    Ferrochromium-silicon emission-control dust or sludge

Use K090 only when the waste stream and named Schedule 12 industry process both match.

Federal K code for emission control dust or sludge from making ferrochromiumsilicon, an alloy of chrome, silicon & iron.

Is Federal K090 hazardous waste?

Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. K090 is the federal listing for ferrochromium-silicon emission-control dust or sludge. 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 K090 cover?

Dust or sludge caught by emission controls in ferrochromiumsilicon production. The waste form and its generating step must both match, so a similar material from another operation isn't K090.

Official wording
Emission control dust or sludge from ferrochromiumsilicon production.

Is ferrochromium-silicon emission-control dust or sludge always Federal K090?

CodeWhen it fits
K090It is ferrochromium-silicon emission-control dust or sludge 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.
