Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If cobalt content predominates
Cobalt ores take precedence in classification over copper-silver mixes.
If precious metal furnace residues
Roasted residues from precious metal recovery classify separately from raw ores.
If municipal incineration ash
Ash from waste incineration, even with metals, excludes from 2620 and goes here.
