Remarks:
The CBPA-2 is a copper sulfide flotation concentrate sample originating from Sossego region, located in Pará State, Brazil. The raw material was oven-dried, crushed and pulverized to pass a 0.075 mm screen and then homogenized. A unit of CBPA-2 consists of 160 g of powdered material packaged under nitrogen atmosphere in a glass bottle and vacuum sealed in a laminated aluminum foil cromopel pouch. Analyses must be performed on samples “as is”, without drying. The contents of the bottle should be mixed (by rolling the bottle) before taking samples. The mass of samples used for analyses should be greater than the minimum size indicated for certified and indicative property values. Avoid prolonged exposure to air. Tightly recap the bottle after sampling. Where frequently using, a part of the material must be packaged in a weighing bottle, with a semi-opened lid, and kept in a desiccator under vacuum. The bottle should be stored in a desiccator under vacuum or vacuum sealed in a laminated aluminum foil pouch to minimize oxidation and moisture absorption. This material contains fine mineral particulate. Avoid dispersion of, exposure to dust by inhalation, eye contact or skin contact. Dispose residual material in accordance with regulations pertaining for inorganic chemical and mineralogical waste.

Intended Use:
This reference material is intended for use in the development, validation and quality control of analytical methods and calibration of measurement equipment for the determination of copper and other constituents in sulfide minerals.
