Full Description

These test methods cover the determination of total carbon, sulfur, and acid-base characteristics in metal bearing ores and related materials such as leach residues, tailings, and waste rock within the following ranges:

AnalyteApplication Range, %Quantitative Range, %
Total Carbon0 to 100.08 to 10
Total Sulfur0 to 8.80.023 to 8.8

NOTE - The test methods were tested over the following ranges:

Total Carbon0.01 % to 5.87 %
Total Sulfur0.0002 % to 4.70 %
Residual Carbon from Pyrolysis0.002 % to 4.97 %
Residual Sulfur from Pyrolysis0.014 % to 1.54 %
Pyrolysis Loss Sulfur0 % to 4.42 %
Hydrochloric Acid Insoluble Carbon0.025 % to 0.47 %
Hydrochloric Acid Loss Carbon0 % to 5.78 %
Hydrochloric Acid Insoluble Sulfur0.012 % to 4.20 %
Acid Neutralization Potential Acidity Titration-1.0 % to 100 %
Acid Neutralization Potential Acidity Titration Low Range-1.0 % to 2 % CaCO3
Nitric Acid Insoluble Sulfur0.006 % to 0.924 %
Nitric Acid Loss Sulfur-0.08 % to 4.19 %
Sodium Carbonate Insoluble Sulfur0.007 % to 3.78 %

The quantitative ranges for the partial decomposition test methods are dependent on the mineralogy of the samples being tested. The user of these test methods is advised to conduct an interlaboratory study in accordance with Practice E1601 on the test methods selected for use at a particular mining site, in order to establish the quantitative ranges for these test methods on a site-specific basis.

The test methods appear in the following order:

 Sections
Carbon and Sulfur, Total10.1 – 10.9
Carbon and Sulfur, Residual from Pyrolysis10.10 – 10.18
Carbon and Sulfur, Hydrochloric Acid Insoluble10.19 – 10.27
Acid Neutralization Potential Acidity Titration10.28 – 10.36
Acid Neutralization Potential Acidity Titration Low Range10.37 – 10.46
Sulfur, Nitric Acid Insoluble10.47 – 10.55
Sulfur, Sodium Carbonate Insoluble10.56 – 10.64
