood. Because of
the presence of water in the original sample (petri dish washings), many of
the samples did not evaporate to total dryness. In these cases, the beakers
were placed on a steam bath and evaporated to dryness.
After evaporation, each beaker was transferred to the desiccator for
24 hours. The tared beaker was then transferred to the portable desiccator
and taken to the balance room. Unlike the particulates on some of the glass
fiber filters, the residues were not hygroscopic and could be weighed directly.
After the weight of each sample was recorded in the filter record book, the
samples were stored in the Source Evaluation Laboratory pending further
instructions from EPA Region IX.
5.3.2 Impinger Solution Analysis
Before titrating the isopropanol solutions containing SCL/hLSO., cer-
tain standardizations were carried out in the laboratory. The analyst (Atkins)
used a 1 N NaOH Acculute Standard volumetric solution from Anachemia Chemicals
Limited to prepare a 0.01 N NaOH standardization solution by dilution with
deionized water. Several titrations using this NaOH standardization solution
were used to repeatedly standardize the analytical reagent grade 0.01 N H^SO.
from Baker Chemicals. After the sulfuric acid solution had been standardized
against the standard sodium hydroxide solution, the 0.01 N H^SO^ solution was
in turn used to standardize the barium perchlorate solution. As before, this
standardization check was done repeatedly and the average of several titra-
tions was used to calculate the average normality of the Ba(C10.L solution.
5-23
-------
As a further check on the accuracy of the standard NaOH solution, it
was standardized against a primary standard potassium acid phthalate solution
from Baker Chemicals. The KHCgH^ was dried in an oven at 105°C to 110°C
for 1 hour and then allowed to cool in a desiccator. An accurately weighed
amount was then added to a flask and dissolved in boiling deionized water.
The solution was allowed to cool to room temperature and phenolphthalein
indicator was added. When this primary standard solution was used to verify
the accuracy of the standard NaOH solution, the maximum deviation between the
two solutions was 0.0002.
The 50-ml buret used for all titrations was also calibrated. The buret
was filled with water and a measured volume of water was delivered into a
tared container. The container was then stoppered and weighed on the Mettler
balance. The ambient temperature was recorded to convert the mass of water
to volume, using data from Introductory Qualitative Chemistry by Olson, Koch,
and Pimental. Since the difference between the delivered volume and the cal-
culated volume was less than 1 percent in all cases, no correction factor for
the buret reading was necessary. The same procedure was used to calibrate
the pi pets used in the titrations. Again, no correction factors were re-
quired. After performing all these standardization and calibration checks,
the analyst was now prepared to perform the titrations of field samples.
After the sample bottles containing the isopropanol solutions were
shaken to make sure the solution was homogeneous, a measured aliquot (varying
from 1 ml to 100 ml) was transferred to a flask with a calibrated pi pet. Two
to four drops of thorin indicator were then added and the aliquot was titrated
with the standardized barium perchlorate solution to the pink end-point. In
addition, a blank (isopropanol and deionized water) of approximately the same
size aliquot was titrated in a similar manner. The following data was re-
corded in the analytical log book:
• The volume of barium perchlorate titrant used to titrate the aliquot
• The volume of barium perchlorate titrant used to titrate the blank
• The normality of the barium perchlorate titrant
5-24
-------
• The total solution volume of sulfuric acid (first two impingers
and filter)
• The volume of the aliquot titrated
Each aliquot was titrated twice.
After the sample bottles containing thehydrogen peroxide solutions
were shaken to make sure the solution was homogeneous, a measured aliquot
(varying from 1 ml to 25 ml) was transferred to a flask with a calibrated
pipet. A total of 100 ml of isoproponol and two to four drops of thorin
indicator were added to the aliquot, which was then titrated to a pink end-
point using the standardized barium perchlorate solution. The following
data were recorded in the analytical log book:
• The volume of barium perchlorate titrant used to titrate the aliquot
• The normality of the barium perchlorate titrant
• The total solution volume of sulfur dioxide (third and fourth
impingers)
• The volume of the aliquot titrated
These titration data were used to calculate the concentrations of SO-/
HpSO, and SOp in the various gas streams.
5.3.3 Orsat Analysis
All gas samples were analyzed in the field laboratory at Kennecott
with an Orsat gas analyzer. As required by EPA Method 3, each bag was sam-
pled until three consecutive analyses varied by no more than 0.2 percent for
each component analyzed (CO, CO).

