    Spent cyanide heat-treatment pot-cleaning liquid

Use F011 only when the waste stream and non-specific Schedule 12 source both match.

Spent cyanide solutions from salt bath pot cleaning in metal heat treating. Stream and source must both match.

Is Federal F011 hazardous waste?

Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. Federal F011 lists spent cyanide heat-treatment pot-cleaning liquid. 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 F011 cover?

This is the spent cyanide solution left from cleaning a salt-bath pot used in metal heat treatment. Oil-quench sludge and sludge from treating quench wastewater are not included.

Official wording
Spent cyanide solutions from salt bath pot cleaning from metal heat treating operations.

Is spent pot-cleaning liquid from cyanide heat treatment Federal F011 or another code?

CodeWhen it fits
F011Spent cyanide solution from cleaning a metal heat-treatment salt-bath pot.

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.
