INTRODUCTION
Fugitive dust emissions from copper smelting operations are a significant
source of airborne particulates. These particulates also contain varying
concentrations of arsenic which may pose a public health hazard. The fugitive
emissions of dust from operating equipment are controlled by placing hoods
over the equipment and ducting the emissions to a control device. From
January 17 to 27, 1978 TRW personnel tested fugitive emissions from several
copper smelting processes at the Asarco copper smelter in El Paso, Texas. These
tests were performed to provide data to the EPA for the establishment of
fugitive emissions standards for copper smelting.
The testing consisted of isokinetic sampling of emissions from the converter
building, matte tapping, and calcining processes to determine particulate,
arsenic, and sulfur dioxide emissions. The testing of converter building
fugitive emissions was done simultaneously at the inlet and outlet of a baghouse
in order to determine the efficiency of this device. Two particulate samples
and an SOp sample were taken at the outlet from a spray chamber and electrostatic
precipitator to determine the amount of uncontrolled emissions from this process.
TRW personnel also performed particle sizing tests with a Brinks impactor at the
inlet and outlet from the converter building fugitive emissions baghouse and on the
fugitive emissions from the calcining process.
This report presents the results of the testing program. The following sec-
tions of the report contain a summary of the results, descriptions of the sampling
points, a description of the processes, delineation of sampling and analytical
procedures, and appendices containing field and laboratory data and calculations.

SUMMARY & DISCUSSION OF RESULTS
The results of the emission testing at the five test locations are
summarized in this section of the report. Three sets of tests were performed
at the inlet and outlet of the converter building fugitive emissions baghouse
and calcining fugitive emissions duct. These tests included three tests each
for particulate/S02 (Tables 1,2, and 3), three tests each for arsenic/trace
elements (Tables 4, 5 and 6), and several tests each for particle sizing
(Table 9). Testing at the matte tapping fugitive emissions duct included
particulate/S02 (Table 7), arsenic/trace elements (Table 8). Testing at the
outlet from the roaster/reverb spray chamber and electrostatic precipitator
included particulates (Table 10) and SO,, (Table 11). In addition, analyses
were performed on composited process samples taken by plant personnel on the
days that the fugitive emission testing was being performed. This data is
summarized in Table 12 & 13.
The particulate sampling of the converter building fugitive emissions
baghouse showed efficiency for the equipment of up to 99%. The average ef-
ficiency for the three tests was 88%, based on the grain loading of collected
particulates in and out of the unit. The efficiency of the unit for arsenic
removal based on arsenic analysis of-collected particulates averaged 96% for
the three tests. Particle sizing tests showed an approximately equal proportion
of particles in the 1-5 micron range on the inlet and outlet, but the outlet
had less particles in the greater than 5 micron range, and a higher percentage
of particles in the less than one micron range.
Sulfur dioxide tests on the converter building fugitive emissions show an
average concentration of 64 parts per million. Sulfur dioxide emissions are
quite variable on this source with maximum emissions occurring when the con-
verters are being charged. Since the inlet and outlet tests were not exactly
simultaneous, they reflect this fluctuation in sulfur dioxide concentration.
Particulate tests on the calcine fugitive duct showed an average concentra-
tion of .218 grains per standard cubic foot. The great majority of these were in-
organic condensables (0.187 grains per standard cubic feet). Particle sizing
tests showed that the particles were primarily greater than 5 microns (85%).
-------
Sulfur dioxide emissions were highly variable, averaging 67 parts per million.
The arsenic concentration averaged 2.5 parts per million.
Particulate testing at the matte tapping fugitive emissions duct showed
generally lower particulate concentrations than at the two other locations.
The average particulate concentration was 0.097 grains per standard cubic foot.
The sulfur dioxide concentration averaged 110 parts per million. The arsenic
concentration averaged 1.7 parts per million.
