Three base-metal concentrates, each weighing 25 kg, were ground to -175 mesh (90 pm) and homogenised. They were then sub-sampled into foil-lined envelopes and sealed under argon before being issued to 27 participating laboratories for analysis. Over 4000 analytical results were returned and, after evaluation, a total of 37 elements within the three samples have been given recommended or more cautious probable values. The high standard of precision attained has enabled clear-cut distinctions to be made between methods for the determination of some elements. The most important of these is between titrimetry and electrogravimetry in the determination of copper.

Following preparation of the series of 20 standards, IGS 20-39 (l) , several chief chemists and laboratory managers whose laboratories had participated in their analysis, were asked to indicate what additional reference materials would be valuable to their work. Base metal concentrates were considered to be the most useful and this opinion is supported by the fact that, of those 20 standards, the lead-zinc concentrate, IGS 28, is the most frequently requested.

These three concentrates, IGS 42-44, were generously supplied by the Broken Hill Associated Smelters Pty Ltd and each weighed some 25 kg. In some ways, in view of the considerable work involved, both in preparation and analysis, this is a smaller weight than desirable.

participating laboratories in May, 1982. Laboratories were asked to report their results within a year.

Figure 1. Sampling hierarchy

HOMOGENEITY

For each of the 3 samples, two 500 mg portions, A and B were taken from eight sub-samples for neutron activation analysis using the Triga reactor at ICI, Billingham. The eight sub-samples were taken from various points in the sampling hierarchy in order to maximise any possible variation.

The sub-samples were irradiated for 20 min in a flux of 3 x 1012n/cm2/sec and counted for one hour using a Ge-Li detector. No attempt was made to calculate actual concentrations, results being expressed as induced activitylseclg. Results for Sb and Co, elements adequately sensitive to thermal neutrons, in IGS 43 and 44 are shown in Tables 2 and 3. Results for Sb, Ag and Au in IGS 42 are shown in Table 1.

Anomalously low results (asterisked in the tables) for single sub-samples in IGS 42 and 43 and for two sub- samples in IGS 44 were probably due to operator error using the pneumatic transfer system to the core. These have been omitted from any calculations.

Analysis of variance on the data (seven pairs in the case of IGS 42 and 43 and six pairs in the case of IGS 44) gives very low F values at the 0.05 significance level suggesting that there is no inhomogeneity (Tables 1 to, 3). However, doubt has recently been expressed about this method of checking homogeneity (5 ) . An alternative approach is to compare the precision of the data with the known precision of the method. This shows that the standard deviation of the results is either below or only a little above the standard deviation of the counting statistics, except in the case of Au in IGS 42 where the deviation is more than 20 times greater than that due to the counting statistics. The inference is that homogeneity is satisfactory at the 500 mg sampling weight level except in the case of Au in IGS 42. This is, perhaps, not unexpected at a concentration of approximately 1 ppm. The results in Appendix 2 show that there is a considerable measure of

agreement between laboratories as to the true Au content where fire assay has been used and where sample weights were usually 7.5 or 10 g. This suggests that 10 g should constitute a satisfactory weight of sub-sample for the determination of gold. In the case of IGS 44, no NAA results were obtained but the inter-laboratory results show little agreement except that the gold content is perhaps less than 0.5 ppm. The fact that there is a measure of within- laboratory agreement suggests that, at the 10 g weight

level, the sample is homogeneous for gold and that variation between laboratories is due to problems of analysis at this low concentration. However, without further analytical evidence no firm conclusion can be drawn.

REPORTING OF RESULTS

Participating laboratories were each sent two envelopes and asked to make two determinations from each The two envelopes were, in reality, splits of the same sub-sample. It has been noted elsewhere (6), that analytical results are strongly dependent on the laboratory from which they come and the above device was adopted in an attempt to lower that dependence. Two determinations from each of two containers should yield more independent results than four from one container.

Analysts were asked to dry the samples for not more than one hour at 100°C (to minimise oxidation), to report moisture and to give analytical results on a dry basis. They were also asked to determine other elements in addition to the major ones if they had the time and resources available and, for all elements, to give a brief outline of the methods used. A guide to the reporting of results (7) was sent with the samples.

Not all laboratories complied with these instructions; some in one aspect, a few in almost all. For example, different drying conditions were used, assay

laboratories often returned one averaged result, others returned up to ten determinations by one method. On occasion, results were rounded unnecessarily even though advice was given about this in the enclosed guide to reporting. This was more noticeable for some elements than for others - many analysts apparently felt justified in reporting cadmium to three significant figures whereas others rounded to two. The reporting of, for example, 0.123 and 0.127%, even if the last figure is uncertain, is much more valuable than rounding to 0.12 and 0.13%. This causes an apparent lowering of the laboratory precision as well as increasing the overall variance. Figure 2 shows the data for Cu in IGS 42 after ordering with respect to concentration, the stepped form being due to rounding.

