K-listed waste
Heavy purification residue from making epichlorohydrin

Industry: Organic chemicals.

Toxic K-listed waste from organic chemical plants. Heavy ends from the purification column in epichlorohydrin production.

Is K017 hazardous waste?

Yes. K017 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 K017 in Item 13. Check the VSQG exemptions and empty-container rules too.

What does K017 cover?

This listing covers heavy ends (still bottoms) from the purification column while producing epichlorohydrin. The waste form and the source process must both match this listing. Chemical content alone isn't enough.

Is epichlorohydrin purification heavy ends always K017?

Code	When it fits
K017	It is heavy ends (still bottoms) from the purification column while producing epichlorohydrin.
K018	It is heavy ends from the fractionation column in ethyl chloride production.
K014	It is bottoms from the acetonitrile purification column while producing acrylonitrile.

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 K017?
