# Other natural chemical minerals

## 1. Scope and Applicability

Cover the full residual natural chemical-mineral category, not only barytes: natural barium sulphate (barite/barytes), natural barium carbonate (witherite), natural borates/concentrates (including actual colemanite, tincal, ulexite or another separately identified natural borate), qualifying naturally occurring boric acid, fluorspar, natural magnesium sulphates kieserite and epsomite, and other individually demonstrated qualifying natural chemical minerals such as strontianite or celestine. Residual coverage is open to an actual named geological chemical mineral only after confirming its identity/state and absence from another more specific mineral category; it is not all minerals under shared HS253090. Current CPC3 notes/detail name16190 without family explanation or current HS2022 correspondence; official CPC2.1 historical correspondences identify HS251110/251120/252800/252921/252922/253020 and shared253090. These and original HS2022 states support this candidate boundary, not a claimed current accepted HS mapping. Raw, sorted, washed, crushed, ground or physically concentrated mineral gates are distinct actual states. Barite washing/jigging/tabling/flotation/heavy-media/magnetic separation, colemanite physical concentration/grinding, and fluorspar physical concentration/dewatering are conditional examples, not one recipe applied to every family. Witherite, natural magnesium sulphates, natural boric acid and residual strontium minerals need their own actual mine/sorting/preparation and gate protocols; no unsupported common flotation, dissolution or crystallization route is imposed. HS25Note1 normally excludes calcination/roasting and crystallization, but heading2511 expressly admits natural witherite whether or not calcined excluding barium oxide; heading2528 admits natural borates/concentrates whether or not calcined and excludes borates separated from natural brine. Include actual admitted natural-mineral calcination with measured phase changes, crystal-water loss, fuel and emissions, not automatic synthetic-salt or oxide manufacture. Naturally occurring boric acid qualifies only with geological natural origin and not more than85% H3BO3 on independently measured dry weight; manufactured acid produced by reacting borate ore, or natural acid above this threshold, is outside this boundary. Strontianite may be calcined under HS25Note4 while strontium oxide is excluded; admissibility of another thermal state requires its own boundary review. Exclude synthetic/precipitated barium salts, manufactured refined borates/boric acid, brine-separated borates, HF/elemental fluorine/other manufactured fluoride chemicals, magnesium or strontium oxides and manufactured salts, formulated fertilizers/drilling fluids/chemical mixtures and finished articles. Other specifically categorized phosphates, pyrites, salt, sulphur, clay, gypsum, carbonate construction stone, graphite, feldspar/mica/talc and other nonchemical minerals use their own boundaries. Include actual development/rehabilitation, attributable infrastructure, extraction, preparation, admitted heat treatment, controls, storage/loading and expressly included receipt delivery; document lifetime attribution and upstream providers, never zero unknown burdens. `wco-chemical-minerals-2022`, `unsd-chemical-minerals-scope-2026`, `usgs-barite-2022`, `usgs-fluorine-2017`, `eti-colemanite-preparation-2026`, `ifc-mining-2007`