EVALUATION OF RESULTS

All together, 27 laboratories took part in the analysis of the samples. They were broadly grouped as follows: mining and metallurgical industry, 12; commercial analytical laboratories, 6; surveys and other government departments, 7 and universities, 2. They are listed in alphabetical order in Appendix 1.

Results were entered on data sheets identified by laboratory number, container number and method of analysis. They were also stored in a computer file for processing, Not all laboratories returned their data in the allotted time and the closing date was extended. Data on each sample totalled over 1000 and more than 30 elements were determined, some, however, by only one laboratory. The main data are listed in Appendix 2.

Data were processed on the NERC Honeywell 66:DPS-300 computer using a program devised by the writer and implemented by computer support staff. It is based on considerations discussed in a previous paper (8). The program first orders the data after which various statistical parameters may be calculated - the mean and standard deviation together with the 95% confidence intervals of the mean, skewness (db,) and kurtosis 0, the median, Gastwirth median (GM) (9), dominant cluster mode (DCM) (lo), 25% trimmed mean (25%), mmean (TRI) and Hampel's M-estimate (12A) (11). With the exception of the DCM, these were some of the most successful estimators amongst some 60 studied at the valuable Princeton seminar (11) in 1971. The DCM is particularly useful for the evaluation of skewed data. Significance levels for skewness and kurtosis (12) and the probability plot correlation coefficient (13) may be used to check the normality of a distribution and any discrepant data may be eliminated by considering dbl and or by using Grubbs' T-test (12). At any stage, the data can be plotted sequentially as S-distribution curves, different symbols being employed for the major analytical methods. This is an invaluable way of examining the data since any departures from the characteristic elongated S-shape of a normal distribution are seen and any outliers may be easily identified. It is found that outliers identified by eye often coincide with those identified using more mathematical criteria,

In previous work (l), occasional differences in the values obtained by different methods were noted. For example, there were significant differences in the means obtained for iron by titrimetry and by AAS, and also in the precision of results for niobium by gravimetry and XRF analysis. In the intervening years, there has been a tendency toward greater standardization of method but inconsistencies between methods emerged at once in the processing of data for lead in IGS 42. After the elimination ot outliers, gravimetric analysis gave slightly lower results than volumetry and those by AAS were significantly higher.

One important factor to be tested was whether the larger number of results returned by some laboratories weighted the data to any significant extent. This was done by averaging the results by any one method from any one envelope from each of these laboratories. There were, on occasions, minor differences between the various estimates of central tendency as well as in the standard deviations.

The facility to examine many aspects of the data rapidly using a computer program was not without its problems. For some elements, the writer was faced with a plethora of estimates of a true value and inevitably the final choice was, to some extent, subjective. This is best illustrated by reference to the 140 data for lead'mentioned above (see Table 4 and Fig. 3). Three main methods of analysis were used, gravimetry, titrimetry and AAS. The last of these cannot be recommended at such high concentrations and gave both poor precision and a higher than average estimate (M=75.34% or, without outliers, 75.33%) (see Fig. 4). Gravimetry also gave poor precision and a high estimate (M=75.05%) (see Fig. 5). Precision was much improved by removing the straggling outliers and the median became 74.76%. Titrimetry gave the highest precision before any elimination of outliers with an estimate, based on the median of 74.85% (Fig. 6). It seemed sensible to discount AAS results altogether and base any estimate of a true value on the remaining methods of analysis. The data also needed to be averaged as

described earlier to see whether the larger number of results from some laboratories had any significant effect. Estimates of a true value then centred on 74.85%. A final decision was taken to include all data minus AAS results in the calculations (n=103). After eliminating outliers, the 83 remaining results gave an estimate of 74.84% and this was chosen as the recommended value. 95% confidence limits for the median were based on the normal approximation to the binomial distribution.

In contrast, the zinc determinations in IGS 43 posed no problems (see Fig. 7). After the elimination of 4 low and 12 high outliers, the 130 remaining results formed an

almost perfect normal distribution for which most estimates agreed on a figure of 50.02%. Averaging results produced an estimate of 50.01%. A recommended value has been based on the mean of all results minus outliers.

