K018, Heavy fraction from making ethyl chloride.

  • K-listed waste

    Heavy fraction from making ethyl chloride

Industry: Organic chemicals.

Listed withK-listed waste

Toxic K-listed waste from organic chemical plants. Heavy ends from the fractionation column in ethyl chloride production.

Is K018 hazardous waste?

Yes. K018 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 K018 in Item 13. Check the VSQG exemptions and empty-container rules too.

What does K018 cover?

This listing covers heavy ends from the fractionation column in ethyl chloride production. The waste form and the source process must both match this listing. Chemical content alone isn't enough.

Is heavy fraction from making ethyl chloride always K018?

CodeWhen it fits
K018It is heavy ends from the fractionation column in ethyl chloride production.
K017It is heavy ends (still bottoms) from the purification column while producing epichlorohydrin.
K020It is heavy ends from distilling vinyl chloride in vinyl chloride monomer production.

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.
