    Naphthalene-based phthalic anhydride low-boiling residue

Use K023 only when the waste stream and named Schedule 12 industry process both match.

Distillation light ends from making phthalic anhydride from naphthalene. A federal K source code for organic chemical plants.

Is Federal K023 hazardous waste?

Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. Federal K023 is the federal listing for naphthalene-based phthalic anhydride low-boiling residue. 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 K023 cover?

Distillation light ends generated while producing phthalic anhydride from naphthalene. Both the waste form and its named generating step must match. A similar material from another operation isn't K023.

Official wording
Distillation light ends from the production of phthalic anhydride from naphthalene.

Is naphthalene-based phthalic anhydride low-boiling residue always Federal K023?

CodeWhen it fits
K023The waste is naphthalene-based phthalic anhydride low-boiling residue 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.
