K-listed waste
Acetonitrile purification residue from making acrylonitrile

Industry: Organic chemicals.

Toxic K-listed waste from organic chemical plants. Bottoms from the acetonitrile purification column in acrylonitrile production.

Is K014 hazardous waste?

Yes. K014 is nonacute hazardous waste when your waste comes from the named process and stream. The federal table gives it hazard code (T), for toxicity.

A K listing follows how and where the waste arose, not a concentration test. A test may add a characteristic code, but it doesn't remove this listing.

On a required hazardous waste manifest, put K014 in Item 13. Check the VSQG exemptions and empty-container rules too.

What does K014 cover?

This listing covers bottoms from the acetonitrile purification column while producing acrylonitrile. The waste form and the source process must both match this listing. Chemical content alone isn't enough.

Is acrylonitrile purification residue always K014?

Code	When it fits
K014	It is bottoms from the acetonitrile purification column while producing acrylonitrile.
K013	It is bottom stream from the acetonitrile column while producing acrylonitrile.
K017	It is heavy ends (still bottoms) from the purification column while producing epichlorohydrin.

The industry, production step and waste form tell these K listings apart, not chemical content. The rows show nearby listed streams, not every code that could apply. Add any characteristic or other listing that also fits, because a waste can carry several federal codes.

Which wastes take K014?
