    pH-moderated bauxite residue

Use B2110 for pH-moderated bauxite residue as a Basel List B waste without an Annex III hazard.

Listed withBasel List B codes

Bauxite residue, called red mud, with its pH moderated to under 11.5. Non-hazardous leftover from alumina refining.

Is Basel B2110 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. Basel B2110 is on Basel List B, so material that matches it is normally outside the Convention's hazardous definition. That changes if Annex I constituents give it an Annex III hazardous characteristic. SOR/2021-25, including its exclusions, decides Canadian federal control.

On a federally regulated international shipment, the applicant enters the waste classification in the waste line of the federal notification in CNMTS. The movement rules and exclusions still apply.

What does Basel B2110 cover?

Covers bauxite residue, commonly called red mud, once its pH has been reduced below 11.5. List B status holds only while the waste has no Annex III hazardous characteristic.