Particulate testing of the balloon flue showed an average particulate con-
centration of 0.091 grains per standard cubic foot. The sulfur dioxide of the
gas stream was 5098 parts per million.

LOCATION OF SAMPLING POINTS
1) Inlet to the Converter Building Fugitive Emissions Baghouse
Samples from the inlet to the converter building fugitive baghouse were
taken from a 152" diameter horizontal duct which is 50 feet above the
ground. Sampling ports on the top and side of the duct allowed for vertical
and horizontal traverses of the duct during sampling. The nearest upstream
flow disturbance was a bend 90 feet (7 diameters) away from the sampling
point. The nearest downstream disturbance was a bend 100 feet (8 diameters)
downstream. Forty traverse points were chosen so that the sampling period
would coincide with that at the outlet from the baghouse. Figure 1 is a
diagram of the sampling location.
2) Outlet from the Converter Building Fugitive Emissions Baghouse
Samples from the outlet of the converter building fugitive baghouse were
taken from a 20' by 9' rectangular duct. The duct was horizontal and
the sampling point was 35 feet above the ground. The nearest upstream flow
disturbance was 45 feet (3.5 equivalent diameters) away. The nearest down-
stream disturbance was 12.5 feet (1 equivalent duct diameter) away. Ten
traverse points were selected at each of the four sampling ports. Figure 2
is a diagram of this location.
3) Roaster Calcining Fugitive Emissions Duct
The roaster calcining fugitive emissions were sampled from a 28.5 inch'
diameter circular duct which was 15 feet above the ground and at a 10 degree
angle to the horizontal. The nearest upstream flow disturbance was 75 feet
away (32 diameters); the nearest downstream disturbance was 8 feet away
(3.5 diameters). Twenty traverse points were selected for sampling, ten on
each of the two traverses. Figure 3 is a diagram of this sampling location.
4) Outlet from the Roaster/Reverberatory Furnace Electrostatic PrecipUator
The duct exiting the roaster/reverberatory furnace electrostatic precipltator
is a balloon shaped duct twenty-two feet high and twelve feet wide at the
-2Q-
-------
top. The nearest upstream disturbance was 50 feet ( 4 diameters) away;
the nearest downstream disturbance was 20 feet ( 1.5 diameters) away.
Sampling was done at 50 traverse points. Figure 4 is the plan view diagram
of this sampling location. Figure § illgstrates the cross-sectioned view.
5) Matte Tapping Reverbatory Furnace Outlet
The fugitive emissions from the matte tapping reverbatory furnace were
sampled from a 32.75" diameter horizontal round duct. The nearest upstream
disturbance was 20 fe"et (6 diameters) away; the nearest downstream
disturbance was 12 feet (4 diameters) away. Sampling was done at 24 traverse
points on two traverses. Figure 6 is a diagram of this sampling location.

SAMPLING AND ANALYTICAL PROCEDURE
A) Particulate Sampling
Particulate sampling was performed according.to EPA Method 5, as revised
in the Federal Register, Volume 42, Number 160, Thursday, August 18, 1977.
Figure 7 is a diagram of the sampling train used for the particulate tests.
Before each test a velocity traverse of the stack was done to determine
the average stack temperature and velocity pressure. The velocity traverse
was done according to EPA Methods T and 2. A grab sample of the stack gas was
taken and analyzed with a Fryrite apparatus for COp. Before the first test at
each location the moisture content of the gas stream was estimated by either
condensation in impingers as in EPA Method 4, or by wet and dry bulb thermometer
if the stack gas temperature was below 120°F.
The particulate samples were taken at traverse points at the center of equal
areas within the stack. The number of traverse points was determined by the
number of duct diameters upstream and downstream from the nearest flow disturbances.
The sampling rate was adjusted to isokinetic conditions using a nomograph which
had been set based on the preliminary velocity traverse data, and moisture estimate.
The sampling time per traverse point varied at different sampling locations
depending upon the particulate concentration in the gas stream at each location.