Recommended values have been assigned where there is good agreement from at least five laboratories; where there were data from Iess than five laboratories or where, for any other reason, there was cause to doubt them, estimates have been termed "probable". They have been termed "possible" values where doubt about them was considerable either because of poor agreement or because of lack of data. Such values are given as a guide only,

Lead. These results have already been described in detail by way of illustrating the methods of evaluation. As stated above, the reconimended value is 74.83%

Zinc. hlost results were determined by AAS but four laboratories used titrimetry and their data were considerably higher (hl=3.038). The median of AAS results minus outliers (3.918) has been chosen as an estimate. Since the great variation between methods throws some doubt on the accuracy of zinc analysis at the 4% level, the value of 3.91% has been considered as probable rather than recommended.

Copper. The recommended value has been based on the median of the mainly AAS results minus outliers.

Sulphur. Gravimetric determinations appeared the most reliable and a recommended value has been based on th~s method alone although, using all results, the final estimate was little different.

Silver. Five assay results had a much smaller spread (1202-1287 ppm) than those obtained by AAS (1170-1700 ppm) but, after removal of outliers, both methods were in close agreement. A recommended value has been based on the mean of all results minus outliers.

Gold. Seven laboratories determined gold, of which four, using fire assay or fire assay with AAS finish, had a range of 0.8-1.0 ppm. The median of 0.9 ppm has been chosen as a probable value but, in view of the small number of laboratories involved, without confidence limits.

Iron. Most laboratories used AAS. The four groups of titrimetric data suggest a high bias for this method. A recommended value has been based on the mean of all results after elimination of outliers.

Manganese. Results were mainly by AAS and the median of all results has been used for a probable value.

C a l c i u m . There were four sets of data, three of which were in good agreement. A possible value has been based on the median of the latter.

Silica. Gravimeuy was the preferred method. After elimination of outliers, a recommended value has been based on the median.

Arsenic. Tiuimeuy and A A S were equally favoured as methods and there was no si&icant difference between them. A recommended value has been based on all results minus outliers.

Cadmium. The recommended value has been based on the median after eliminating outliers.

Antimony. As for cadmium.

Cobal t . After the elimination of two grossly high results, a probable value has been based on the DCM.

Nickel. As there were so few data, a possible value is based on the median.

Tin. As for nickel.

M e r c u r y . Only three laboratories determined mercury, all by flameless AAS. The range was from 5 to 6.1 ppm so that a possible value of 6 ppm has been assigned.

Other elements, (not listed in Appendix 2). There were data for a number of other elements but often from only one laboratory so that no values could be assigned. Selenium results from two laboratories ranged between 4 and 9 ppm which, perhaps, provides some indication of the level of concentration. For beryllium, there was little agreement between four laboratories though 10 ppm is, perhaps, an indication of magnitude. Laboratory No 28 determined some elements using two different ICP programmes. Where the results from these agreed, the inference is that they may well be right. These results are as follows: K, 500 ppm; Mg, 135 ppm, Ti, 110 ppm and Al, 0.14%.

Zinc Concentrate, IGS 43

Copper. AAS data were often rounded so that there were many results at 0.11,0.12,0.13% and so on. The data were averaged as previously described but estimates were the same as when all the data were used and a recommended value 0.13%, has been based on the latter.

Sulphur. After eliminating outliers, the Gastwirth median has been used as the recommended value, 32.20%.

Silver. AAS determinations appeared the most consistent. After both high and low outliers had been removed, the recommended value 24 ppm, has been based on the median.

Iron. The data suggest that, of the two preferred methods, AAS gives a slightly higher value than titrimetry - 11.21% compared with 11.18%. The median of all results, 1 1.21% is the recommended value.

Manganese. The recommended value, 1.40% has been based on the median.

Sil ica. After elimination of outliers, the mean, 1,12%, has been adopted as a recommended value.

Copper Matte, IGS 44

Arsenic. The spread of results was wide (200-1500 ppm) and a probable value has been based on the median.

Cadmium. The recommended value, 0.179%, has been based on the median after elimination of outliers.

Mercury. There was remarkable agreement between five of the seven laboratories determining mercury (range, 18-22.2ppm). A recommended value has been based on the median of these values.

Cobalt. After removal of outliers, all estimates were in good agreement and the recommended value has been based on the median.

Nickel. Even after the removal of anomalous results, there was still a wide spread (10-4lppm) and only a possible value has been given.

Other elements, (not listed in Appendix 2). Gold determinations were submitted by only two laboratories. One returned 1 ppm by fire assay; the other, 0.07 ppm by AAS and 0.1 ppm by fire assay. Two laboratories determined calcium. As for IGS 42, laboratory No 28 used two ICP programmes which agreed at about 0.26%; the other laboratory returned 0.53%. For germanium, there were results of 5 ppm from three laboratories, the other two returning 0.3 and 3 ppm. Five laboratories returned results for antimony which ranged from 100 to 700 ppm, those for tin, from three laboratories, ranged between 10 and 50 ppm.