APPENDIX A
DAILY ACTIVITIES REPORT
Day No. 1. August 2. 1976
1. Left Tucson and drove to Hayden, Arizona. Arrived at Kennocott
Copper Smelter at 9:40 a.m. Crew met with Messrs. Matheson,
Fitch, Mortimer to discuss the tests.
2. Kennecott indicated that no testing could be done at the acid
plant since the additional platform required to test the second
sampling port had not been installed on the stack.
3. Safety rules were reviewed and discussions were held with Stuart
Nebuker regarding reverb furnace operations and process data
collection.
4. Kennecott personnel were experiencing some operating problems
at the reverb and it was scheduled to be down on 8/3/76 and possi
bly on A-shift of 8/4/76. Steiner, Sutton (process observed for
Aerotherm) and Fitch (Kennecott Environmental Department) went
on a tour of the various control rooms while the remainder of
the test crew unloaded the sampling equipment.
5. Control rooms visited - Reactor (Roaster), Reverb, Reverb ESP
Electronics, Converter Aisle, and Acid Plant.
6. Lloyd Kostow of EPA Region IX arrived at 12:20 p.m.; crew ate
lunch and began preparations for making preliminary measurements
(velocity and temperature traverses, stack gas composition and
moisture content) of reverb furnace stack gases. Kostow, Sutton
and Kearney (Kennecott Environmental Department) went through
the process again to make a list of the process parameters to
be recorded during the stack testing period.
"
-------
7. Tare weight of bottle for silica gel was 63.6 gm and the weight
of the bottle plus silica gel was 283.9 gm.
8. At 5:30 p.m., the crew arrived at the sampling platform on the
reverb furnace stack to start the preliminary measurements.
The stack circumference was measured with a rope and was 98.5 ft.
Sampling ports were labelled A, B, C, and D starting at the
elevator and going clockwise. The distance from the sampling
platform to the top of the breeching entering the base of the
stack was 169 ft. as measured by a weighted rope.
9. The following stack wall thickness measurements were made:
A-port: 21.5 inches including pipe nipple
18 inches not including pipe nipple
D-port: 26 inches including pipe nipple
18.6 inches not including pipe nipple
C-port: 23.5 inches including pipe nipple
18 inches not including pipe nipple
B-port: not measured
Since the inside brick work had broken away during the installation of the
sampling ports, the exact wall thickness was difficult to determine. The
measurement made at A-port was deemed to be more reliable and a value of 18
inches was used for wall thickness.
10. The outside radius of the stack was calculated to be 15.68 feet;
the inside radius was calculated to be 14.18 feet; the sampling
ports were 6 diameters downstream of the breeching and much greater
than 2 diameters from the stack exit.
11. The sampling point locations were marked on the probe. Since the
sampling probe was 10 feet long (unirails at Kennecott could not
support a longer probe), the inner most sampling Point (No. 6)
could not be reached which necessitated sampling Point No. 5
twi ce.

13. After completing the preliminary measurements the crew returned
to the Kennecott Laboratory with the stack gas composition bag
sample and the moisture train sample. These samples would be
analyzed the following day since the smelter was going to be down.
A-5
-------
Day No. 2, August 3. 1976
1. No testing was conducted on this day since the smelter was down
for repairs.
2. Kostow and Steiner travelled to Inspiration Copper in Inspiration,
Arizona to review their plans for conducting compliance tests.
3. Returned to Kennecott Laboratory by 2:15 p.m. to analyze the
samples collected the previous day. The following results
were obtained:
H?0 condensed = 60 ml
H20 silica gel = 17-1 gm
Moisture content = 7.09 percent by volume
co2 o2 co
4 percent 12.3 percent 0.8 percent
3.5 percent 13.4 percent 0.3 percent
4.2 percent 13.5 percent 0.4 percent
4. The solutions were changed in the Orsat analyzer to insure fresh
chemicals were used for subsequent gas analyses.
Day No. 3, August 4. 1976
1. No testing was conducted on this day since the smelter was still
down for repairs.
2. The preliminary measurement data was used to calculate appropri-
ate sampling nozzle sizes and sampling rates.
3. Part of the sampling crew drove to Phoenix to purchase additional
acetone.
Day No. 4, August 5, 1976
1. Arrived at Kennecott at 7:01 a.m. and photographed dust plume
leaving the roof monitor of the building housing the reactor,
reverb and converters.
A-6
-------
2. Test crew made up fresh chemicals for use in the tests to be
conducted; barometric pressure was 27.87 inch Hg; 4 sets of
glassware were made to minimize trips between the stack and
the lab.
3. Started Test No. 1 at 9:50 a.m. after successful leak check
(0.05 cfm at 18 inch Hg) Sampling stared in Port B at Point No. 5
and the velocity was high, unstable and difficult to read. Point
No. 5 and Point No. 6 were treated as the same point.
4. Impinger outlet temperatures could only be read at Points No. 4
and 5 because the thermocouple lead wire was too short.
5. Stack temperature profile was uniform across the stack and sam-
pling port changes between traverses took ~30 minutes.
6. The following process observations were made during B-traverse:
Reactor Start 83661.4
Finish 836631.2
Difference 19.8
10:00 a.m. to 10:15 a.m. — reactor down due to
underflow
Reverb Gas flow = 21
Air flow = 17
Acid Plant S02 inlet = 7.9 percent
Converters = 2 and 4 online
Reactor and converters 2 and 4 were online until 10 minutes
before the end of the traverse and then went offline.
7. A decision was made to change control modules for the next traverse
because of the difficulty experienced in controlling oven temperature.
8. The sampling equipment was transferred to sampling Port A and a
leak check of 0.002 cfm at 17 inches Hg was obtained. Velocity
was lower and much more stable on this traverse.
A-7

