    Spent ethylene dibromide purification adsorbent

Use K118 only when the waste stream and named Schedule 12 industry process both match.

Federal K code for spent adsorbent solids from purifying ethylene dibromide, made by bromination of ethene.

Is Federal K118 hazardous waste?

Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. Federal K118 is the listing for spent ethylene dibromide purification adsorbent. The source, composition, concentration or test condition on record must match, and the exclusions in SOR/2021-25 still apply.

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

What does Federal K118 cover?

Spent adsorbent solids thrown out after purifying ethylene dibromide, made by brominating ethene. Both the waste form and the step that made it must match, so a similar material from another operation isn't K118.

Official wording
Spent adsorbent solids from the purification of ethylene dibromide in the production of ethylene dibromide via bromination of ethene.

Is spent ethylene dibromide purification adsorbent always Federal K118?

CodeWhen it fits
K118The waste is spent ethylene dibromide purification adsorbent from the named Schedule 12 process.

Decide from where the material came from, how it was used, what it holds and the test results. A shared chemical or process word doesn't make codes interchangeable. The full listed condition and any federal exclusion still apply.
