This annex contains information on risk management measures as specified in appendix 3 of
the registration dossier for isolated on-site and transported intermediates
1. Brief description of technological process applied in manufacture of the
intermediate EC 273-694-8







When melting and casting zinc and zinc alloys, a scum is formed on the surface of the melt, consisting
of zinc, zinc oxide and small amounts of the alloying elements, their oxides and possibly fluxing agents.
The scum is extracted/isolated from the surface of the metallic bath by mechanical separation
The separated material is poured into small containers near the furnace or the casting line and
allowed to cool down
The melting, holding furnace(s) and casting unit are placed under negative pressure and the exhaust
gasses are filtered before release to the stack; the dust collected in the bag-house filters has a very
similar composition as the Intermediate EC 273-694-8. So, the basic reaction to form the intermediate
is the atmospheric oxidation of metallic zinc to zinc oxide (see scheme 1)
The molten metallic zinc phase or alloyed zinc - (EC 273-175-3) – are cast and delivered to downstream
users
The Intermediate EC 273-694-8 is further transferred to enclosed storage zones or silos through
especially designed transfer units: forklift, containers and/or conveyors, pneumatic transport ...
Waste of the process:
Used filter-bags
Used big-bags
2. Brief description of technological processes applied in use of the
intermediate EC 273-694-8





This Intermediate EC 273-694-8 is typically used in the production of secondary zinc or zinc
compounds
It is unloaded from transport trucks, trains, ADR-big-bags or containers, …and transferred to storage
zones or silo’s through specially designed transfer units,
The Intermediate EC 273-694-8 is optionally blended with other zinc containing primary or secondary
materials and fed to the treatment unit if not temporarily stored
The mixture is fed to:
Pyro-process: rotary furnace, induction furnace, Fluid Bed roasters, ISF, Waelz kiln, etc. for
production of zinc
Hydro-process: chemical hydrometallurgical reactors for further synthesis reactions of
another zinc compound, i.e. zinc sulphate EC 231-793-3; optionally, the zinc sulphate solution
is fed to electrolytic cells for production of zinc metal, EC 231-175-3
Waste of the processes: The intermediate enters the zinc production process. For the waste
generated, see waste from zinc production. Waste specifically related to the intermediate are used
big-bags
3. Means of rigorous containment and minimisation technologies applied
by the registrant during the manufacturing and /or use process
 Description of the technical means to rigorously contain the substance
 Furnace is closed, gas cleaning section as well
 Furnaces and installations are operated under strong aspiration (negative pressure in the system)
 Process enclosure where needed


All processes are performed in a confined area
If applicable, containment of liquid volumes in sumps to collect/prevent accidental spillage
 Identification of residual emissions to workplace & environment
Residual exposures at the workplace and the environment are assessed from regular measurements of
dust/metals and represent usually a global exposure to several steps of the process.
Dust control: dust needs to be measured in the workplace air (static or individual) according to
national regulations.
Measurements:
o Workplaces: dust
o Environment air: stack measurement (dust measured regularly depending on permit, with
control by external company.
o Environment water: typically measured prior to discharge, if emissions to surface waters are
relevant – continuous measurement or according to permits
 Description of the procedural and control technologies to minimise emission and resulting exposure
 Air emissions are controlled by use of cyclones and baghouse-filters and/or other specific air emission
abatement devices. This may create a general negative pressure at the system openings (loading,
sampling, production exit).
 On-site waste water treatment techniques are applied to prevent releases to water (if applicable) e.g.:
chemical precipitation, sedimentation and filtration
 Local exhaust ventilation systems are in place
 Occasional (sampling, cleaning, maintenance) and potentially direct exposures to workers are
minimised in time and controlled by strict management
 Special care for the general establishment and maintenance of a clean working environment by e.g.:
o Cleaning of process equipment and workshop
o Storage of zinc residues in dedicated silos, containers, lodges
 Wearing of gloves and protective clothing is compulsory
 With normal handling, no respiratory personal protection (breathing apparatus) is necessary.
 Eyes: safety glasses are optional but recommended

Measures are taken to prevent emissions at unloading
The Intermediate EC 273-694-8 is unloaded from transport trucks, train, ADR-big-bags or containers, …
and transferred to storage zones or silo’s through especially designed transfer units
Material composition, handling, storage procedures and general guidance on safe use are
communicated to the personnel or downstream (external) user by means of Safety Data Sheet or
Product Information Sheet (PIS)
5. Special procedures applied before cleaning and maintenance


Procedures are in place to ensure safe cleaning and maintenance operations
o Stopping (part of) the process
o Cooling down and proper ventilation of equipment
o Switch off power supply and lock out procedure (insuring equipment cannot function while
maintenance is on-going)
o Special PPE mandatory for cleaning personnel or maintenance technicians
o Planning and training for internal and external personnel
general guidance on safe use is communicated to the personnel or downstream (external) user by
means of Safety Data Sheet or alike (e.g. Product Information Sheet)
6. Describe activity and type of PPE in case of accidents, incidents,
maintenance and cleaning activities
Accident release measures:
 Workers: In the event of dust rising, avoid inhalation by putting on suitable, approved breathing
apparatus (filter class P3 (DIN EN 143) when exposed to dust or fumes). Remove unprotected staff
from the hazardous area. Put on protective equipment.
 Environment: accidental spillage will be contained and vacuumed. Prevention of emissions to the
public sewers, surface or ground water.
 Cleaning: Collect spilled product for reuse, preferably by vacuuming [standards???]. Collect for use in
accordance with the intended purpose or return to the producer for treatment. Fill and or pump any
possible sludge into appropriate containers. Dispose of any contaminated material as waste according
to the disposal/recycle procedure.
Fire: Wear approved self-contained breathing apparatus and proper protective clothing, collect contaminated
extinguishing material separately; it must not enter the public sewers.
Contact with water or acids: avoid contact with water or acid to prevent hydrogen formation (formation of
hydrogen possible at high temperature)
For Periodic maintenance: (Furnace and associated equipment if applicable, Off-gas treatment system, Repair
operations, Observational tasks and control activities), the following measures are taken:
 General protective and hygiene measures: Keep away from food, beverages and animal feed. At work
do not eat, drink, smoke or take snuff. Remove soiled, soaked clothing. After work and before breaks
ensure thorough skin cleansing. Separate storing of protective / work clothing is necessary.
 Respiratory protection: Use only approved respirators. Use respiratory protection masks with at least
P3 filter (DIN EN 143). With a longer period of exposure the use of self-contained respirators is
recommended.
 Hand protection: Gloves or gauntlets providing protection from chemicals according to EN 374 of
acrylonitrile butadiene rubber, rubber, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or neoprene.
 Eye protection: Safety glasses. Tight-closing safety goggles (DIN EN 166), if necessary
 Body protection: Usual chemical work clothing