9. After completing the traverse, the impinger train was purged (10
minutes) and replaced with another fresh impinger train.
10. The following process observations were made during A-traverse:
Reactor
Reverb Missed tonnage but everything running smoothly.
Acid Plant
11. Moved sampling equipment to Port D and got a satisfactory leak
check. Velocity seemed low during entire traverse.
12. At the beginning of sampling Point No. 2, an electrical short
developed in the pump power cord: the sampling was stopped
momentarily while the circuit breaker in the control console
was reset and the short was repaired with tape.
13. The following process observations were made during D-traverse:
Reactor Start 836743.7
Finish 836779.0
Difference 35.3 (~70 percent of design rate)
Reactor log numbers (rate) taken on an hourly
basis were steady all morning
Reverb Gas flow = 21
Airflow = 17
Stack gas temperatures are higher than those
measured during preliminary measurements; visi-
ble emissions from reverb stack due to poor com-
bustion conditions
Acid Plant S0« inlet = 5 percent
Converters = No. 4 online
14. Moved sampling equipment to Port C and got an acceptable leak
check. Stack gas temperature was uniform at ~300°F. The veloc-
ity was high in the center and decreased smoothly at the wall.

16. At 2:05 p.m. received a call from the reverb furnace control room
indicating that opacity should improve because combustion conditions
were changed in the reverb furnace.
17. Started Test No. 2 in Port C at 4:36 p.m. after a perfect leak check
at 20 inches Hg. Static pressure in stack was -1.3 inch H~0. The
velocity was high and too much silica gel in the impinger train
caused a high pressure drop; pump vacuum was 24 inches Hg and
sampling may not be isokinetic.

replaced; got a perfect leak check at 16 inches Hg. Pump vacuum
again climbed to 24 inches Hg so it was difficult to maintain
isokinetic; at 5:05 p.m. fugitive emissions from the roof monitor
were constant and a gas leak developed at the acid plant.

21. At the completion of the traverse, the impinger train was purged
(10 minues) and replaced with another impinger train. Moved
sampling equipment to Port A and got a good leak check at 20 inches.
Pump vacuum still at 23 inches Hg so sampling was probably not
isokinetic.

23. Moved sampling equipment to Port B and got a good leak check at
27 inches Hg. At 6:42 p.m., fugitive emissions from roof monitor
and acid plant were photographed by Fitch (Kennecott). At 7:45 p.m.
the continuous velocity monitor (Haystings-Raydist) was not giving
the same readings as our pi tot-tube and pressure transducer. Prob-
lem was traced to a defective umbilical cord which was kinked and
gave higher than actual velocity readings during the entire test.
A new umbilical cord was substituted and both the continuous
velocity monitor and our pi tot-tube/pressure transducer now gave
identical velocity readings. Purged impinger train for 10 minutes
and returned to the laboratory for sample recovery.