## 4. Measurement and Unit Rules

| rule_id | Applies to | Required property | Required unit | Rule |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| reference_basis | final_product | Mass | kg | D is the positive accepted net gate-output total in kg. Exclude packaging and cancelled internal transfers. cp_output records D; every card uses per 1 kg reference flow. |
| conversion | utility and material rows | Declared row property | kg; m3; MJ | Retain raw readings. Electricity: 1 kWh = 3.6 MJ. Mass/volume conversion requires measured density, temperature and applicable pressure; retain water content and active chemical fraction. |
| category_balance | production | Mass | kg | Independently weigh positive accepted net as-received gate total D kg excluding packaging/rejects/returns and matching stocks; every exchange divides by the same selected-product D. For measured wet-basis free-water fraction w,0 <= w <1, dry mass = D*(1-w); use a phase-preserving moisture method, not ignition loss that removes hydrate water or carbonate CO2. For measured dry-basis actual mineral/species fraction g, contained species mass = D*(1-w)*g; state mineral formula/hydration and assay method. Barite is BaSO4, witherite BaCO3; assay reported as Ba converts to the declared species using molar-mass ratio only with confirmed speciation, not one interchangeable barium product. Fluorite is CaF2; as-F assay converts to CaF2 using M(CaF2)/(2*M(F)) only when that F is confirmed in fluorite; fluoride-ion/other F species are separate. Boron assay as-B2O3 equivalent is not actual oxide: elemental B mass = B2O3-equivalent mass*2*M(B)/M(B2O3), preserving assay basis and without asserting a borate mineral purity. Natural H3BO3 dry fraction gH <=0.85 requires measured species and geological origin; as-B alone cannot establish H3BO3 if other borates are present. Identify kieserite/epsomite and retained hydration independently; neither crystal-water release nor sulfate assay establishes free water or pure MgSO4. Actual admitted calcination uses independent input/output weighing, phases, free/structural water, carbonate CO2 and dust balances; no unchanged hydrate mass, fixed yield or assumed conversion. Recovery uses matched input/output contained identified species after stock correction, not output grade alone. Reconcile feed solids, accepted grades, actual co-products, waste rock/tails/dust, thermal losses and stocks, plus fresh/recycled/evaporated/discharged water separately. No empirical purity, yield, reagent dose or utility intensity defaults. |

#### Outputs

##### Product flows

###### Physically prepared natural barite at declared mineral gate (`final_product`)

Representative natural BaSO4 mineral product only, with net whole accepted ore/concentrate mass and measured impurities/water; Product/Mass UUID unresolved. Witherite, each natural borate, natural boric acid, fluorspar, kieserite, epsomite, strontianite, celestine or another approved residual chemical-mineral dataset replaces this reference with its own concrete natural product/state/gate identity and independently weighed D; do not sum gates or use barite for them. Calcined state requires its own admitted product phase gate identity.

## 7. Allocation and Co-product Handling

| rule_id | Applies to | Rule | source_ids |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| allocation_hierarchy | joint production | Prefer process subdivision or defensible system expansion; otherwise use demonstrated physical causality. Use economic allocation only with consistent period, price, currency and sensitivity when physical causality is unavailable. Retain the unallocated inventory. | `ef-allocation-2021` |
| allocation_product | reference and co-products | Subdivide family extraction, physical preparation, admitted thermal treatment and shared controls. Retain unallocated joint inventories and independently accepted co-output amounts/specifications; impurities within one accepted mineral are not separate co-products. Separate fluorspar/metal concentrates or barite/other recovered mineral products with actual causality, or matched period price/grade economic allocation and sensitivity when causality is unavailable. Rejects are waste unless independently established as saleable product with fate; purchased same-family feed carries upstream burden or justified cut-off. Attribute development/closure once over measured lifetime accepted outputs. No automatic avoided synthetic salt, acid, fertilizer, drilling fluid or waste-disposal credits. |  |
| allocation_waste | waste and recycling | Classify each output by physical state and actual fate. A sale does not automatically make a residue a co-product; internal recycling receives no avoided-product credit. Apply treatment burdens once. |  |

### Calculation Rules

| rule_id | Applies to | Formula or rule | Inputs | Output | source_ids |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| normalization | all cards | Exchange = attributable period quantity / D. Reconcile inventories and cancel internal transfers before aggregation. | cp_output; row-specific cp records | per 1 kg reference flow |  |
| physical_balance | production | Independently weigh positive accepted net as-received gate total D kg excluding packaging/rejects/returns and matching stocks; every exchange divides by the same selected-product D. For measured wet-basis free-water fraction w,0 <= w <1, dry mass = D*(1-w); use a phase-preserving moisture method, not ignition loss that removes hydrate water or carbonate CO2. For measured dry-basis actual mineral/species fraction g, contained species mass = D*(1-w)*g; state mineral formula/hydration and assay method. Barite is BaSO4, witherite BaCO3; assay reported as Ba converts to the declared species using molar-mass ratio only with confirmed speciation, not one interchangeable barium product. Fluorite is CaF2; as-F assay converts to CaF2 using M(CaF2)/(2*M(F)) only when that F is confirmed in fluorite; fluoride-ion/other F species are separate. Boron assay as-B2O3 equivalent is not actual oxide: elemental B mass = B2O3-equivalent mass*2*M(B)/M(B2O3), preserving assay basis and without asserting a borate mineral purity. Natural H3BO3 dry fraction gH <=0.85 requires measured species and geological origin; as-B alone cannot establish H3BO3 if other borates are present. Identify kieserite/epsomite and retained hydration independently; neither crystal-water release nor sulfate assay establishes free water or pure MgSO4. Actual admitted calcination uses independent input/output weighing, phases, free/structural water, carbonate CO2 and dust balances; no unchanged hydrate mass, fixed yield or assumed conversion. Recovery uses matched input/output contained identified species after stock correction, not output grade alone. Reconcile feed solids, accepted grades, actual co-products, waste rock/tails/dust, thermal losses and stocks, plus fresh/recycled/evaporated/discharged water separately. No empirical purity, yield, reagent dose or utility intensity defaults. | Matched mass, volume, composition and stock measurements | Balance residual and uncertainty |  |

