K-listed waste
Acetonitrile-column bottom liquid from making acrylonitrile

Industry: Organic chemicals.

Reactive and toxic K-listed waste from organic chemical plants. Bottoms from the acetonitrile column in acrylonitrile production.

Is K013 hazardous waste?

Yes. K013 is a nonacute K-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.

K013 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 K013 in Item 13. Look up the VSQG exemptions and empty-container rules too.

What does K013 cover?

Bottom stream from the acetonitrile column in acrylonitrile production. The waste form and its source process must both match the K-list wording.

Are acetonitrile-column bottoms from acrylonitrile production K013, K011 or K014?

Code	When it fits
K013	Bottom stream from the acetonitrile column while producing acrylonitrile.
K011	Bottom stream from the wastewater stripper while producing acrylonitrile.
K014	Bottoms from the acetonitrile purification column while producing acrylonitrile.

The industry, production step and waste form pick the K 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.

Which wastes take K013?