A rearrangement of assignments occurred to accommodate the in-
stack filter tests. Steiner left Hayden to witness particulate
testing at Inspiration Copper in Inspiration, Arizona. Sutton
relinquished his process observer duties to Lloyd Kostow of EPA
Region IX and replaced Steiner in the test crew.
Upon arriving at the plant, the test crew prepared four sets of
impingers, two 142-mm filter holders and four 47-mm instack
filter holders.
Operational difficulties were encountered with the elevator
servicing the sampling platform which caused delays.
The S-type pitot tube extensions were put on the sampling probe
to accommodate the instack 47-mm filter holder and the sampling
points were remarked on the probe.
Even with the pitot tube extensions on the probe, Point No. 6
could not be sampled. Test No. 6 began in Port C after a good
leak check at 1:25 p.m. Points No. 5 and 6 were considered one
point again.
Moved equipment to Port D and changed the instack 47-mm filter;
leak check was acceptable; stack temperature increased to ~312°F
during this traverse; the impinger train was disconnected and
purged after this traverse was complete; a new impinger train
was connected to the sampling train.
Moved equipment to Port A, changed the instack filter and got
an acceptable leak check; it started to rain and a slight drop in
stack temperature was noted (~303°F now).
Moved equipment to Port B, changed the instack filter and got a

Day No. 8, August 11, 1977
1. Test crew went to the lab and prepared four impinger trains, four
47-mm instack filter holders and two 142-mm filter holders.
2. Upon arriving at the sampling platform, the crew cleaned the sam-
pling probe from Test No. 6 and sent the flexible hose to the lab
for cleaning.
3. Test No. 7 was started in Port C after a successful leak check
at 10:45 a.m.; stack gas temperature had decreased to ~283°F.
4. Moved equipment to Port D, changed instack filter and got a valid
leak check; after completion of traverse, the impinger train was
disconnected, purged for 10 minutes, and replaced with a new train.
5. Moved the equipment to Port A, changed instack filter and got a
good leak check; no change noted in stack gas temperature or
velocity from previous traverse.
6. Moved equipment to Port B, changed instack filter and got a good
leak check: stack gas temperature decreased to ~255°F. After

completion of the traverse, the impinger train was purged and the
probe was cleaned out; the components were taken to the laboratory
for sample recovery.
7. The following abservations were made recovering samples for Test
No. 7.

Day No. 9. August 12. 1976
1. The test crew packed up the sampling equipment and samples and
drove to Phoenix. The equipment was put on the loading dock at
Hughes Airwest Air Cargo terminal for shipment to San Jose. The
collected samples were picked up by ONC for truck shipment to
Mountain View. The crew flew home.
Day No. 1. December 14. 1976
1. The test crew, consisting of R. Larkin, C. Stanley, and E. Rice,
is accompanied to the plant by Ms. Linda Wunder-Freet of EPA
Region IX. Arrival time is 0800.
2. Since the test equipment was already setup from previous testing
for EPA-OAQPS, all that had to be done was charging of the
impinger train and laoding of the filter.
3. While the test equipment was being readied, R. Larkin checked the
plant for steady-state acid plant operation and the converter's
copper blow schedule.
4. SO,, concentrations existing from the tail gas stack were found
to be approximately 1300 ppm - well over the value representative
of normal operation. The problem was caused by blower malfunctions.
However, the major delay was caused by the copper blow schedule.
The next blow was not scheduled until between 1900 and 2000. It
was decided not to test today.
5. For the remainder of the day, samples and equipment from the pre-
vious week's testing were packed for shipment. In addition,
Clint Fitch, Kenncott's Control Supervisor gave the test crew
and the Region IX representative a plant tour.
Day No. 2. December 15. 1976
1. Test crew arrives at the plant at 0800.
2. A copper blow is in progress and the acid plant is under steady-
state operating conditions - so the first test started at 0919.
A-26
-------
3. The test proceeded with no upsets and was completed at 1150.
Equipment was returned to the laboratory for sample recovery.
4. The following observations were made regarding the appearance
of the samples from Test No. 1:
• All washes and impinger solutions were clear
• The filter had a light off-white tinge and no visible particulate
5. The gas sample in the Tedlar bag was analyzed on an Orsat appara-
tus and gave these results:
02 - 8.3 percent
S02 -0.2 percent
CO - 0.0 percent
6. The next copper blow was scheduled for 2000 hours to the crew
returned to the motel at 1400 after recharging the train for
the next test.
7. We returned to the plant at 1900 and transported the sampling
train to the test location. Copper blow had started and the
acid plant was operating normally, so Test No. 2 started at 2015.
8. There were no problems during Test No. 2 and upon completion at
2318 the equipment was returned to the lab for sample recovery.
9. We left the plant at approximately 0100 — December 16, 1976.
Day No. 3, December 16. 1976
1. The test crew arrived at the plant at 0930. By 1030 copper blow
had started and the acid plant was operating normally so Test
No. 3 started at 1048.
2. At 1104 the test was stopped for 13 minutes due to an interruption
in the copper blow. During this time, the train was purged with
the gas meter reading changing from 968.884 to 969.404. Copper
blow and the test continued at 1117.
3. The test was completed at 1335 with no further interruption.
The appropriate equipment was returned to the laboratory for
A-27
-------
sample recovery while the remainder was packed in the shipping
crate.
4. By 1900 all equipment and samples had been apcked for shipment.
We left the plant at 1930 and flew home the following day.

