  • K-listed waste

    Separated reactor-wash water from making chlorobenzenes

Industry: Organic chemicals.

Listed withK-listed waste

Toxic K-listed waste from organic chemical plants. Separated water from washing reactor product in chlorobenzene production.

Is K105 hazardous waste?

Yes. K105 is a nonacute K-listed hazardous waste when the source process and waste stream match. Its federal hazard code is (T), for toxicity.

K105 is listed by source, so how and where the waste arose decides it, not a concentration test alone. A test may add a characteristic code but doesn't remove the listing. On a required hazardous waste manifest, put K105 in Item 13. See VSQG exemptions and empty-container rules.

What does K105 cover?

The separated water layer from washing the reactor product in chlorobenzene production. The waste form and its exact source process must both match. Chemical content alone isn't enough.

Is chlorobenzene reactor-wash water K105 or another code?

CodeWhen it fits
K105It is the separated water from the product washing step in making chlorobenzenes.
K108It is condensed column overheads from product separation and condensed reactor vent gases in making 1,1-dimethylhydrazine (UDMH) from carboxylic acid hydrazides.
K112It is by-product water from the drying column in making toluenediamine by hydrogenating dinitrotoluene.

The industry, production step and waste form tell these K listings apart. The rows show nearby listed streams, not every code that can apply. Add any characteristic or other listing that also fits, as one waste can carry more than 1 federal code.
