List of issues relevant for adding mixtures of waste to Annex IIIA
This list is based on recital 39 of Regulation No. 1013/2006. The information marked by an asterisk (*) is to be provided. The other information is indicative.
|Proposed wording for the entry in Annex IIIA*: |
|Waste of copper and copper alloys in dispersible form (B1070) mixed with slags from precious metals and copper processing (GB040) and wastes of |
|refractory linings, including crucibles, originating from copper smelting (limited B1100) |
| |

| |
|1. Usual description*: Copper and precious metal bearing scrap in dispersible form |
| |
|2. Waste identification:* |
|European Community list of wastes: 10 06 01 slags from primary and secondary production (Cu- metallurgy) |
|10 06 02 dross and skimmings from primary and secondary production, 10 06 04 other particulates and dust |
|10 07 01 slags from primary and secondary production (Ag, Au and Pt-metallurgy), 12 01 03 non-ferrous metal filings and turnings, 12 01 04 non-ferrous |
|metal dust and particles, 12 01 15 machining sludges other than those mentioned in 12 01 14*, 10 08 09 other slags (other non ferrous metallurgy), 10 10|
|03 furnace slag (non ferrous metallurgy), 16 11 04 other linings and refractories from metallurgical processes other than those mentioned in 16 11 03*, |
|19 02 03 premixed wastes composed only of non-hazardous wastes |
|19 12 12 other wastes (including mixtures of materials) from mechanical treatment of wastes other than those |
|mentioned in 19 12 11* |
| |
|Basel Lists: B1070 + GB040 + B1100 [limited to “waste of refractory linings”only] |
|B1070 Waste of copper and copper alloys in dispersible form, unless they contain Annex I constituents to an extent that they exhibit Annex III |
|characteristics + GB040 Slags from precious metals and copper processing for further refining + B1100 limited to: Wastes of refractory linings, |
|including crucibles, originating from copper smelting |
| |
|3. Physical characteristics*: |
|powdery/powder solid viscous/pasty sludgy liquid gaseous other (specify) |
| |
|4. Chemical characteristics: |
|Composition may vary; See ISRI Specification – Guideline for non-ferrous metals classification (ATTACHMENT 1): commercial name “Drove” |
| |
|5. Potential for contamination*: |
|Normally none. In any case none of the components of the mixture must be hazardous waste due to hazardous characteristics. (e.g. content of heavy |
|metals). The mixture shall be free of insulated wires; copper chlorides; pyrophoric material; asbestos brake linings; furnace bottoms; high lead |
|materials; graphite crucibles; and noxious and explosive materials. |
| |
|6. Information on the process(es) by which the mixture of waste is produced*: |
|The unintentionally produced waste mixture results from maintenance operations of furnaces (e.g. in case of leakages of furnaces) in the copper |
|metallurgical industry. |
| |
|B. Management aspects |
| |
|1. Technological capacity |
|Estimated capacity for recovery in the EU in tonnes: no data available |
| |
|Estimated amount of facilities for recovery in the EU: |
|1 2-10 >10-100 >100-1000 >1000 |
| |
|2. Packaging types |
|( Drum ( Wooden barrel ( Jerrican ( Box ( Bag ( Composite packaging ( Pressure receptacle X Bulk X Other (specify): container |
| |
|Mixtures of scraps with or in dispersible form should be transported in covered trucks and/or in containers |
| |
|3. Storage: |
|Methods of storage at the recovery facility (if appropriate): covered storage |
| |
|4. Trade aspects |
|Amount of waste shipped within the EU (rough indication): no data available |
| |
|Amount of waste export from the EU or import to the EU from third countries (rough indication): no data |
| |
|5. Recovery operation(s) for the mixture of waste*: |
|R12 Exchange of wastes for submission to any of the operations numbered R 1 to R 11 |
|R 4 Recycling/reclamation of metals and metal compounds |
| |
|6. Description of recovery operation(s)*: |
|Indicate the technologies employed for the non-interim recovery operation(s): |
|The waste mixture may be recovered by means of pre-treatment (e.g. physical separation of copper powder etc.) followed by subsequent recovery of the |
|fractions or may be directly recovered in a shaft furnace (=blast furnace), as it is a mixture of lower-grade copper quality. In case of presence of |
|high amounts of brass or copper in dispersible form in the waste mixture, it can be fed to a converter. The use of flash smelter technology instead of a|
|shaft furnace or converter is also possible. Flash smelting is suitable and profitable for lower-grade concentrates. Flash smelting is a closed process,|
|which can achieve up to 99% capture of the sulphur-rich gases from the smelting furnace for the production of sulphuric acid. |
|Impurity metals with high vapour pressures (e.g. Pb, Cd, Zn) volatilize and are collected in the zinc-rich dust. Fe reacts with silica flux to form a |
|silicate slag. Depending on the processes, metals like zinc, lead, iron etc. as impurities of the copper are separated from the copper (e.g. in the |
|flue dust and the slag) and further recovered/refined (recycling of lead, zinc etc in special installations. |
| |
|7. Use of recovered materials (e.g. compliance with technical/industrial quality standards): |
|New pure copper, zinc, lead etc. (depending on the input scrap) |
|The fayalite slag (Iron silicate slag) is further treated in conformity with international standards in order to get a product which is used for |
|sandblasting |
| |
|8. Recovery quota (rough indication)* |
|Amount of recovered material in relation to non-recoverable waste: almost 100% of the copper content is recycled; almost all other metals are recycled |
|in a multi-step-process (from dusts, slags) |
| |
|Non-recoverable fraction (list typical fractions and their major constituents):----- |
| |
|Typical method of disposal (operation) for the non-recoverable fraction:----- |
| |
|C. Environmental benefits |
|Overall environmental benefits of the recovery of the mixture of waste*: |
|X Virgin material conservation X Energy conservation ( Emission reduction (e.g. reduction of greenhouse gas emissions) |
|X Reduction of the amount of waste destined to disposal ( other (please describe) |
| |
|D. ENFORCEABLILTY |
|Possible methods for the control of compliance of the mixture of waste with the proposed entry for Annex IIIA by enforcement officers (e.g. simple |
|tests)*: |
| |
|The same way as for each pure fraction. It is advisable to carry along analyses, proofs of non-hazardous characteristics of the waste mixture or of any |
|of the fractions; indication of the appropriate industrial specifications (ISRI). |
