F-listed waste
Spent cyanide solution from cleaning heat-treatment salt pots

F-list process waste.

Reactive & toxic F-listed waste. Spent cyanide solution from salt bath pot cleaning in metal heat treating.

Is F011 hazardous waste?

Yes. F011 is a nonacute F-listed hazardous waste when the named source process and waste stream match. The federal table gives it hazard code R, T for reactivity and toxicity.

F011 is listed by source, so how and where the waste arose decides it, not a concentration test alone. A test can add a characteristic code but doesn't remove the listing once its conditions are met. On a required hazardous waste manifest, put F011 in Item 13. Look up the VSQG exemptions and empty-container rules too.

What does F011 cover?

Spent cyanide solutions from cleaning salt bath pots in metal heat treating. The waste form and its source process must both match the F-list wording.

Hazard code: R, T for reactivity and toxicity
Rule: 40 CFR 261.31

Is spent cyanide pot-cleaning solution F011, F010 or F012?

Code	When it fits
F011	Spent cyanide solutions from salt bath pot cleaning from metal heat treating operations.
F010	Quenching bath residues from oil baths from metal heat treating operations from a process that uses cyanide.
F012	Quenching waste water treatment sludges from metal heat treating operations from a process that uses cyanide.

The operation and waste form pick the listing, not the chemical content alone. The rows show nearby listed streams, not every code that could apply. Add any characteristic or other listing that also fits, since one waste can carry more than 1 federal code.
