• Description:
  A walk-through survey of the Copperhill Facility determined its unsuitability for the sulfate project. The operations visited were: the copper-sulfate process (SIC-2819) where copper shot and weak sulfuric-acid (7664939) are mixed; the fungicide batch process where copper-sulfate is combined with soda-ash or ammonium-hydroxide to form fungicides to produce copper-carbonate (7492684) and tribasic copper-sulfate (7758987); the acid plant where sulfuric-acid is formed from sulfur-dioxide (7446095); and the ferric-floc operation where iron-trioxide slurry plus sulfuric-acid form ferric-sulfate (10028225). Potential health hazards observed are sulfur-dioxide, sulfuric-acid mists, vanadium-pentoxide (1314621), and copper salts. The company's medical care and safety practices are described.
