    Acetaldehyde production distillation residue

Use K009 only when the waste stream and named Schedule 12 industry process both match.

Distillation bottoms from making acetaldehyde from ethylene. A federal K source code for organic chemical plants.

Is Federal K009 hazardous waste?

Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. Federal K009 is the federal listing for acetaldehyde production distillation residue. The source, make-up, concentration or test result must match the listing, and the exclusions in SOR/2021-25 still apply.

On federally regulated international shipments, the applicant enters the waste classification in the waste-line details of the federal notification in CNMTS. Also apply the movement rules and exclusions.

What does Federal K009 cover?

Bottom residue left by distillation when acetaldehyde is made from ethylene. The waste must match both the material and the process that made it. A similar material from another operation doesn't take K009.

Official wording
Distillation bottoms from the production of acetaldehyde from ethylene.

Is acetaldehyde production distillation residue Federal K009?

CodeWhen it fits
K009Acetaldehyde production distillation residue, from the process named in Schedule 12.

Decide from where the material came from, how it was used, what is in it and what the tests show. A shared chemical or process word isn't enough, because the full wording and any federal exclusion still apply.
