    Phenol and acetone production distillation tar

Use K022 only when the waste stream and named Schedule 12 industry process both match.

Distillation bottom tars from making phenol and acetone from cumene. A federal K source code for organic chemical plants.

Is Federal K022 hazardous waste?

Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. Federal K022 is the federal listing for phenol and acetone production distillation tar. The source, composition, concentration or test condition must match, and the exclusions in SOR/2021-25 still apply.

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

What does Federal K022 cover?

Distillation bottom tars generated while producing phenol and acetone from cumene. Both the waste form and its named generating step must match. A similar material from another operation isn't K022.

Official wording
Distillation bottom tars from the production of phenol and acetone from cumene.

Is phenol and acetone production distillation tar always Federal K022?

CodeWhen it fits
K022The waste is phenol and acetone production distillation tar from the named Schedule 12 process.

Decide between these entries from the material's real origin, use, composition and test results. A shared chemical or process word doesn't make the codes interchangeable. The full listed condition and any federal exclusion still govern.
