    Spent reactor catalyst from making 1,1,1-trichloroethane

Industry: Organic chemicals.

Listed withK-listed waste

Toxic K-listed waste from organic chemical plants. Spent catalyst from the hydrochlorinator reactor in 1,1,1-trichloroethane production.

Is K028 hazardous waste?

Yes. K028 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 K028 in Item 13. Check the VSQG exemptions and empty-container rules too.

What does K028 cover?

This listing covers spent catalyst from the hydrochlorinator reactor while producing 1,1,1-trichloroethane. The waste form and the source process must both match this listing. Chemical content alone isn't enough.

Is spent trichloroethane reactor catalyst always K028?

CodeWhen it fits
K028It is spent catalyst from the hydrochlorinator reactor while producing 1,1,1-trichloroethane.
K029It is waste from the product steam stripper while producing 1,1,1-trichloroethane.
K105It is separated aqueous stream from the reactor product washing step while producing chlorobenzenes.

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 codes sit beside K028?
