    Light distillation fractions from making phthalic anhydride from ortho-xylene

Industry: Organic chemicals.

Listed withK-listed waste

Toxic K-listed waste from organic chemical plants. Distillation light ends from making phthalic anhydride from ortho-xylene.

Is K093 hazardous waste?

Yes. K093 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 K093 in Item 13. Check the VSQG exemptions and empty-container rules too.

What does K093 cover?

Distillation light ends from making phthalic anhydride from ortho-xylene. The waste form and the exact source process must both match. Chemical content alone is not enough.

Is phthalic anhydride light ends waste from ortho-xylene always K093?

CodeWhen it fits
K093Distillation light ends from producing phthalic anhydride from ortho-xylene.
K023Distillation light ends from producing phthalic anhydride from naphthalene.
K094Distillation bottoms from producing phthalic anhydride from ortho-xylene.

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.