Copper . It was noted in the evaluation of the evaluation of the copper-nickel sample, IGS 20 (1). that electrogravimetry gave a higher value than titrimetry and that AAS was even higher. In IGS 44, after elimination of outliers, there was good agreement between electrolysis and AAS but titrimetry was again lower. That there is a difference between electrogravimetry and titrimetry, the two preferred methods of determining copper at high concentration, is disturbing. There are few outliers by either method but if these are removed, the ranges are 40.12-40.45 and 39.90-40.39% and estimates of a true value are 40.33 and 40.16%, respectively. Determinations by both methods are very precise and give such close 95% confidence intervals that they do not even overlap. The data by both methods are plotted in Figure 8. Several laboratories that participated in the original analytical work have already agreed to re-determine copper using both methods and it is hoped that the results will help to resolve the anomaly. This has been discussed with many analysts and the general consensus is that electrogravimetry is the more reliable method. Accordingly, for the moment, until the position is clarified, the recommended value is 40.33%. with the proviso that, in this particular set of data, titrimetry gives a significantly lower value of 40.16%.

L e a d . As for IGS 42, there is evidence that gravimetry gives a lower result than titrimetry. The difference is not significant and a recommended value of 34.86% has been based on the mean of all results minus outliers.

Zinc. After removal of outliers, the recommended

value of 1.5 1% has been based on the median.

Sulphur. Very low results from two laboratories were eliminated and the recommended value is the mean of the remaining data.

Silver. AAS results were higher than those by fire assay though the difference was not statistically significant. The recommended value 691 ppm, has been based on the mean of all results minus outliers. It should be noted that AAS data were about 3 ppm higher than this figure; fire assay data were some 5 ppm lower.

Iron. There was no significant difference between the two preferred methods of analysis - titrimetry and AAS. The recommended value 1.1 %, has been based on all results minus outliers.

Manganese. Despite few data, agreement was good and a recommended value has been based on the mean of all results after removal of one outlier.

Arsenic. Most laboratories used titrimetry or AAS and the results differed little between methods. The recommended value 1.14%, has been based on all results minus outliers.

C a d m i urn. After elimination of outliers, the recommended value is the median.

A n t i m o n y . Although only four results were removed and the remaining data appeared satisfactory, a more cautious probable values, based on the Gastwirth median, has been given.

Cobalt. Eight low results were eliminated and the recommended value is again the Gastwih median

Nickel. The recommended value has been based on the median.

Tin. There was poor agreement between the seven laboratories determining tin (range 0.12-0.47%). Two laboratories returned results around 0.36% and this is tentatively given as a possible value.

Other elements. (not listed in Appendix 2). Gold data were submitted by eight laboratories but they ranged from 0.046 to 0.6 ppm with no agreement. Either gold determination on this sample is particularly difficult or it is not homogeneous for gold. For calcium, Laboratory No 28 achieved good agreement at 0.3% between its two ICP programmes and this is possibly of the right order. Four laboratories determined selenium, the range being from 0.068 to 0.11%; 0.1% is suggested as a tentative value. Silica data were provided by three laboratories, two of which agree on a figure of about 1.6%. Of the four laboratories determining tellurium, two agree on a figure of about 20 ppm. The two groups of results for aluminium from laboratory No 28 agree well at 0.12%. Chromium data suggest a figure of approximately 20 ppm and those for magnesium, 400 ppm.

CONCLUSIONS

Altogether, 37 elements within the three samples have been assigned recommended or probable values. This is an impressive achievement by the participating laboratories. The results, however, underline one problem - for some elements where different methods were used, there are different results. Sometimes this may be due to the use of an inappropriate method (AAS at high concentration, for example) but not in other cases; there are definite biases between methods for some elements at specific concentrations. There is, apparently, no certainty which method may be right. This suggests that any

reference materials programme using only one "preferred method" of analysis for a specific element could be problematical. Indeed, for the present data, the agreement for mercury in.IGS 43 by five laboratories has already been described as remarkable. However, as they all used a similar flameless AAS technique, is the final result a good estimate of a true value or could thcre be a method bias?

The major discrepancy that persists is that between electrogravimetry and tiaimetry in the determination of copper. It occurred for IGS 20, for IGS 44 and an examination of the data for a copper concentrate from Bougainville, IGS 45 indicates that it is present yet again. Lest those unfamiliar with the characteristics of a good reference material think that the variations between methods indicate a less than satisfactory material, it should be remarked that the opposite is the case. It is precisely because homogeneity is at a high level and that precision of analysis by different methods is also very high that these biases are readily apparent; with data of lesser quality, they would be masked within a general spread of results.
