K085, Bottom distillation residue from making chlorobenzenes.
K-listed waste
Bottom distillation residue from making chlorobenzenes
Industry: Organic chemicals.
ComplyOnSiteIs K085 hazardous waste?
Yes. K085 is nonacute K-listed hazardous waste when the waste comes from the named process and matches the named stream. The federal table gives it hazard code (T), toxicity.
A K listing depends on where and how the waste was made, not on a test result alone. A test may add a characteristic code, but it doesn't remove the listing.
On a required hazardous waste manifest, put K085 in Item 13. Check the VSQG exemptions and empty-container rules too.
What does K085 cover?
Distillation or fractionation column bottoms from making chlorobenzenes. The waste form and the exact source process must both match. Chemical content alone is not enough.

Is chlorobenzenes distillation bottoms waste always K085?
| Code | When it fits |
|---|---|
| K085 | Distillation or fractionation column bottoms from producing chlorobenzenes. |
| K096 | Heavy ends from the heavy ends column from producing 1,1,1-trichloroethane. |
| K018 | Heavy ends from the fractionation column in ethyl chloride production. |
The industry, production step and waste form tell these K listings apart, not the chemicals in the waste. The rows above are only the nearby listed streams, so also add any characteristic or other listing that fits. One waste can carry more than one federal code.
Which codes sit beside K085?
