This article considers the problem of analytical control and certification of secondary and anthropogenic metal-bearing raw materials. Industrialeconomic and ecological aspects of consideration of the problem of metalbearing wastes were defined. Ecological aspect is concluded in heavy metals' toxicity: entering the water, soil and plants, they cause serious diseases. At the same time, industrial-economic aspect is concluded in the fact that metal-bearing wastes may be the valuable raw materials and the source of non-ferrous, rare and precious metals. Usually, the content of non-ferrous metals in these wastes is significantly higher than in initial minerals. The complex assessment of anthropogenic dumps on Russian South and experience of certification of secondary raw materials with determination of the content of valuable components visually show the necessity of the system approach to the governmental solution of waste problem. Efficiency of this decision mostly depends on the level of analytical control of metal-bearing secondary and anthropogenic raw materials, which is important and specific part of modern applied analytical chemistry and secondary metallurgy. One of the possibilities of such analytical control of secondary and anthropogenic raw materials is the necessity of complex approach to this problem solution: consideration of all stages of control lifecycle (sample cutting, sample preparation, analysis, processing and summarizing of obtained data); joint application of the complex of complementary methods of analysis (atomic-spectral, X-ray fluorescence, mass-spectral, chemistry-spectral); conclusion about the controlled product quality and certificate registration.

This work was carried out with the co-financing of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russian Federation according to the program of increasing of competitiveness of National University of Science and Technology “MISiS” among the leading global scientific-educational centers for 2013–2020 (No. К1-2014-026) and with the support of Russian Scientific Funds according to the project No. 14-13-00897, Russian Foundation For Basic Research, according to the grant 13-03-00440.
