    Methyl bromide reactor water and spent sulphuric acid

Use K131 only when the waste stream and named Schedule 12 industry process both match.

Federal K code for reactor wastewater and spent sulphuric acid from the acid dryer in methyl bromide production, a fumigant.

Is Federal K131 hazardous waste?

Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. Federal K131 is the listing for methyl bromide reactor water and spent sulphuric acid. 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 K131 cover?

Reactor wastewater, and spent sulphuric acid from the acid dryer, from making methyl bromide. Both the waste form and the step that made it must match, so a similar material from another operation isn't K131.

Official wording
Wastewater from the reactor and spent sulfuric acid from the acid dryer from the production of methyl bromide.

Is methyl bromide reactor water and spent sulphuric acid always Federal K131?

CodeWhen it fits
K131The waste is methyl bromide reactor water and spent sulphuric acid 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.