The sampling times varied from 3 minutes to 5 minutes per traverse point.
Leak checks of the sampling train were done at the beginning of each test,
just before the sampling port change, and at the end of the test. At the end of
each test the sampling train was inspected for cracked or broken glassware,
and to assure that the filter remained intact.
Sample Recovery
After completing the particulate test the sampling probe was removed from
the sampling train, the nozzle wiped off, and the probe rinsed into a clean
sample container with acetone, using a nylon brush with a teflon handle to
scrub particulates out of the probe. The filter holder of the sampling train was
then capped and the filter holder and impingers were removed to the mobile
laboratory for sample recovery.

-------
The collected particulate sample was recovered and placed in four containers.
The participate filter was folded and placed in a polyethylene jar and the jar
was labeled and sealed. The acetone rinse of the nozzle, probe liner, and front
half of the filter was placed in a 250ml glass jar with teflon lined lid, labeled
and sealed. The impinger solutions were measured, and placed in a glass jar
along with a water rinse of the impingers. The front half of the filter holder,
first three impingers, and connecting glassware were rinsed with acetone; this
rinse was placed in a glass jar with a teflon lid liner, sealed, and labeled.
Analysis
The front half acetone rinse and back half acetone rinse were placed in
tared glass beakers and evaporated. The impinger solutions and water rinse
was extracted with ether and chloroform, and the fractions placed in separate
tared beakers and evaporated. Aqueous fractions were dried on a steam bath. The
filter and tared beakers were then placed in a dessicator until they reached a
constant weight and weighed to a tenth of a milligram.
B) Particu1ate/Sulfur Pioxide Sampling
Most of the particulate tests were done concurrently with sulfur dioxide
sampling. This was accomplished by setting up the sampling train in the same
configuration as for Method 5 particul ate sampling, but replacing the water in
the first two impingers with 3% hydrogen peroxide. Sulfur dioxide in the sampled
gas was oxidized to SO-" in these first two impingers.
Analysis
The samples were analyzed for sulfur dioxide by taking an aliquot of the
hydrogen peroxide impinger solutions and titrating with barium perchlorate
solution and thorin indicator as described in EPA Method 6 (Determination of
Sulfur Dioxide Emissions from Stationary Sources). The remainder of the impinger
solution was then analyzed for organic and inorganic fractions as described in the
section on particulate sample analysis (Section A). An aliquot factor was used
-30-
-------
to account for the aliquot withheld for SCL analysis. The amount of SC^
determined to be in the sample by Barium-Thorin titration was subtracted
from the amount of inorganic condensables determined gravimetrically.
C) Arsenic Sampling
The sampling train used for arsenic collection was an EPA Method 5
sampling train modified by adding three 'additional impingers in series to the
four used in the Method 5 train. The first two impingers contained 150 milliliters
of distilled water, the third was empty and the fourth, fifth and sixth
contained 200 milliliters of 10% hydrogen peroxide. The seventh impinc/IN
•contained 200 grams of silica gel.
"^
The sampling procedure was identical with that used in Method 5 particulate
sampling. The sampling was done isokinetically at the centers of equal areas
within the duct, sampling for the same amount of time at each point.
Sample Recovery
The sampling nozzle and probe liner were rinsed with 0.1N NaOH and
brushed out with a nylon bristle brush with a teflon tubing handle. The re-
mainder of the sampling train was removed to the mobile laboratory. The front
half of the filter and connecting glassware were rinsed with 0.1N NaOH and this
rinse was added to the nozzle and probe rinse. The filter was removed from the
filter holder and placed in a polyethylene container, which was labeled and
sealed. The first two impinger solutions were measured and placed in a glass
sample container along with a 0.1N NaOH rinse of the impingers. The contents of
the fourth, fifth and sixth impingers were measured and placed in a separate
glass sample container along with a 0.1N NaOH rinse of the impingers. The
third impinger was rinsed with 0.1N NaOH and placed in a separate glass sample
container. The silica gel in the seventh impinger was weighed to the nearest
gram, and regenerated.