The mean (x) for a set of N numbers, x, , is given by:
. (E x.)
X= -N—
x = (27.0 + 15.4 + 11.7J/3 = 18.0
The standard deviation (a) for this set of numbers is given by:

a = J131.1/3 - 1 = 8.1
X = (Zx-j2) - N(x)2
where = (272 + 15.42 + 11.22) - 3(18.O)2

The 90% confidence interval (CI) is approximated by:
CI = T(a/-y/¥)

= 1.645 + 2.605 (3 - 1) - 1.186] (8.!/>/!) = 13.0
where

For the 90% CI; q = 1.645, C2 = 2.605, c3 = -1.186
The lower confidence limit (LCL) is given by:
LCL = x - CI

The upper confidence limit (UCL) is given by:
UCL = x + CI

Dear Mr. Larkin:
In your letter of March 21, 1977, you requested certain information
regarding process feed rates. In my initial reply dated March 28, 1977, I
addressed the problem of smelter feed rate as it applies to the allowable
emissions rate calculations.
Following is the best available information in reply to your other
queries using your item numbering system 2 through 5-
Item 2 - The August 3, 1976 entry on your enclosure 1 does show
207 dry tons charged. That was an error which occurred as a result of weight-
ometer location and feed accounting problems. Actually, there was no feed to
the fluo-solids roaster, but there was 207 tons of concentrate fed to the reactor
feed bin preparatory to startup.
Item 3 - Again, the total feed to the smelter should be used for the
allowable particulate emissions formula. Following is a breakdown of the total
feed to the smelter for the periods in question:

WEIGHT VERSUS TIME CURVE FOR GLASS FIBER FILTER
The particulate matter caught on the glass fiber filters on the rever-
beratory furnace main stack was very hygroscopic in nature and could not be
weighed directly. Instead a weight versus time curve was prepared for each
filter. Basically, two curves were prepared for each filter -one curve
illustrating the change in weight during the initial few minutes of exposure
to ambient conditions inside the analytical balance's weighing chamber, and
a second curve illustrating the long term changes in weight. Figures B-l
and B-2 illustrate two typical curves.
Examining the data in Figure B-l, it can be seen that as soon as the
filter is exposed to the ambient air, its weight starts to change very rapidly
due to adsorption of water vapor onto the surface of the hygroscopic particulate
matter. It took -10 to 20 seconds for the analyst to adjust the dials on the
balance to get the first weight reading. Several more readings were taken over
the next few minutes to accurately plot the shape of the curve so that it could
be extrapolated to zero time which presumably is the true weight of the filter
and particulate without the presence of any uncombined water. Several more
readings were then taken over an extended period of time to determine the
equilibrium weight which the filter eventually reached. From Figure B-2, it
can be seen that it took -6 to 8 hours for the filter weight to level off at
an equilibrium value.
It is important to note that the definition of particulate matter does
not include uncombined water and hence, the extrapolated weight is considered
the true weight and used in the emission rate calculations.

In August and December 1976 at the request of EPA, Region IX, Envorcement
Division, the Aerotherm Division of the Acurex Corporation conducted a series of air
pollutant mass emissions tests at the Ray Mines Division copper smelter of the Kennecott
Copper Corporation located in Hayden, Arizona. The tests were conducted at the rever-
beratory furnace stack in August 1976 and at the sulfuric acid plant stack in December
1976. Tests for particulate matter (Method 5), sulfur dioxide and sulfuric acid
(Method 8) were conducted at each location using a combined sampling train. In addi-
tion two tests for "condensable particulate matter were conducted at the reverberatory
furnace stack using the combined Method 5 and 8 sampling train with an instack filter
added.
