CERTIFIED REFERENCE MATERIALS.

Abstract

The Canadian Certified Materials Project (CCRMP) is a facet of the Minerals Technology Activity of CANMET's Minerals and Earth Sciences Research Program. Emphasis in CCRMP is on the preparation of compositional reference materials for use in analytical laboratories associated with mining, metallurgy and the earth sciences. Such materials include ores or host rock, mineral concentrates and waste products such as a blast furnace slag and an electrostatic-precipitator collected dust. Data on 30 reference materials are presented. This catalogue describes the certified and provisional reference materials that may be purchased from CANMET through the Coordinator of CCRMP. Where possible, the source, mineralogical and chemical composition and recommended values of the certified constituents are stated.