Analysis
1. Filter - warm filter and loose participate matter with 50ml 0.1N NaOH
for about 15 minutes. Add 10ml concentrated HN03 and bring to boil for 15
minutes. Filter solution through no. 41 Whatman paper and wash with hot water.
.Evaporate filtrate, cool, redissolve in 5ml of 1:1 HNO-, transfer to a 50ml
volumetric flask and dilute.
2. Probe wash and impinger solns. These should be combined and a 200ml
sample withdrawn. Add 10ml concentrated HN03 and evaporate to a few milliliters.
Redissolve with 5ml 1:1 HN03 and dilute to 50mls. A reagent blank should be
carried through the same procedure. The resulting blank solution should be used
in the dilution of standards to matrix match samples and standards.
3. All the samples prepared above should be screened by air/acetylene
flame. The filter samples may require dilution with 0.8N HN03< Impinger solu-
tions containing more than 25 mg/1 of arsenic should be diluted since linearity
decreases dramatically above that level.
Since an entrained hydrogen flame provides about five times as much sensitivity
as the air/acetylene flame, a matrix check of a sample in a hydrogen flame should
be carried out by the method of standard additions, and compared with a value
obtained from matrix matched standards in a hydrogen flame. If values are
comparable (- 5%) the air entrained hydrogen flame may be used.
Due to high concentrations of copper on the filter an air/acetylene flame
should always be used to dissociate any AsCu compounds stable in the cooler
hydrogen flame.
4. For samples below the lmg/1 level, hydride generation is necessary.
An appropriate aliquot of digested sample in 0.8N HNO- containing less than
O
about lOug of arsenic is chosen (some screening may be necessary). Five mis
of concentrated H2S04 is added to the sample which is then placed on a hot
plate until S03 fumes fill the flask. A reduction in volume to about 5ml or
less may be necessary. This step removes HN03 which causes a violent reac-
tion when the reducing agent is added resulting in poor reproducibility and
lowered sensitivity by producing I2, N02 and possibly other species.
-32-
-------
One ml of 30% KI and 1ml of 30% SnCl2 are added to the sample, the former
to act as a catalyst in hydride formation and the latter to reduce all the
+3
arsenic to As . The sample is then diluted to about 15ml and 15ml of concen^
trated HC1 is added. Powdered Zn Cor NaBH^} is then added, the reaction vessel
is immediately closed and the nitrogen or argon carrier fflow initiated. A peak
should be produced within a few seconds.

Particle Sizing
The size distribution of the participates was estimated with a Brinks six ,
stage impactor. Figure 8 is a diagram of the Brinks impactor sampling system
used.
Sampling Procedure
The Brinks impactor was introduced into the gas stream through the sampling
port with the nozzle facing the flow of gas. The sampling pump was turned on
and the pressure drop across the impactor adjusted with the bypass valve. The
pressure drop across the impactor was read from the mercury manometer. The
pressure drop is proportional to the flowrate through the impactor and to the
particle .sizing cutoffs of each stage.
Sampling time at each location varied according to grain loading in the
particular duct being sampled. The impactor plates were inspected after each
test and the sampling time altered on the succeeding test to optimize the amount
of particulate sampled. Sampling for too long results in carryover from one
stage to the next, while sampling for too short a time can result in insufficient
particulate on one or more of the stages for accurate analysis.
Analysis
The impactor plates and filters had been dessicated to a constant weight
before the tests, and tare weights taken. After the test the same procedure
was used to get the final weights of the impactor plates and filters. The dif-
ference between the tare weight and final weight is the weight of particulate
collected. ' • , : ",
The cummulative percentage of the total particulate catch which was col-
lected in each stage was plotted on log normal graph paper against the size
cutoffs for each stage. The resulting best fit straight line is the estimated
particle size distribution of the collected particulates.
