    Graphite-anode chlorine-process chlorinated waste

Use K073 only when the waste stream and named Schedule 12 industry process both match.

Federal K code for chlorinated hydrocarbon waste from purifying diaphragm-cell chlorine made with graphite anodes.

Is Federal K073 hazardous waste?

Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. K073 is the federal listing for graphite-anode chlorine-process chlorinated waste. 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. Follow the movement rules and exclusions.

What does Federal K073 cover?

Chlorinated hydrocarbon waste from the purification step of the diaphragm cell process that uses graphite anodes in chlorine production. The waste form and its generating step must both match, so a similar material from another operation isn't K073.

Official wording
Chlorinated hydrocarbon waste from the purification step of the diaphragm cell process using graphite anodes in chlorine production.

Is graphite-anode chlorine-process chlorinated waste always Federal K073?

CodeWhen it fits
K073It is graphite-anode chlorine-process chlorinated waste from the named Schedule 12 process.

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.