### Data Quality Requirements

| requirement_id | Applies to | Requirement | Evidence |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| representativeness | dataset | Use matching production and exchange periods, actual technology, geography and supplier state. Record startup, shutdown, seasonal variation and substitutions. | collection records |
| identity_and_ranges | all cards | Unresolved identities and missing independent range evidence remain explicit. Do not replace measurement by a guessed industry range or by missing-as-zero. | manifest review metadata |

## 9. Validation Rules

| rule_id | Applies to | Rule | source_ids |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| validate_reference | final_product | Verify 1 kg, positive D, product state, property/unit and every required qualifier. Each dataset fixes one product and route. |  |
| validate_balance | site | Independently weigh positive accepted net as-received gate total D kg excluding packaging/rejects/returns and matching stocks; every exchange divides by the same selected-product D. For measured wet-basis free-water fraction w,0 <= w <1, dry mass = D*(1-w); use a phase-preserving moisture method, not ignition loss that removes hydrate water or carbonate CO2. For measured dry-basis actual mineral/species fraction g, contained species mass = D*(1-w)*g; state mineral formula/hydration and assay method. Barite is BaSO4, witherite BaCO3; assay reported as Ba converts to the declared species using molar-mass ratio only with confirmed speciation, not one interchangeable barium product. Fluorite is CaF2; as-F assay converts to CaF2 using M(CaF2)/(2*M(F)) only when that F is confirmed in fluorite; fluoride-ion/other F species are separate. Boron assay as-B2O3 equivalent is not actual oxide: elemental B mass = B2O3-equivalent mass*2*M(B)/M(B2O3), preserving assay basis and without asserting a borate mineral purity. Natural H3BO3 dry fraction gH <=0.85 requires measured species and geological origin; as-B alone cannot establish H3BO3 if other borates are present. Identify kieserite/epsomite and retained hydration independently; neither crystal-water release nor sulfate assay establishes free water or pure MgSO4. Actual admitted calcination uses independent input/output weighing, phases, free/structural water, carbonate CO2 and dust balances; no unchanged hydrate mass, fixed yield or assumed conversion. Recovery uses matched input/output contained identified species after stock correction, not output grade alone. Reconcile feed solids, accepted grades, actual co-products, waste rock/tails/dust, thermal losses and stocks, plus fresh/recycled/evaporated/discharged water separately. No empirical purity, yield, reagent dose or utility intensity defaults. |  |
| validate_coverage | handoff | Verify each applicable exchange, its provider or environmental compartment and final waste fate; identify skipped checks, unresolved identities, missing measurements and upstream gaps. Errors or unassessed mandatory coverage cannot be labelled complete. |  |

## 10. Published Dataset Profile

Representative natural-barite Product/Mass UUID unresolved; a baryte elementary resource is not this product. Each other family gate needs its own confirmed natural product identity; current CPC3 HS2022 correspondence and residual family assignment require independent review |
| required_quality_disclosure | Identity and measurement gaps; boundary coverage; uncertainty; allocation; temporal and geographical representativeness |
| update_trigger | Changed product, route, yield, supply, waste fate, site or representative period |
