    Cyanide heat-treatment oil-bath sludge

Use F010 only when the waste stream and non-specific Schedule 12 source both match.

Toxic sludge from oil baths used to harden metal parts in cyanide salt heat treating. Stream and source must both match.

Is Federal F010 hazardous waste?

Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. Federal F010 lists cyanide heat-treatment oil-bath sludge. The source, composition, concentration or test condition on record must match, and the exclusions in SOR/2021-25 still apply.

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

What does Federal F010 cover?

This is sludge from an oil quenching bath in metal heat treatment where cyanide was part of the process. Spent pot-cleaning solution and sludge from treating quench wastewater are separate streams.

Official wording
Quenching bath sludge from oil baths from metal heat treating operations if cyanides are used in the process.

Is oil-bath sludge from cyanide heat treatment Federal F010 or another code?

CodeWhen it fits
F010Sludge from an oil quench bath in metal heat treatment that used cyanide.

Decide from where the material came from, how it was used, what is in it and the test results. A shared chemical or process word doesn't make 2 codes interchangeable. The full listed condition and any federal exclusion still decide.
