SECTION 1
INTRODUCTION
In accordance with the Environmental Protection Agency's program
for developing new source performance standards, TRW participated in
the fugitive emission testing at Phelps-Dodge cooper smelter located
in Ajo, Arizona.
The testing program was developed to provide arsenic data on two
fugitive emissions systems. The converter fugitive emission system
removed air pollutants from the converter area by the use of hoods
during the slag and copper blow cycle. The second system removed the fug-
itive emissions during the matte tapping operation from the Reverb furnace.
This process operation was operated on an intermittent basis only.
The testing consisted of the following: three arsenic/sulfur
dioxide tests, three particulate tests, and three particle sizing tests,
all of which were run at the converter fugitive emission system.
During the intermittent process operation the following tests
were carried out at the matte tapping location: three arsenic sulfur
dioxide tests, two particulate tests and three particle sizing tests.
The following sections will be presented in this report: summary
of results, description of sampling points, and sampling and analytical
procedure. The appendices contain field, laborabory and sample calculations.
-------
SECTION 2
SUMMARY AND DISCUSSION OF RESULTS
The results of the testing program are summarized in Tables 1-6.
The arsenic/sulfur dioxide data for the converter fugitive emission
system and the matte tapping fugitive emission system are presented in
Tables #1 and #2 respectively. The particulate sizing summary is pre-
sented in Tables #3 and #4. The particle sizing summary is presented
in Table #5. The arsenic results for process samples are given in
Table #6.
During the program one additional arsenic/sulfur dioxide test was
run at the converter fugitive emission system. The test was performed
because of a possible error in rinsing a U connector which was believed
rinsed with acetone instead of .IN NaOH. To compare results the arsenic/
sulfur dioxide test, (table #1) was included with other tests.
The sampling required coordination with plant officials to assure
that the testing was performed during the process operation.
The testing at the matte tapping fugitive emission system required
intermittent testing only when the copper matte was removed from the
Reverb furnace. The sampling at the converter fugitive emission system
required testing only during the slag and copper blow cycles.
During the data reduction, the meter volume was back calculated to
account for sulfur dioxide that was removed by the three 10% hydrogen
peroxide impingers. The back calculation for sulfur dioxide was accom-
plished in the following order. First, parts per million sulfur dioxide
at standard conditions was calculated. Then parts per million was con-
verted to a fraction by dividing by 10 . This number was added to one
and the result multiplied by volume of gas collected through the dry gas
meter at standard conditions. The result of multiplication yielded the
actual gas volume collected at standard conditions. Since S02 removed
by the peroxide impingers does not reach the dry gas meter corrected values
for dry gas meter volumn (at meter conditions) found on the summary sheets
will be slightly higher than those obtained from the field data sheets.

LOCATION OF SAMPLING POINTS
Converter Fugitive Emission Duct
Samples for the converter fugitive emission duct were taken
through a 64" diameter horizontal duct located approximately 75 feet above
the ground. The sampling ports on the top and side of duct allowed
for vertical and horizontal traverses during sampling. The nearest
upstream flow distrubance was a bend 43 feet (8 duct diameters)
away from the sampling point. The nearest downstream disturbance
was a bend 11 feet (2 duct diameters) away. Twelve traverse points
were selected,six on each traverse. Figure 1 is a schematic of
the sampling location.
Matte Tapping Fugitive Emission Duct
Matte tapping fugitive emissions were sampled through a 73" diameter
fiberglass horizontal duct located approximately 25 feet above the
ground. Sampling ports located on the side and bottom allowed for
horizontal and vertical sampling. The nearest upstream disturbance
flow is located 48 feet (8 duct diameters) away from the sampling posi-
tion. Twelve traverse points were utilized for sampling: Six on
each of two traverses. Figure #2 is a schematic of this sampling location.

SECTION 5
SAMPLING AND ANALYTICAL PROCEDURE
A) Participate Sampling
Participate sampling was performed according to EPA Method 5, as
revised in the Federal Register, Volume 42, Number 160, Thursday, August
18, 1977. Figure 5 is a diagram of the sampling train used for the
particulate tests.
Before each test a velocity traverse of the stack was done to de-
termine the average stack temperature and velocity pressure. The velocity
traverse was done according to EPA Methods 1 and 2. A grab sample of the
stack gas was taken and analyzed with a Fryrite apparatus for C02. 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
120QF.
The particulate samples were taken at traverse points at the center
of equal areas within the stack. The number of traverse points was de-
termined by the number of duct diameters upstream and downstream from
the nearest flow disturbances. The sampling rate was adjusted to iso-
kinetic conditions using a nomograph which had been set based on the
preliminary velocity traverse data, and moisture estimate.
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 particulate 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 im-
pingers. 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 were 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) Arsenic/Sulfur Dioxide Sampling
The sampling train used for arsenic/sulfur dioxide collection consisted
of an EPA method 5 train modified by adding three additional impingers in
series to the four used in method 5 train. The first two impingers con-
tained 150 milliliters of distilled water. The third, was empty and the
fourth, fifth and sixth impingers contained 150 milliliters of 10% hydrogen
peroxide and the seventh impinger containing 250 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.
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
remainder 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 s,ixth impingers
were measured and placed in a separate glass sample container along with a
distilled water 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.
Sulfur Dioxide Analysis
The samples were analyzed for sulfur dioxide by taking an aliquot of
the hydrogen peroxide impinger solutions and titrating with barium per-
chlorate solution and thorin indicator as described in EPA Method 6 "De-
termination of Sulfur Dioxide Emissions from Stationary Sources."

Arsenic Analysis
1. Fi 1 ter - Warm filter and loose participate matter with 50ml
0.1N NaOH for about 15 minutes. Add 10ml concentrated HNOs 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 HNOs, transer to a 50ml volumetric flask and dilute.
2. Probe Wash and Impinger Solns- These should be combined and a
200 ml sample withdrawn. Add 10ml concentrated HNOs ancl evaporate to a ..'
few milliliters. Redissolve with 1ml 1:1 HNO 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 HNO^. Impinger
solutions 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 hydro-
gen 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 HN03 containing less than
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 SOs fumes fill the flask. A reduction in volume to about
5ml or less may be necessary. This step removes HNOs which causes a violent
reaction when the reducing agent is added resulting in poor reproducibility
and lowered sensitivity by producing !£, N02 and possibly other species.
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 arsenic to As+3. The sample is then diluted to about 15ml and 15ml
of concentrated HC1 is added. Powdered An (or NaEttty) is then added, the
reaction vessel is imediately closed and the nitrogen or argon carrier
flow initiated. A peak should be produced within a few seconds.

C. Particle Sizing
The size distribution of the participates was estimated with a Brinks
six stage impactor. Figure 6 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 carry-
over 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 ac-
curate 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 difference between the tare weight and final weight is
the weight of particulate collected.
The cummulative percentage of the total particulate catch which was
collected 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.*
